  1. That is somewhat odd to send out them out individually. I wonder if the DGS doesn't yet know about BCC. :D

    Any IR admits to Columbia?

    and if they are sending them out individually, would the acceptees mind sharing the first letter of their last names for those of us who are frantically waiting?

  2. Hi everyone, first time poster here... I emailed the department at Princeton asking whether all successful applicants had already been notified and they answered that the Grad School began sending out letters to all applicants yesterday. It seems that this year rejections and probably waitlists are coming by mail...

    What a horrendous waste of paper. All decisions should really be sent electronically.

  3. This admissions game has been far more emotionally trying that I had imagined. I think I went into this process with a really healthy attitude - I only applied to schools I'd be happy at, and recognized that I needed one, just one acceptance - if the rest were rejections, it didn't matter. On top of it, I have a really solid back-up "life plan" that, while not my first choice, I'd be perfectly happy with.

    It really is the waiting period that has started to degrade my mental health - I've got one rejection (no biggie) and at least one other assumed rejection - these are not the problem, its the silence that is the problem. If I'm not going to be going into a PhD program this coming fall, I just want to know so I can start making other plans and get on with my life.

    OK, end rant. I will not post like this again.

  4. I know for a fact that, at least as of the end of January, the Gtown admissions committee was not expecting to meet until the end of February, so don't expect decisions until the first week of March.

    I stand corrected. Here's to hoping that Columbia, Princeton and Harvard come through for us this week...

  5. After three rejections, I won't bother getting excited for Columbia. :) Will be a calm week for me. Unless we are expecting Georgetown this week too...? Or do you guys think it'll be the following week?

    I think Gtown notified around Feb 20th last year, so its possible acceptances will be sent out this week...
