Fingers crossed for waitlists to my two schools that have reported this week!
-
right, i forgot. Congrats again!
I guess we will know soon enough...
The board has about as many as last year. I'm wondering if anyone will claim the wait-list. Curious if that's over too.
-
Can feel my chances for acceptance this year slipping away.
-
I had been thinking UNC was done with acceptances... Do you really think there will be more? (I.e. any reason to hope?!)
Well it looks like in past years they offer admissions right up until the rejection letters go out. So far people have heard through unofficial channels - e.g. POIs - so its possible that some people just hadn't received a letter from a POI, or their POI just hasn't gotten to it yet.
-
Yes, perhaps Stanford soon and also Northwestern? Harvard also started sending accepts in the second week of Feb last yer, but spaced them out over a few weeks.
I wouldn't be surprised if Duke and MIT started sending out rejections soon, though I have already accepted defeat. Still holding out a glimmer of hope for Berkeley, UCLA and Columbia, but perhaps that's misplaced.
Maybe UNC will finish its accepts today, rejects by Friday.

Claiming a UNC admit. Comparative
Congrats! Was it a personal e-mail or form?
-
have any of the recent UNC admits been in the comparative subfield?
Also comparative here, still nothing (positive, negative or neutral).
-
Congrats to UNC admits. Is it safe to assume all of these are IR people?
I hope so... I just got considerably more anxious.
Edit: Congrats to the UNC Admits!
-
Any chance that we'll hear from UNC tomorrow?
-
Without tipping my hand too much, I can virtually guarantee you that the UMD acceptance is genuine.
Well, Quigley received a UNC, and UNC isn't quite due for the blast of acceptances - so it's quite likely that we have a candidate whom they wanted very much.

About UPenn, from the results section:
I didn't post it, just thought I'd put it here in case some UPenn applicants missed it.
The day isn't over yet, though.
-
I was notified by email, with an official letter to come through snail mail by next week. Good luck!
Congrats man!

Looking at the spreadsheet, though, I think we need to realize that despite the huge number of some schools, the actual number of people actually disputing the slots is smaller than the raw numbers.
For instance, in some schools, if you don't have a combined score of 1400 in the GRE (321, in the new exam) you won't probably be considered . Also, some people submit their applications, but their recommenders do not upload their letters. The list could go on forever.
If you trust your application, you should not worry about the large number of applicants.
The conversion from 1400 to 321 isn't entirely valid, because the new test measures intervals of improvement more effectively (e.g. the last few scores on the GRE aren't all within the same percentile). I'm just pointing this out in case anyone saw this and panicked.
-
Good luck to everyone today!
-
Sorry to everyone who just got the rough news.
-
Congrats to the U of Virginia admit!

That is a very long waitlist. Most schools' waitlists are a small fraction of the size of the number of people they admitted.
Do you have any info on how long a waitlist tends to be?
-
I am hundred percent sure that Duke is done with admits and sent 20 offers and 19 waitlits for 2013 Fall.
How long does a waitlist tend to be for any given program?
-
Hey guys, I was rejected by one school today which made me feel terrible. I am international applicant. After the rejection I went to a friend's party to forget about the bad news. When I came back I found a Duke admission in my mailbox. The essential part of the story is not to lose confidence, even when facing bad news.
Thanks for updating us.
I'm still very hopeful for my top choice (which could be due any day over the next two weeks), especially in light of my waitlist today.
-
Congrats to all the admits! Looks like quite a few rejects were issued tonight too.
-
I have to say, being waitlisted isn't as bad as I'd thought. I'm not upset - although a little disappointed. It's nice to know that I at least qualify. And as long as I'm still waiting on other programs, there's still hope, so no time for despair.
-
Waitlisted at Pitt. Nice letter.
-
Waitlisted at GMU
Sorry to hear it MarketMan. But you're still one acceptance ahead of me!
Fulbright Dream Land

Hello everyone.
As we wait on our Fulbright decisions, let's take a moment to dream a bit. What are you most looking forward to? What do you want to learn?
Personally, I can't wait to get back to Germany, take day trips by train and eat lots of pretzels.
