Thank you so much for letting us know! Mine says the same! I guess all this means is that it is open for professors from the Admissions Committee to decide whether to recommend us for admission to the Graduate School, correct? Admissions Committees are probably meeting during these weeks. Yet, all admisions are finalized by the Graduate School as I understand it. So even if we are recommended for admission, final word comes from them or from the program? Or is getting recommended by the program guarantee enough?

Very interesting thoughts from everyone. I also think that it takes somewhat being a 'child of the internet' to actually want to hang in these type of sites. I think most people are talking to their friends from university etc about their anxiety and not everyone feels that extra need to talk to other people on the internet about it too. I do. This wait is crazy. And for me, so much right now is hanging for me to get admitted into graduate school. These days feel really crazy with extra pressure. Sending good vibes to everyone out there <3

@meteora Nope. I used to be able to see the name of the program and all the documents I submitted with a checklist and they had all been marked as received by my program, which I called to confirm as well on the week of January 19th (the following week after I submitted my application). After that, no changes until now. When I click on the 'Grad Status App' all I see is: "Status temporarily unavailable" followed by some numbers, lots of 0s and stuff, like an error number of sorts. I have emailed two POI and they both got back to me saying they will put in a good word with the admissions committee and that they would love to have me, which I have taken as a good sign... but it's been some weeks now and UW-Madison is my first and only option for this cycle so I am just riddled with anxiety because I want it so bad. So all information is helpful! @Dibenzofulvene Congratulations! That's a great school!

@Dibenzofulvene @sk8er determinant @meteora Applying to UW-Madison as well but a different program (Gender and Women's Studies MA). Mine says "Status temporarily unavailable", and it has been that way since Saturday. It makes me wanna cry. I hope they work that out throughout this week. Please do keep posting any information you have!

Applying to the MA program at UW-Madison Anyone else?
