Not sure why such a substantial proportion of my schools have given decisions to other applicants and no news for me (Duke, NYU, Notre Dame, UCLA). Kind of odd.
Yeah I'm in the same boat at all these places too. Have people seen rejections from these places at all? I don't recall seeing anything.

And now we've seen Northwestern acceptances and rejections, yet I've still heard nothing from them.
Can anyone talk about the NU rejection? Is it posted on the Admission Tracking System?
Not a rejection, but I'm accepted, and I got an email about the change of status on the website (and it is changed there). Not sure if that helps :/
-
any status update on the application portal?
nope no update on there. still says "An admissions decision has not yet been rendered."

Nope, the slaughter continues.
It's good news for me; I am Quant/Americanist. Can you give us some details on your admit? Any special fellowships? Was it a blast email? Sorry if that's invasive...we're starved for information on this board...and I haven't heard anything from anyone.
"And if ya want beef, than bring the ruckus, Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothin' to f**k with."
Nope not invasive at all. I should have clarified. I'm just as starved for info
The email seemed to be a canned response with my name at the top, but there was a pdf admissions letter that seemed more personalized. I got the standard full package Fellowship that a lot of the universities give out as far as I understand--Full University Fellowship for the first year, three 9-month Teaching Assistantships (2nd, 3rd, 4th yr), a 9-month University Fellowship (5th yr), and funding for research in the summer months. I think that's fairly standard.There also was a note about a hard deadline for making travel arrangements by Feb 5 for the visiting weekend at the end of February. That probably means all the admissions decisions will have had to come out by then.

Anyone know when Texas-Austin usually notifies? Their application deadline was way back on Dec. 1
I have a good source that told me that the final admissions committee met on Monday. So final decisions were possibly made, but there could still be ongoing deliberations. I was told that it could take a week or more after the decision is made to get the emails out.

Ya Berkeley hurts... was a great fit as well (I could have seen myself happily working with at least 4 or 5 different profs). But hey, its an amazing program and I'm sure they got a LOT of strong applications.
For people claiming Northwestern admits, could you tell us what subfield you're in? Really hoping they aren't done yet.
Northwestern admit: I'm in Comparative. Hopefully that is good news for you and not bad!

I'll be visiting UT-Austin as well. I'll be sure to maintain my anonymity and wear a name tag with my actual name on it...
