I am. I visit on March 13-14. I have 2 more visits that week and then will be making decisions.

That'd be me. Got a message from the dude who runs it. Any particular questions you had in mind?

Not to be be negative, but I think Berkeley is done. I received an email yesterday addressed to "Dear Admits to UC Berkeley" and I would imagine they sent that out to all who accepted. Their cohorts are incredibly small. Last year they only accepted 6; this year might be similar or even smaller. It isn't crazy to expect a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio of grad cafe users to non grad cafe users.

Got a very nice wait list email from CUNY. Explained that they were interested in my app and that I was very high on the wait list. Said candidates got off it every year (so have hope those who got a similar email) and invited me to their open house in March.

I'm not exactly sure why you're accusing me of either trolling or spewing negativity. I merely said two (edit: three) things: 1) If you haven't heard a yes from Harvard by now, you aren't getting in. This has been told to me by a Harvard professor. They have already made all their calls. That sucks. For you and for me. But I genuinely thought you should all know. 2) I got my official acceptance from Berkeley. I mistakenly thought that they, like what seems to be the case normally, send out all their official acceptances at the same time. This does not appear to be the case and I apologize if I was misinformed. That being said, it makes no sense to say this is pure negativity. And with respect to trolling, you'll just have to trust me, but rest assured I have better things to do than to further stoke your fears or induce more stress than you—and I—are already under. I only posted what I thought would be helpful to this board. Edit: And 3) That Beate Fricke has moved to Bern. She was being mentioned as if she were still at Berkeley, which is reasonable because their website has yet to update. I just found this out yesterday and am upset about it because she looked very cool—even if I'm not a medievalist. Once again, I thought it pertinent to let people—who were discussing her whereabouts—know where exactly she is.

Beate Fricke has moved to Bern. Just so you all know.

Also letting you guys know that I officially heard from Berkeley. I'd known for a while (the one Berkeley acceptance was mine) but it looks like the emails have been sent.

I broke and called Harvard. The dude I talked to said that all acceptance calls have been made and rejections are forthcoming. I thought you all should know.
