Hah, got my rejection only a minute after posting earlier. 12 more!

Just checked my app, and no change. Maybe it only updated for those who have already been accepted? Has anyone else seen an update?

I don't think so... I looked at the acceptance trends for the last few years (because what else are you gonna do, right?) and it seemed like most schools sent their acceptances and rejections out in at least two waves.

Invitee here with no masters. PM me if you want to talk more!

as far as I know, Stanford won't be sending anything out til mid/late Feb

@feelthebern16 I too have been checking my spam! so many emails that I never wanted to read (apparently I've been entered to win an extra-large fleshlight?) @therealdealpikkel some schools don't do interviews, but the ones that do will not admit you without one. Perhaps there are a few exceptions, but I think that's the general rule. PM me if you want specifics on schools you applied to and, regarding Michigan, they've contacted their shortlist candidates already, as far as I know.

@therealdealpikkel That's the worst feeling, I'm sorry. Maybe you could reach out to your POI there and let them know you're not able to make the conference but that you'd be happy to speak with them about your application? I've done similar things in the past and profs have generally been receptive, but that's just me. Good luck!!

19th c. Americanist here! Applied to 13 PhD programs, have one more to go and one MA app that I'm dreading (hooray procrastination!). Every time anyone asks me if I've heard back from schools yet it's all I can do not to start yelping incoherently before curling into a ball. Good luck, all you smart kids!
