@jpbends Thanks for the update. I will stop checking grad cafe for the next one week and will concentrate on my work, at hand.

NYU is my reach school. So I am not really hoping to hear anything positive from them. Nevertheless, it would be to nice have a sense of resolution, considering that I have already been accepted to my second choice school. It feels strange not to know where I would spend the next 5-6 years of my life. Best of luck! I hope that both of us get through, although my chances of getting accepted are really low.

Who else thinks that NYU might let the results out this week?

@FreakyFoucaultI am terrible with these calculation of GRE scores and percentiles. However, ETS got rid of negative marking in the Subject GRE. It might have got something to do with that.

@FishNerd I am so happy for you guys. I know how incredibly difficult this could be. Glad that things worked out for you two.

@punctilious It would all be good news. Fingers crossed!

@punctilious I hope that he charges his phone and calls them back. One of my friends applied to Delaware this year. I will let you know, if she hears something about acceptances going out today. In the meanwhile, keep us posted. We are waiting!

I got accepted to Pittsburgh. YAYY!!

Just got wait listed at Minnesota and accepted at West Virginia ( with fellowship nomination). SO PLEASED!

@jpbends I think that you mentioned in the forum last week that NYU was still reviewing applications. Do you have any further updates ?

I have a feeling that contrary to what Pittsburgh did in the last two years(notifying on the first Saturday of February), they might not let the acceptances out by Monday. It is already 3:45 at Pittsburgh.

@FishNerd, The grad director told me on Wednesday that she was sending out a couple of acceptances that day, I am not sure if that means that all the acceptances are out, but probably they are. In the past, I have seen UMass sending out waitlist emails, in phases after they send out acceptance emails.They have accepted 10 people this year and I know five people, including myself who have already received an acceptance from UMass. Sorry that I could not be the bearer of good news. Here's hoping that both of you receive good news soon. All the best!

Although I do have an acceptance so far, I would love to hear back something positive from Pittsburgh. I hope that both of us get through. Fingers crossed!

I am wondering, if Pittsburgh would send out their acceptances tomorrow or will they keep us waiting till next week?

@clinamen This is turning out to be such an amazing application cycle for you. Congratulations!

There are also a couple of schools(Minnesota, Oregon etc) who charge a higher application fees from international applicants. This is ridiculous!

@clinamen Congratulations! on getting accepted to Minnesota. If you don't mind, may I know your subfield?
