As a general statement Re: withdrawing from schools, I don't think it's fair to be pressuring others into doing so because of "others on the waitlist." People don't have a responsibility to those on the waitlist. Applications cost a lot of money, and people are entitled to a decision from the schools to which they applied. There are people on the waitlist every year, and others get accepted, and that's just how it is. Trying to guilt others into withdrawing applications on behalf of people they don't know is, well, selfish in my opinion.
Also, rushing into a decision is almost always the wrong way to go. Patience, as they say, is a virtue - it can't hurt to wait to see all your options laid out.
This process isn't easy, especially if you've been allowed the privilege to agonize on the waitlist for the next couple months. But people should be able to make their decisions without feeling guilty for not withdrawing.

Luka, you're making millions in the NBA, what do you need to go to UCI for?

Just got the email from Harvard FYI

I suspect this is true. Not sure why they called some people early. I'll post here when I get an email from them just to let you guys know

Just got the call from Cambridge. In at Harvard. Good luck to everybody! I'm done for the cycle!!!!!!

Interesting that it wasn't a POI... person must have been very interested in your work. Congratulations and farewell from this godforsaken website, may our paths cross again in Valhalla.

Since it's a telemarketer and they're now officially trolling you I think it's only fair that you should start ringing them up all hours of the day and try to sell them on your prospective dissertation. Gotta fund grad school somehow.

Well, I don't think you should give up yet. No one has posted on the survey

You'd think I've been around the internet enough to recognize that url from mousing over it but noooooo.

I would say probably business casual. Academia is not like industry, people don't expect a very high level of dress. For men that usually means a tie, button down, and khakis. For women, whatever the equivalent of that is (sorry for the vagueness, I have no experience dressing myself as a woman, LOL). Full suits are too much, I think, but it's probably (slightly) better to be overdressed than under if you're worried.

How can we get people to stop posting forum comments on the survey? There are sometimes 3 "results" that are just communications in between actual results the survey was meant for. It's making it harder for posterity to understand the results
