Got into Oxford for the DPhil! No info in offer letter/email about whether I've been nominated for funding - does that mean I haven't been? I thought that they let people they've nominated for funding (eg Ertegun, Clarendon scholarships) know in the offer letters. Would be sad, since, like many, I can't and wouldn't attend without funding

(Don't think it was very personalized, though it was addressed to me by name.)

Claiming a Toronto admit as well, came in at 7:00 on the west coast.

Is Yale definitely done with its offers?

Interesting and plausible enough. But why the one (and only one) rejection?

The Toronto acceptance and rejection could well be trolls.

Two NYU acceptances posted, so less likely it's a troll (right?)...anyone want to claim?

Anyone want to claim the NYU acceptance? Probably a troll, but if not...

Any chance USC isn't done with its call list? I'm perplexed because I don't see anything in my youSC portal inbox (i.e. no rejection or waitlist letter), nor have I received an e-mail, but I haven't received a call either. Also does anyone want to claim the USC waitlist? I have a sneaking suspicion it's a troll, would be nice to have that suspicion allayed...

Do we think that USC's phone calls and Toronto's emails are done? (I.e. If we haven't received them we didn't get in)?

Re: UCLA, if you haven't received a phone call, I wouldn't lose hope, since I was told it's a rolling admissions system - not exactly sure what that means, but it might mean that they haven't notified waitlisted folks, and will just accept them later on depending on what happens with their first round of accepted people.

Well it had my name Thanks! Pretty sparse e-mail, suggesting a phone call to discuss the details of the offer.

Happily, I can claim one of the UCLA acceptances.

I'm not so sure Princeton is done sending out acceptances. Sure, 3 acceptance posts on GradCafe is lower than in years past, but not that much lower than the 4 acceptance posts from a couple of years ago. In any case, I am definitely on edge.

What are the odds that Princeton is spreading out its calls over 3+ days, i.e. that we're still in the running if we haven't yet received a call?

True, but there were apparently two phone calls on February 13th, and the person who got an e-mail on the 14th didn't get a phone call because they were international. So that's some evidence maybe that all the phone calls (i.e. domestic acceptances) went out yesterday.

Ah, I see. More acceptances posted. Damn.

Do you have evidence that anyone else got a call/e-mail from Princeton? If not, does anyone have any ideas on how to smoke out whether the single purported admit is a troll?

What are the odds that we're accepted/waitlisted at USC if we haven't received a rejection e-mail from them? Do you all think they've sent out all their rejection letters? Seem to be a fair number of posts listed on GradCafe

Any idea why Berkeley does this? Are the emails personalized by different professors, or something along those lines? Seems like needless cruelty unless there's some reason like that.
