Haven't been to any yet but extremely curious why so??

I didn't apply but I know my friend in Theory has gotten in. Maybe there's still a few they haven't sent out?

Anyone claiming the Yale admit??

Wish they would hurry up so that some waitlist positions might open up

Is it okay to directly ask professors about their placements? It is something that would be very important to me but it seems a bit... direct? The website for two of my schools doesn't specify the subfield of the placements or the dissertation committee/chair and for one of them my POI hasn't been at the university long enough to have info on placements out yet (< 5 yrs)

@oakeshott Thank you! Extremely helpful.

You were invited to the recruitment visits after being waitlisted?

Maybe too early to be worrying about this but does anyone have a rough template of what to say? In a case like this where you're backing out after actually having committed should you go into more detail? e.g. provide details of where you're going, why etc. Are there cases where the school being backed out from made things difficult?

If waitlist decisions come out in April and I need to respond to some of my offers before that... what do I do?

And another day begins...
