I've been advised to only visit serious contenders. If that happens to be all the programs that I've been accepted at, then fine, but I was told to not waste people's (especially to waste the money that could go toward another more serious applicant's travel). I definitely understand what your advisor probably means. Make connections. Visit departments that you may not realize are perfect for you. I think that's all in good spirit, but also don't visit the school if it's definitely not comparing to another program. These schools can get really screwed over if a lot of people visit and then decline offers and other applicants miss out on good opportunities. (I've seen it happen the last two years with students applying from my undergraduate institution. They had to wait till the last minute to know what was happening and schools were really freaking out at them.) If you're already well aware of all this and already turned down offers to the schools that aren't contending. I would guess the visitation dates for Columbia and Princeton would be early April. I'm not actually really basing this off of anything though except knowledge of when the visitation dates are of schools that have recently released. They're all in early April or late March. The other thing to consider is that you don't need to show up to their visitation weekends and can just show up any old time that is convenient for you. I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to just tell all these programs that you'll have everything confirmed by this weekend or early next week. I would also inform them on contingency plans. (e.g. If I get into Princeton, I will decline your offer. or No matter what happens next week, I will be visiting, but I may have to move some stuff around if....). The other thing you can do is plan everything except the last trip. (You wont have the return trip planned but you'll have the flight to the last place planned from the place before it. Then, just inform that school that you'll get back to them within the next week and a half.) Then, plan the last trip around Columbia and Princeton if they give you an offer. I hope this all wasn't completely obvious or was already considered. It's sometimes the obvious things we overlook (like how amazing it is that some of us have gotten into top programs!!!).

I think you're right. Possible they'll come out early the week after though.

Still very interested to hear who got the Riverside acceptance.

I'm hoping everything comes out this week.

Most likely that's what happened.

Okay great. Perfect. Hopefully, everything will have released by next week.

UT-Austin. Probably will come out Monday or Tuesday. (Maybe even this weekend, but in the last four years there haven't been any releases from them on the weekend.) UMass-Amherst. Unpredictable. Has come out on M10 in the past.

Nice. Congratulations!

Nat called MIT and they told her they weren't done and that they would finish tonight or tomorrow.

I've asked Nat to call CUNY

I know what you mean and I think a lot of us are feeling this. It's hard to be happy with what we have because there's something better (or simply something else) that is right around the corner. I know a lot of us are feeling that even with schools we would prefer less than some schools we're already in. I'm not exactly sure what the best advice here is. Look at what you have. Start researching those schools again and remind yourself of how amazing it is that you've gotten in. Get excited again about getting the chance to fly out. I missed a call from one of my schools and got a really sweet voicemail. I still have the voicemail saved and listen to it again when I start feeling greedy and anxious. Maybe this can help you stop stalking your phone because if you get that voice message you might be able to listen again and again at a POI or DGS saying they have good news to give you. Reread an email you got and get excited and dance around again and go buy yourself a steak or something and really celebrate the fact that you did it. I know that not all of this will work and that maybe none of it will, but try to find a way to get excited again for just a moment. Even posting again on TGC Acceptance forum and say, "guess what? I got into DUKE and WOOOOOODLOOOO!!!" People will be excited for you again and that'll feel good.

Congratulations. That's amazing. Definitely go celebrate.

So, I already got a response. My friend said that he doesn't know anything and really isn't in too much contact with anyone in the HPS program, but if he runs into the two people he does know he'll ask. He also mentioned that in the past they accept everyone at once. Hope this wasn't a completely useless response and I'll keep you updated if he tell me anything.

Gotten a request to contact Pitt about the HPS program. I'm asking my buddies but they probably wont know much. Maybe you could call?

Not at all. Though I do have two buddies over at Pitt. I'll ask them if they know anything.

I may have the wrong data but I have F23-2012, M9-2013, F7-2014, M5-2015.... This was data I got from Ian. I'm pretty sure 2014 isn't wrong, but if it is then yes it should be next week.

I'm hoping it means that they'll just continue sending out lots of acceptances.

So happy for you.

congratulations. I'm guessing this happened right now or earlier?

More like a week or two, but yeah. They seem to really spread out

CUNY sends out over a period of like a month.

Just an FYI, Brown rarely has a wait list according to the results page.

Yeah. I have no idea. Last year, Princeton had like 12 acceptances and people were really weirded out by that. It might just be that the people with offers are all on gradcafe and their system is still the same. Don't completely give up hope, but don't hold your breath.

I don't think they're done. They usually send out a bunch over a long period of time.

They usually spread acceptances and wait lists over a couple of days, but there have been a lot of posts about it. I don't know.
