I just got off the WL at Notre Dame, will decline BU very soon. It is so difficult for me, because BU is a such a wonderful place with passionate people. I wish you guys all the best!

Congrats on getting into ND!!

Just accepted an offer from Michigan Ann-Arbor. Declined Cornell wait list and UC-Boulder (fellowship). Really happy (and still a little shocked) to be in at Michigan, but declining Boulder was kind of crushing: everyone there has been so kind and helpful and it seemed like a great program, too.

Ann Arbor just offered me a spot off their waitlist, which I have declined. So if you're still on their list - they may be getting in touch with you soon!
Has anybody heard from them after this - and is anyone with an offer from Michigan planning on declining?

Accepting Stanford's offer now. I can't believe this entire process is over. It's been one hell of a ride.
Congratulations!! Good luck at Stanford :-)

I presumed a rejection from Stanford. But since I haven't received a notification yet, I'm wondering if they are still sending out rejections. Any thoughts or information about this?
I solicited last Friday and a got a prompt response - the committee is "still working on" official letters, but if you haven't heard from them you were not admitted or wait listed.
-
Does anyone know why Stanford still hasn't sent out official rejections?

Cornell don't rank their wait list, so I would guess that it's based on AOI. They have six places but make more than 6 initial offers, because they expect some rejections. The number of extra offers is based on trends from previous years. So they expect to make 0 offers to people on the wait list. However, last year they made at least 2 offers to people on the wait list. Unfortunately, that might mean they sent out more initial offers this year.
Cornell is my first choice, but I am on the wait list. Alas.
Ah, I see.. That's not good news, but it's very informative - thanks! Best of luck!
-
Does anybody happen to know how Cornell operates its waitlist and approximately how many students are on it? Is it ranked or AOI-based? Trying to figure out how realistic/unrealistic an offer of admission is..

Though I understand your dilemma, I want to agree with what has been said about visits - don't go if you're already certain you will not accept the offer. In response to your other question, though: this depends somewhat on the kind of housing you're looking for (studio apt., family housing, etc.) and the school you are planning on attending. It is always better to hand in a housing application earlier rather than later - this will give you an edge over all the applications that will be submitted directly before April 15th. This matters even more at schools/in buildings where you must compete with undergraduates as well as graduates. Additionally, if you're really eager to get in to one particular housing building, I recommend choosing a relatively early "move-in date:" I've been told that this, too, gives your chances a boost because the vast majority of students are looking to move in during August.

Yes, I can claim one of them. My interests are metaethics, philosophy of language, and to a lesser extent, epistemology. I have no idea if I'll accept or not. I have a tough choice to make between them, Yale, and USC. I'll have a better idea after I visit at the end of March.
Thanks for posting - and congrats on what looks to be an amazing cycle! I'll be visiting as well so I'm sure I'll see you then
-
Can anyone claim the other Michigan offers? I've seen only one claimed in here, I think. If you're out there, I'd be interested to know what your interests are/whether you plan on accepting!

Was just wait listed at Cornell! I had presumed a rejection long ago, so that was a nice surprise. Tad Brennan was vague about where I was on the wait list, though, so most likely nothing will come of it. Still nice to make it this far, though.
Me too
Congrats!!
-
Waitlisted at Cornell too!
Had already resigned myself to a rejection. Turning out to be a good day today!
-
Wait listed at Michigan! Really hope this will turn into an offer. So surprised after all these rejections

Just now, brush said:
Yea I got the standard rejection email 3 hours ago
Thanks.. Still waiting on mine. Wish they'd just send these things all at once and get it over with!
-
@brush @philosophe have you guys heard anything from Mich yet?

Just declined GSU's MA program, hope it helps someone.

Has anybody solicited rejection from Cornell? I was invited for an interview with the law school and will probably just withdraw that application, but wanted to be certain there's no purgatory/waitlist-for-waitlist deal at Cornell.
-
Just now, AmandaEvans said:
Stanford needs to just reject me already so I can focus on what I have and stop unjustifiably hoping....
Same... Though: I'd rather they just accept me
-
You guys think we can expect anything more from Stanford? Not sure if the post today was another ancient, anybody want to claim it?
-
Did all you lucky Princeton admits (congrats!!) receive a generic message or some kind of personalized e-mail? I assume there's no reason not to send all the e-mails out at once, but am surprised at the lack of posts (only 4 compared to 10-12 in previous years).
