Received my Michigan and Stanford rejections today, which means that I have officially heard back from every program to which I applied! I'm done! I never thought it would feel good to receive back-to-back rejections, but now that I have received all my official decisions I can finally focus on making my own decision. While I didn't get into my top choices, I met (and exceeded) my own goal for this cycle: to receive a fully funded offer from one of the programs to which I had applied. Thanks to all of you wonderful posters for the congratulations/commiseration throughout this tumultuous process - none of my friends or acquaintances are applying to grad school this cycle, and thus gradcafe has been a welcome outlet for admissions anxiety/elation.
I will definitely be sticking around while everybody else receives their final decisions, and anybody with questions about living in Ann Arbor/Philadelphia/D.C. should feel free to DM me. I think I'll also take the liberty of starting the wrap-up thread, and (again) I encourage everybody to post as much of your profile and results as you're comfortable sharing.

I've RSVP'd for Berkeley, Princeton, and Columbia. Princeton and Columbia are on the same week luckily so I'll just stay an extra day in NYC, and then my super late Spring Break will start. Those are the only ones unless I miraculously get into Yale or Harvard. Luckily I'm only in two real classes this semester so I won't miss too much.

Morning GC! A few updates / thoughts that might be helpful:
1. Harvard: My sources () tell me that we can expect to hear back during the last two days of February. Anything before then is likely trolls / not the Gov Dept. 
2. Stanford: A department administrator has now been in touch regarding $$ and visiting days, so I think that it's safe to say now that all the offers are out. 
3. MIT: Congrats @zapatos! I hope some offers will continue to trickle out today... 
And while I'm taking up space: any intel on Yale would be much appreciated! 

Claiming one of the acceptances! No shenanigans this time

First of all, congratulations to everyone accepted these last two weeks! I haven't been posting lately and I.was kind of avoiding coming here because I felt somewhat sad for the negative feedback I got for this cycle (though I expected it since I'd done everything in a rush, it still made me feel bad haha). I was accepted to NYU's MA and I am seriously considering it, since it's my only offer. (There is still one result to come in, but acceptances are out and it was a reaaaaally long shot, anyway, so I'm not counting on it). Even with this bittersweet ending to my cycle, I'd like to thank you all for the support and incentive you provided. To those of you still waiting, I hope you get good news soon XD
Now I have a lot of thinking, talking and deciding to do haha.

Claiming a Stanford admit! 
E-mail from POI came about 2 hours ago. I am currently outside the US, so no phone call. 

I just got the Stanford phone call! Having difficulty processing this.

Thank you!!!! Hope some phone calls come your way too! I'm processing this the only way know, by blasting Beyonce and calling my mom screaming.

I'm with both of you. After a day of email refreshing, my F5 button needs to rest and I need to actually work for my class. So, good night F5 button, rest so that I can hit you tomorrow, hopefully with better results than today. (or results at all would be nice).

Last year Michigan, Columbia, and Stanford starting releasing on Wednesday February 10th, so tomorrow could be a flurry as well.

Claiming one of the U Chicago acceptances!

RE: Columbia posts

Oh, yikes. 
Here are two things that make me optimistic though:
It seems that in previous years decisions have trickled out. So hopefully this year is similar, especially because this is a bit early for them and so having *all* decisions ready to go out now would be quite a change from previous cycles! The more decisions that appear in the results section *without* anyone claiming them here, the more I suspect trolls might be at work. It wouldn't be that unusual for 1-2 people who don't post / read the message boards to post in the results section, but it would be a bit of a surprise if that number goes up to 4-5...Does that make any sense?  At any rate: Good luck to us all! 
 

Seconding this congratulations! Yesterday was a whirlwind. Anyone have any predictions for schools that may come out by the end of the week?
