Columbia asks if you are willing to be considered for their MA on their phd app. If you've checked yes, it could be that they just decided to send everyone who checked yes a mass QMSS program email.

Congrats to everyone who have received admissions! Does anyone have any intel on NYU? They released results on Feb 1 last year but historically a week or two later than that. Crossing fingers that they're going to go even earlier and make decisions next week...

I'm in my second round as well. I got into a good program last year that I would've ordinarily been happy to go to, but it was far from my top choice and quite far from my SO's school (which is one of my top choices too, both for academic and relationship reasons). I declined in the end with the assurance from my college profs that my application this year would be much stronger this season. If I don't do well this year, I honestly don't know what I would do. Probably hate myself forever for giving up a perfectly good program!! Not sure I'd try again within the next year or two.

Is it common to be writing these things in LaTeX? I honestly never even considered it. I would think that LaTeX would INCREASE the number of pages rather than keep one within the page limit! I'm not super pro with it though, so maybe there are some spacing tricks I don't know

My boyfriend is doing his phD at one of my top choice schools, so obviously getting in there would be an absolute relief. Otherwise...i suppose we'd work out the long distance for the next few years

can't wait 4 weeks. must know now

congrats to the uiuc admit!

has anyone claimed the notre dame interview yet?

oh dear. and so it begins.

Holding up pretty dreadfully, and developing an addiction to the grad cafe results search page despite expecting minimal movement for a couple of weeks... Might I suggest Sherlock, if you are into British shows? The third season finale just came out today

thx! I guess it doesn't really matter anyway (just curiosity I suppose) so I won't bother anyone about it.

Does anyone know if there is a way to find out who is on the adcom? I heard that it wasn't supposed to be a secret or anything, but I haven't been able to find anything for my schools.

long time lurker, but had to register to ask about this. Is this info you have about this year in particular?? Seems like they have all generally made offers after the 31st in previous years, so I was really hoping for a less nerve-wracking january
