I only recently started checking my spam box. It only keeps mail for 10 days. Unnerving, indeed. Also, I haven't been looking for subjects like "congratulations!" at all. I guess I should scrutinize my spam a little more. I got a snail mail rejection today. I'd have rather known a week ago. Still, nothing but silence on 8 applications. I politely contacted a couple of them. They both said the same thing, that they are trying to get all decisions out by March 15. I expect us to all get flooded with notices by next week. 4 programs have web app status sites. All four show no decision yet. I'm trying to stay calm. It ain't easy, baby!

Indeed. As I noted, Davis told me they are still working on decisions, trying to get them all out by the 15th. Another on this forum received an offer in early February. Clearly, they have a different system than most. If you have not received notice, you have not been rejected.

That's what I keep hoping. I got my rejection from UCLA, my #1 choice, so quickly, it hurt. But since that tree was topped, I have been able to muster through the rejections with much less pain.

We need to start a separate thread for spouses. My wife is more stressed out than I am. In case anyone else is still waiting, I contacted Harvard and UC Davis. Both say they should have all offers out by Mar 15. Harvard will be by snail mail.

So much silence out there. I'm glad I found this place to see that offers are coming in waves. Strange, yet comforting. Good luck to us all.
