I feel you. Seeing acceptances go up on the results page, and not hearing from those schools at least gives me the opportunity to prepare for a rejection. But not hearing anything at all induces nail-biting axiety.
Many thanks. While I do try to follow the "no news is good news"-rule, I'll start to mentally prepare for crossing that one off the list.
Waiting sucks.
Has anyone heard from Penn about interviewing/accepting yet? I heard that Yale has finished their interview process, and already offered some candidates admission. Sounds to me like your conjecturing isn't implausible.
So I've got some insight into the program. What are your interests? What program did you apply to? The MA, or the PhD? Are you funded well? Do you have more appealing options at this point?
PM me, I'll PM back.
