Claiming Stanford GSB :). This program isn't talked about much on this forum but just in case this is of interest to someone.

Based on past results, can we safely assume that Stanford results won't come out until Wednesday or Thursday?
I suspect Stanford will come later this week.

Does anyone know when Berkeley sends fellowship information or what the stipend amount is?
-
I have a question about Columbia's funding: is the summer stipend amount per summer for 5 years? (or total for 5 years?) that wasn't clear to me, although I think it's per summer. (Dean's Fellowship, which I think they offer to everyone.)

Oh jesus, here comes Duke.
I'm curious why you would consider Duke over Princeton?

She did for others (albeit late for two, but not this late), so I think that is what happened. I e-mailed her as diplomatically as I could muster (I even suppressed the urge to sign off with "regards" instead of "best," i.e. the pinnacle of British passive aggressiveness) and sent the thing, so I suppose that's all I can do now? If she does submit it tomorrow--and I will show up at her office if she doesn't by the end of the day here, midday in the US, so I can almost guarantee she will--is there a shot it will still be read?
There's no way to know if it will be read. Nonetheless you should be sure to also send a reminder through the portal so the web link to submit is at the top of her inbox and she doesn't have to go searching for it. It's okay, these things happen and it's best to remain calm and do what you can to control it while not fixating on what you can't.

Are you applying to several schools and has she submitted references to other ones? If so, it is likely that this one slipped her radar. I would suggest that you use the application portal to send her a reminder and then follow up with a calm email asking that she please submit. It is possible you still have a shot. If I were you I would not jeopardize my relationship with my referee by freaking out, especially if she submitted to other schools and somehow just missed this one.

Anyone know when Stanford and MIt release decisions?

Also claiming Berkeley admit! Hang in there everyone, good news will arrive. Good luck!
-
It should be safe to assume that sending thirty emails doesn't take this long. Congratulations to all those who heard good news today! Good luck to all for the coming days.
-
Sigh. I hate waiting. How long do admissions committees take to make decisions? Is the primary challenge just trying to get everyone in the same room? Does that even happen anymore? I know these questions are futile but I can't help but ask them anyway.
-
Also waiting on Stanford, Princeton, Berkeley, NYU next week, though I think only the last two are likely to come by then.

I got an email from OSU that the ad comm recommended me for admission but I need to send an affidavit of support and bank statement before my admission is finalized. Is this a typical letter for international students or does it mean that I can't get funding? Any info will be greatly appreciated!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it seems this is an indication that they can't provide funding.

Hi, folks. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Not sure how helpful this is, but I know that the Berkeley admissions committee is meeting in the middle of next week. Whether they will send out some acceptance notifications before then or not, I'm not sure – but I think we can interpret the mid-week meeting as an indication that at least some decisions won't be made until that point. Best of luck to everyone! (And damn those Stanford trolls from last week – they really got my nerves up!)
How do people get this type of info? Also, congrats to all who've heard positive news thus far!
-
I thought someone had insider info of Berkeley coming fairly soon? Also Princeton.

Yup, Harvard posts look like trolls.
Does anyone have any news from Berkeley? I was (unofficially) told that we would probably hear back during a one-week window starting today.
Also, congrats to everyone who's been admitted / wait-listed so far, and best of luck to all
I was under the impression they'd release decisions in mid-Feb?
Welcome to the 2016-17 cycle!

I'm also planning to decline Columbia's offer within the next few days, so hopefully someone on the waitlist will get off!
