I believe PSU sent most of their decisions in February... are you talking about Ohio State or Oregon State?
Yup, I've also heard that. So I'm taking PSU as a rejection by 99.9999 percent
And for the reference, I was talking of Ohio! Sorry for not being clear on that 
-
GaTech is insanely slow with the process... the POI isn't even looking at my letters now. Guess I'll just have to take that as a rejection. Penn State is also silent these days. Those two are basically the schools I'm still waiting with no response. If I don't hear back from them until this Friday, I guess I'll have to go with OSU.

I think they may have meant late March.
I haven’t received anything... but GaTech does have a history of sending out late rejections (late April) according to the thread, so I believe they might have said it correctly. It could be possible that our specific major of intent is different

I’m back to share my story for future ref.! I’ve got a full ride with TAship from the school. I’ve contacted with the Head of Dept. directly and kept contact. Keep up the hope anonymous-reader.

If in any case you do contact the department and if possible, could be please inform me of their response? I'm an international applicant, and roaming charges LOL. It would be a great help.
I've called GaTech's EAS admission office and they said that they've already sent out admission to <10% of the applicants this year. Which means that it's highly possible to receive a rejection if you haven't gotten a notification from the school already. The staff mentioned that rejections will most likely be sent out to applicants by late April.

@amayadoli Thanks! I guess I’ll have to talk with the faculty and attending students about this issue. Meanwhile, fingers crossed for a full ride!

Make way! Another short-listed person here. So much if’s... if funding comes through, if we get a position for you...!!
Wow already a week has passed since I've written that reply. Did anyone get some good news? I've contacted my POI about a week ago and am planning to send one more reminder today.

Hello, I've been accepted to OSU (Ohio) and am still waiting for funding to come through. The dean is really nice and trying his best to keep me updated on TA/RA decisions rolling out, but seems like this year was really competitive and not many are willing to give up their current ground. My POI did her best to get me admitted and funded, but guess my international degree (though I hold a citizenship) might have compensated such efforts in a negative way. I'm still in the pool waiting for funding, but can't stop to imagine the worst scenario. I have some schools wait listed... but... I think it might be a bit late in the competition to expect awesome news.
So, IF I end up with no funding, considering the large size of OSU, could I have some chance of getting funded after a semester or two? Has there been PhD students who received funding after they were enrolled? I'm curious if I have a chance. If there are any, please share your story of success!

Not dealing that well lol. I check applyweb and the results page embarrassingly often
Haha I disagree with you having to be embarrassed by that. I bet a lot of ppl are on the same boat :-D
-
Wow I'm getting nothing back from GaTech's department office haha. I'm seriously thinking of calling them for further information.
-
Ay.... Similar field of interest. I study marine geology. I'm sick and tired of talking to my friends about this issue... it feels like I'm verbally harassing them because I talk about it so much!
I don't know... maybe I'll call the admissions office to ask about when the decisions will be finalized... I... really have no idea *sobs*

Takes them forever to process admissions LOL
Hope good news finds you :-D

Interesting.
I chatted with my POI over a month ago after which he arranged bunch of things. After that things have been silent.
Hmmm have you been admitted to that program?

Purdue anyone....? Has the person that visited the Grad EXPO get accepted? Having a mental breakdown @_@

@Lucy22Hi! I’m planning to reach out to the POI next week since their school is going through spring break! I’ve never hated vacations so much in my life haha

"Thanks for the update! We're still working through grad admissions here. We have made a few admissions offers so far, but are waiting to see how funding works out for the remainder of our candidates. I was very impressed by your application and you are on my list of potential candidates. If funding does come through, I'd like to set up a Skype meeting with you. I'll be in touch soon."
is the POI just trying to be nice, or would it be a good sign.... :'(

Recieved contact from University of Washington Oceanography and Columbia that I am currently on the waitlist for both programs.
Currently 3 waitlists for 3 schools! Hopefully something works out!
For those who've got wait listed, is it an official letter or an email from POI???
Also looking for further life signals from Columbia/MIT/Brown/Purdue/Penn State/Georgia Tech.... XD
