Pretty sure they sent out all their offers. Email Hong, she was super helpful.
I've emailed her a couple times throughout this process, and still no response
edit: soon after I posted this, she responded saying we will hear back on Thursday (I'm guessing with rejections)

Anyone else still waiting to hear from JHU?

I actually just received an email from the prof I interviewed with that I've been recommended for admission and that I should be receiving an official offer soon. Right now, my application portal still says I've been rejected though.
Congratulations!!
that is so exciting.
I unfortunately have not an interview or much contact with a professor, so I am 99% sure it'll be a rejection. However I think it is strange I have not received that email yet.. hopefully I get my answer soon!

This gives me stupid hope that probably won't change anything...I visited Feb 24th but got rejected last week. too.
Have you guys heard anything different or final from Duke?

I agree with this. I think Duke, UCLA, JHU and BU have already sent out most of their invites (with funding) - unless maybe you are on a waiting list.
At this point, you could always email or call the program and ask nicely if a decision has been made on your application (or when to expect), especially if you already have other offers and are waiting.

During my last application season (2012) I applied to UPenn and to this day I have never been told I was rejected haha. I believe UCLA might have been the same. Kinda sucks that universities are happy to take your application fee but can't be bothered to let you know you weren't accepted.
So yeah, in short, don't hold out for the places you haven't heard a word from, assume rejection, and move on to your other options. Unless you have external funding like NSF, then go crazy telling all your applied to universities and I am sure they will have no problems changing their minds.
Thank you guys for the info. Yeah, I am assuming rejection as I have not been interviewed. @ghanada, gosh that is disappointing that they didn't even send a rejection!
In any case, I have contacted the program coordinators and have yet to hear a reply. I hope to hear the decision soon, even though it's probably a rejection. I did not get NSF, but still have hope for the other fellowships I applied for.

I need your thoughts to help alleviate my anxiety:
I have not heard back from either JHU or Duke (so not a rejection, interview, waitlist notice, or acceptance). Does this mean I am on some kind of informal waitlist? Or have they just not begun sending out rejections?
Anyone else in the same boat?

Has anyone had an acceptance or rejection from Johns Hopkins?
-
FYI everyone- I think Yale sent out their rejections today... my friend and I both received one.

Hello everyone!
Anyone aware of the timeline for Yale? I saw someone had a Skype interview... is the interview process still ongoing?

That happened to me at several schools! It might be that they know those labs aren't ones that you're interested in, but those faculty are on the admissions committee and want to interview students for that reason. It also could be that the other faculty you are interested in are traveling that weekend and they wanted to make sure you got three interviews. It could also be that those faculty liked your profile and requested you. In any case, I wouldn't straight-out say you aren't interested- skim their papers so you are prepared, and, if they ask you about your research interests, be honest without talking bad about their particular field.
I can only speak for JHU, but, unless you are international, I think we have sent all of the interview invites we are going to. (That's for PhD, the Masters program is completely separate.) I did get my Columbia interview quite late last year, I think it may have been later than this, so there's still plenty of hope for that one!
That is a bummer about JHU... they were my first choice of school. If all of the interview invites are sent out, when should those of us who didn't get an interview hear back about the status of our application? Since JHU only admits those they interview, should we assume JHU is not an option for us?

Long term lurker as well..
I know that JHU sent out a round of invites last Wednesday, but I haven't seen anything since. Any rejections, or anymore invites sent?
