Hi all - thanks for the thoughts! I'm moving with my husband and since we used to live in the city we're hoping to move back to and it's notoriously hard to get affordable rents in a good location I would love to lock down an apartment soon. There are already lots of apartments coming out for september 1st and August 15th move in dates, so the idea is that we'd fly up to look at something and lock down a lease for September, but we're waiting to finalize decisions about my program to know what neighborhood we want to live in. That's why I feel a bit antsy. But, again, that really has nothing to do with the programs, so I'll be waiting to hear back on programs and not checking in. Hopefully I'll hear either way soon!

Hey all, this makes sense. I was leaning towards not contacting them and waiting it out. I'm relocating, so the sooner I know and decide the sooner I can find housing but that's not their problem. Will just continue to wait it out!

Hi all -- I applied to four PhD programs between December and January 15th. I just heard back from one that I got in with full funding (!). Just wondering if at this point I should wait it out through February to hear from the other programs, or if it's appropriate to send an email and say politely, "I've been admitted to another PhD program but am still very interested in your program. What is the timeline for your decisions?" I would be especially interested in hearing back from my top choice, where my app is in committee review. Hmmmm. What do you all think? It's too early to check in, right?
