Admitted to UC Berkeley, my very top choice!
The rest don't really matter to me.
Congrats! Berkeley and UCLA are both at the top for me. Still waiting on a UCLA decision though

There was a blizzard in parts of the northeast. It hit Boston hard, so that will probably delay the BU, Harvard, etc. responses.
-
More UCLA rejections. Maybe there is a waitlist! (look at me, being all optimistic and whatnot!)

Hey all. UCLA grad here. We've been receiving emails about hosting students to the degree that it wouldn't make sense to keep on admitting more students into the program. So, I think it is safe to say that all those who have been admitted, have been.
Yea that's what I figured. Just wish they wouldn't do these weird rejection waves it seems they do.

^ahh I see. When I did it, nothing happened. Nothing to my spam folder or anything. I suppose I can try again once I'm no longer on my cell phone. Thanks for the advice!!

Still reluctant to accept the no news is good news strategy on UCLA as someone said they've already accepted 31 people. Unless we are part of that 31 and they just mistyped our email addresses, I think we might be out of luck. There are so many of us without notifications and so few actual rejections on the board.
On checking the app status, I think it's done at a different portal (thus not the application portal). Googling UCLA grad app brings you to a different portal that allows you to check your status. It asks for a particular password that must not be the same one you used to apply with as mine doesn't work for that portal nor does requesting a new password.
UCLA's acceptances/rejections "waves" and Boston's blizzard are the only things standing between me and my decision!

I wonder what's up with UCLA. Didn't get an acceptance notification last month nor a rejection today. It, along with Harvard, is my top choice, so any info would be great!

If somebody wants to help out with an idea of how many they typically admit for a cohort size of ~15, we could maybe figure this out. My UCLA visit days email invite had 31 prospectives as recipients. At Chicago I think they admitted ~28 or so, expecting about half of them to matriculate.
If they invited 31 to this year's prospective event, I'd be willing to bet that's it for admits then. UCLA seems to notify rejects later and it'll just be a matter of the graduate school getting around to rejecting folks. Now, time for my hourly, let's-hurry-it-up-Harvard-so-I-can-make-my-decision post.

Ugh, come on Harvard. Let's hear back already

It's Friday. Let's all hope today is a big day for news. Don't want to sit through another weekend without any!

I really hope Wisconsin sends news soon.

UCSB is the place to go for gender if these are your two choices. Unfortunately, getting off the waitlist there will be next to impossible. There's nothing you can really say to the department to increase your odds. It'll just be a matter of whether or not x people decline their offers. A while back I was waitlisted there and expressed that it was my top choice to both the DGS and my POI (not for gender, but nonetheless). The response they gave me was pretty much, "meh." I ended up taking some time off then reapplying then going elsewhere.
