I applied to four programs in architecture, Berkeley, Columbia, Harvard, and UPenn. Got an email on Jan. 25 from Berkeley that I had been accepted with funding. In the beginning of March I was notified that I had been awarded a university-wide doctoral fellowship which increased the amount of funding and provided summer funds. Was notified of rejection by Harvard on March 20 by postal service and UPenn via website on March 14 (from Penn I didn't get any notification, but found out because I happened to check my application status a week later). Both were expected due to less than ideal fit; felt like there were some programs/initiatives ("Center for Globalization", etc) that I could have worked well with, but had some trouble finding a really good POI at either place. Also had way more trouble contacting POIs at these schools than my other two. Columbia could be a good fit and I had a really great in-person meeting with my POI there before I submitted my application, but it's March 21 and I haven't heard anything yet or seen any change to my application status. I'm kind of surprised that it's so late with no response, but I assume by now that it must be an implicit rejection and that I am likely heading to Berkeley! Good luck everyone.
