Agreed. Have you tried calling the office? Let them know that you have a deadline to another school, but are hoping to hear from them beforehand. Maybe they can speed up the process for you. Or call the other school and ask for an extension?
Fingers crossed! I poked around in some earlier (2011) forums that had students waiting until early April, all of which got accepted. So hopefully history repeats itself with acceptances! Good luck!
I applied on the 15th as well and I'm still waiting. They told me I would be hearing in the next week, but it's difficult with finals being this week and spring break is next for them.
Wow! Congratulations! My app was fully in with recommendations and all on the 20th of January, so fingers crossed I'll hear soon then. Did you hear via email or mail?
