Dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives.

So this is it, it's all been leading to this.

Some brave soul should call and ask when.....I read in one of the older forums that they gave a pretty specific answer "next two days" or something of the sort. I will not be that brave soul, but I assume you will earn infinite GradCafe street cred if you do.

Fun isn't something one considers when waiting for a GRFP announcement. But this....does put a smile on my face.

No problem. So you're suspecting this coming week as well?

Based on me skimming through the last few years worth of forums. Seems to be that the maintenance alert we are on the lookout for typically goes up the day before results are released (Monday if results are posted Tuesday). This alert could be posted as last as 9pm on the day before announcements. It is usually a maintenance alert that lists the end time at being 3am or 5am. Additionally, I would say that we are in the home stretch given last year's awards and honorable mentions are no longer listed. That list tends to go down a week or two before announcements.

Yeah, that is the feeling I got as well. I'm just confused as to whether or not that means we are accepted. Does this go into my acceptance column? I'm definitely still interested in Vanderbilt, but I am leaning towards Duke. I'd like to hear what Vanderbilt has to say though before I make any decisions.

Did anybody who received word from to Vanderbilt find the acceptance email a bit odd? Also, did anybody get an acceptance email without receiving an interview? My email said something along the lines of I'm on a short list of admits and they would appreciate if I told them if I was still interested in Vanderbilt or my interests were elsewhere. It said positive things about my application, but seemed really unclear. No funding info or anything. Anybody receive similar?

I think the same thing happens at Duke, but it is internet based.

congrats to all Michigan admits! I'm waitlisted and wondering if anybody accepted would be willing to share funding details in a private message? I'm just curious what their stipend looks like, and whether I should worry about the waitlisted given I've been admitted with fairly good funding elsewhere.

Got waitlisted for Michigan...very nice email. Makes it seem like the waitlist is short. Anybody who got accepted have info on funding yet?

Any Duke admits get any info on the admit week yet?

Emailed the graduate program coordinator for Michigan. Says decisions should be out by next Monday.

Yes! Got the email to check and it had a view decision option!

DUKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I'M IN!
