I second this, avoid the burbs at all costs

email just a heads up, there is a results search button at the top of this page, if you hadn't noticed it or if you're new. Typing in penn state and geography, for example, will show all the data that people have entered for said college and program, including when and how they were notified, for what program, etc.

If you haven't heard back, it probably means you are on a waitlist.

yeah, I got my acceptance from Penn State 1-2 weeks ago. The letter said they were offering acceptance+funding to only about a dozen people...

I would say that not being contacted at all means waitlisted, not rejection. There would seem to be no reason to keep you hanging otherwise.

well, I see that berkeley didn't like any of us..bummer

awesome! congrats! really wish I would hear something back from berkeley soon...now that I've heard from one of my upper programs, I just want to hear something from them so I know whether I will have to make a though decision.

cool idea, but you know stats aren't everything . In any case, I'll fill it out when I hear back from all the schools to which I applied. You can find average GRE statistics for Minnesota here: http://www.grad.umn.edu/programs/select_program.html?l=t

someone posted a rejection last week with this comment "A professor let me know informally in an email, and also said that official notifications should go out in about a week."

ah, the geography results search seems so slow! too bad there aren't more of us here to contribute. In any case, at least I can apparently hope to hear back from berkeley this week....... I bet the OSU came from mb1212. Judging from her or his interests, I wouldn't be surprised if he/she applied to work with Joel Wainwright at OSU.

I'm in geography, just linking you to the results page
