I emailed UC Irvine admission office last week asking about their decisions. The DGS told me that it is not clear at this point if there will be subsequent offers made or when that might occur. I think for all of us not having received UC Irvine decisions, there may still be chances (or just silent rejections in the end).

I genuinely never meant to upset anyone and I sincerely apologize that I did. 
For what it's worth, I'm not having a quarter-life crisis because I "don't know if I should go to Harvard or XYZ". Rather, I am honestly feeling a lot of sadness and anxiety in trying to navigate what the most feasible option is for myself as a mother with two children. I am finding that the institutional supports for low-income student parents at many of these institutions is simply non-existant. It's not like I'm expecting luxury, but things like having an institution willing to cover my children's healthcare for less than 6k a year would be cool...Maybe subsidies to help with the $2600/month childcare tuition...
All of this has really got me thinking a lot about how low-income and self-supported mothers and WoC are undervalued and are not seen as a priority to support in virtually every sect of society...even at these "world-class" institutions...It has me thinking about how resources are allocated within universities...and how in their choice to not invest in support policies and programs for disenfranchised students, institutions are able to silently weed out the "undeserving",  effectively reproducing their privilege. 
I'm sure that some will read this and think OH BOO-HOO and not understand, but it's a pretty upsetting process to have all of these doors slapping me in the face after what for most would seem to be a done deal. I was just hoping to find someone who is also experiencing worry or disappointment to talk with. Although we are strangers I have really come to value and appreciate all of you and would never intentionally want to hurt anyone.

It's been straight up radio silence from Columbia, Princeton, NYU, and Penn for me.
 
I called Columbia a few days ago (I was admitted to Berkeley GSE and the only program I would probably choose over them is Columbia Sociology) and the person said "not all decisions have been sent out yet" which is annoying language bc obviously I know that....I haven't heard my decision....but like if all acceptances have been sent out, then why lead me on???

While we are at it can we do our best to stop using the results board as a chat room 

UCSD's sociology department sent me an email on Feb 8th stating that the department and the committee recommended me for admission pending approval from the graduate dean. The next morning, I got an email from the dean's office finalizing my admission. The department also told me that funding details would be sent to me by Feb 15th. I hope this info is useful! Best of luck!

Thanks for the heads up! 

I think they have sent all admissions. I also applied and learned by emailing to grad coordinator that I was rejected. And still no change in my status.

That's so awesome!!! I really considered applying there. I feel like UCSD flies under the radar a bit but will probably be more up-and-coming in the years to come. Congratulations!
