I wore a tie to my first campus visit and took it off about 20 minutes into the day...

Anyone else visiting UT Austin next week?

Also comparative and trying to be hopeful. There is an acceptance for comparative up on the board already so I don't think they're holding back based off subfield...

I just saw one other person say this, but do many people still only have "submitted" as their status at Columbia? Still assuming reject though...

In my opinion, I'd wait to see what offers you get. In the case that an equivalently ranked program offers you a better funding package there's always the slight chance you can use that to negotiate a better offer from your first choice school. Might not be all too common, but always a useful possibility. Plus, seeing where you get in can be fun in and of itself as long as you decide early enough to help out those on the waitlist...

Looking at the results page it seems that UW-Seattle generally doesn't send out all admits on the same day. I for one am holding onto hope... Congrats to those already admitted; Seattle is a pretty amazing place.

I can't stop compulsively checking the status page for UT Austin... Still in review...

Ditto. Sad day.

Congrats to those already receiving acceptances. It's my first time applying, but I've been lurking for a few years in anticipation. Best of luck to everyone. The waiting is stifling!
