Hey all, just discovered this page! Congrats to all with good news! I received informal acceptance to UCSC on 2/5, though no word yet on what kind of funding will be available. I'm also waitlisted at UCSB (notified 2/5) and UCLA (notified 2/3).
Has anyone heard from Univeristy of Washington? I had a skype interview with them last Friday. They said they'd be accepting 2 out of the 10 students they interviewed (ouch).

I just received admission to USC on 2/14! I've heard nothing about the department being dissolved. They've offered me a strong funding package, so it seems the program is going strong. Also, received my rejection from Rutgers on 2/7.
