For my top choice, I was told during the interview that everyone would find out one way or the other by mid March. They now just sent me an email saying that they were really impressed with me but they want to make sure the funding is available for me, and they will let me know by April 4th if there is a spot. Great. More waiting. I've checked and no one else that applied to this department has posted an acceptance.. So I don't know how many people they have offered a spot to yet. I've already been rejected from 2 schools, and it will be very frustrating to get rejected to my dream school after waiting this long. I had my interview the first week of january..
