Or any information about the email you received? Curious to know if Princeton sends admissions all at once or one at a time.
Guarantee they don't send them all at once, but I would love more information about the email as well!

Does anyone want to claim the Princeton decision? Princeton is my top choice and I have all sorts of emotions about it
-
Anyone have any fiction suggestions? I need to get away and also crave some intrigue/drama.

Hi. Sorry, I mean pharmacology, but I did realize that you are applying to sociology program. I am being super panic now..so I am searching for any information about the schools I applied.
Oh I see and I totally understand, well if you got accepted to the open house that's a great sign! I'm sure they'll release decisions about admits shortly after. If you got an email for the open house that generally means you're on the shortlist.

also, congrats @KevinJHa!
At least you got an invite! Can't wait to hear what happens. As for me, I'm just waiting for the rejections so that I can get off grad cafe and not come back again for the next application cycle. It seems staying off these forums is a good luck charm of getting in! HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Thanks so much @pinoysoc <3 I appreciate your support.
Hey don't give up just yet, you only heard back from one school no? I'm seriously rooting for you still!

Hi Kevin. I got the invitation to open house too, but it is on March 10. Do you know if this is important for application? BTW, I applied to the pharmacology program, yet I haven't heard anything from the gradoffice since my application completed.
Hey sorry Im a little confused -- for the March 10 invitation is it for a sociology program or pharmacology?
I don't think visiting is necessary important for the application, but it gives you an opportunity to make a good impression on the faculty. I was told that there were going to offer 8-12 admits but around 16 people are attending my open house. So im kind of imagining a hunger games type situation haha.

It's counter-intuitive, but the number one mistake I've made when talking to professors from programs I've been accepted to is getting too detail-oriented. I want to know the specifics of each program of course, but my best experiences have been just having a conversation without as many pointed questions. These conversations often end up answering my questions anyway, and in going in a roundabout way give me more insight into the professors' philosophies and the overall vibe of the department.
The advice I'm trying to give myself is that I've already been accepted multiple places and to just relax and have a normal conversation.
That's very helpful thank you.

Is anybody going to the Northeastern open house on February 11th? Would be cool to see some gradcafers there

Sorry to be so negative, but I''ve basically given up at this point (I've heard nothing from Irvine, assumed rejection from UT and apparently CUNY is only fully funding 8 people this year) and 3/4 of the schools that are left are higher ranked than all of those that I've named, which means I don't stand a chance. The only school that's left is UCSD, but I feel like they're selective despite being lower ranked than the rest, so I doubt I'll get in there either.
It's okay to be negative, theres no need to fake anything you dont feel. All I can say is you wont actually know until you see it in writing and its official, plus theres still months left before all decisions are made.
Either way im starting to feel very discouraged too and it really, really sucks. I used to be so confident i could get in somewhere, now I feel so unsure.

You have no idea! I was already happy just receiving the first acceptance since it meant I was officially going to grad school even if I got rejected from the other programs. Then the other two acceptances came in and I just went bananas. I'm really trying to weigh my options while keeping in mind fit, funding, and other things. I want to give myself time to think while respecting the time of the universities and the other applicants.
Im happy for you
youre in most of our dream positions hahaha.
"Going bananas" would be my reaction as well.

Congrats!!
I found out today too that I was accepted to U of Iowa with five years of funding.
Last week and today have been nuts for me as I found out that I was accepted to UNM, Rutgers, and U of Iowa. All of them with funding packages. I honestly can't believe it and I'm wondering whether I'm dreaming.
I'm really really hoping everyone else gets accepted somewhere because I want you guys to be able to experience the way that I am feeling right now: happy, relieved and just grateful all around. We're still in January and February is on the way! Hang in there everyone!
JESUS you must be having the time of your life HAHAHA. If I got those acceptances all with funding I wouldn't know what to do.

Rejection from Duke and waitlisted for Iowa. I feel disappointed that I didn't get an offer from Iowa, as this is my undergraduate institution and I earned a 4.02 GPA, spoke at commencement, work at campus research centers, and am highly involved in the Iowa City community. Trying to not take it personally, but I'm kind of freaking out now because Iowa was the lowest ranked school I applied to. So to not get accepted here makes me really scared to my chances at other schools.
I would try not to worry about a waitlist from Iowa. Typically programs don't want you to pursue a graduate degree from the same institution as this hurts you on the job market and the academic job market. They may have reached the decision to waitlist you based on this rather than your credentials.
I'm sorry to hear this though =[ Hope you have better luck soon.

A CUNY interview update. They can only fully fund 8 students and accept 7 more with a tuition waiver. I was asked if I’d be willing attend without a fellowship. I don’t think I can do that. I hope they give my spot to someone soon.
I'm sorry to hear that. The tuition-only fellowship is so terrible and I don't understand how they can expect people to fund their own Ph.Ds.
I'm desperately waiting for a CUNY decision, hopefully with a fellowship. 8 students is nothing...
Who did you meet with? Did they tell you more about when these decisions are expected to be released?

So in the spirit of procrastination and checking gradcafe/email every 15 minutes for admissions decisions, I think a story thread would be cool!
Ill start -- lets see if this gains traction.

"I can't believe it, its happening again", Sylvia lamented
She had a look of fear in her eyes he'd vaguely remembered but learned to forget. His knees started to shake and beads of sweat began to waterfall from his brow.
'Were going to have to run.' he thought, 'Again.'
