He's actively engaged in the admissions committee/the admissions process. Hardly on sabbatical. Oh, well... who knows?!

OH, also: I received the email last night.

Oh, I didn't mean to be at all accusatory! I don't think the professor is out of the loop, but perhaps he just doesn't want to be the bearer of bad news (?) Ha! In any event, congratulations to the admits. The bureaucracy at these schools is pretty shocking (as evidenced by the bizarre admissions processes). In any event, the email IS pretty cold if final admissions decisions have been made!

I received the same email, and heard from a prof. that there's no way decisions have been made yet. he's positive, as he does not even know yet. To those of you who were accepted: was it a formal acceptance? This is terribly confusing...
