So Cornell sent out an email to their Physics PhD applicants at 9AM last Friday saying "All admissions decisions will go out over the course of the next week."
Well, it's been a week and from what I can gather, everyone has heard back EXCEPT anyone who applied for one particular research area. No admissions, no rejections. Just limbo. The lot of us are on the edge of our seats, posting on the results page to let each other know that we're not alone. Nobody knows what's going on. The radio silence is so much more nerve-wracking after getting the 1-week notice. I guess the business day isn't quite over so it's possible we will hear back tonight. Nevertheless, anxiety is at an all-time high.
