Claiming the Yale acceptance. To those who are still awaiting responses, my sincere advice is to stop checking the results tab. I have come to the realization that this entire "notifications" process is so arbitrary (with some people hearing early and others later) that following results online can only lead to one possible outcome: more anxiety for you! Seriously, guys, been there, done that, and I'm so over it. I am making a vow to not look at the results page until I hear back from all the schools I applied to. Best of luck to everybody!!

Congrats! Did you find out this morning and was it via email from a professor? Thanks.

Thanks, I'm psyched about Minnesota! Best of luck everyone.

No worries -- sorry, I'm having a busy day. It was from a professor. Congrats to all the Berkeley and NYU acceptances! I haven't heard from them and so assume I didn't get in.

It was an acceptance.

AP, I claim Minnesota. I was told that I was nominated for another fellowship and maybe that's why I heard earlier. Best of luck to everyone!

Congrats, Oxon! Would you mind telling us your subfield?

Hey guys, just wanted to pop out and say hello and best of luck to everybody. I am applying in IR to a bunch of schools: NYU, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Yale, Chicago, Northwestern, Minnesota, Michigan, Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, along with a couple masters' programs in the UK. Top 3 LAC, pretty good grades, so-so gres, fair amount of research experience, focused SOP, etc. I know I don't really have safeties on my list, but if admissions don't work out, I'll take it as a sign that I'm better suited for something else. To whoever suggested vacationing as a way to divert your attentions, I can concur. I have been on a couple fun trips since I turned in my applications and it's a great way to get your mind off obsessing over results. That said, unfortunately, email access is near universal and I still haven't found a solution to the frequent and nervous email checks...

Hello! Where are you getting all these reports of acceptances from, if I may ask? Thanks.
