Thanks for the input

I am too. Does anyone know what the better housing solutions are for grad students?

Congrats on the acceptances willow, you have every reason to be satisfied with the results of your applications. May I ask what you are going to decide?

Thanks a lot

Congratulations!

Hi everyone, I am lucky enough to have been accepted in a program which I am very enthusiastic about and there is now nothing refraining me from accepting. To accept I need to send the director of graduate studies an email. This is going to sound silly but I don't really know how to phrase it and I would appreciate any input you may have on the matter. Thanks

Just got that rejection myself

Sorry to hear that. Actually not that sorry 'cause you got into Bekeley, which was my dream school . Congrats on that one!

I applied to OR for which there was a rejection posted today. And I agree on wishing luck to everyone. We are starting the final sprint of this process, let's hope we all finish the race happy with our results.

Another dull day. It's already March 10th and I still have 6 applications out there. I know I am facing a rejection from UMich after all the acceptances and waitlistings got posted, and GaTech is not before the end of the month. But still, what are the other schools doing? Cornell, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, email me already!

What would be even better is an iPhone application that would gather this information for all your applications so you could check with one glance where you are everywhere in real time

Congrats on the admission! I don't know much about USC's program. I think the school has an overall quite good reputation so it might be worth looking into it. And it's in sunny California, which is a definite plus

There was a second rejection posted today and dated as of today (are the adcoms really working on a Saturday?). Anyway, this demonstrates activity in the department and we might hear sooner than I expected...

Sorry to hear that. Hang in there, I am sure positive news will come, your profile looks quite strong. (BTW, are you the one who posted the rejection?)

It does seem to be very rushed and not quite right to impose this upon you. The rule of thumb is the April 15th deadline though that is primarily for PhDs. However, giving you barely 10 days to make up your mind is a bit odd. I would try to have the deadline postponed, after all they cannot take the offer back from you so there isn't much to lose with trying.
