OK not to beat a dead horse but omg I am honestly amazed @ Northwestern.. If they do the same thing as previous years where they just drag out the rejections for the entire month of February I'm going to... scream

Does anyone know something about Northwestern? My status is "submitted"

I am going to call them in a few hours... will update as soon as I speak to them.

No clue, just know of at least one Northwestern, Berkeley PhD in American admit.

Yes, thank you. I am ecstatic. It was really my top choice and the best ever fit possible. I am very happy. 

I got in Boston University

I know they're closed because of the weather, but I can't believe we haven't heard anything from Northwestern, still... Driving me crazy!

Me too! I thought about emailing them to ask if all acceptances are out, but then remembered they're closed.
Does anyone KNOW if all the acceptances have gone out? Last year there waaasss a big gap between the first acceptances and the rejections, but it did seem like more acceptances had been posted by that time, and they didn't all come out in one day. 

I'm hoping Duke might come out soon — they released decisions on Jan 30th last year (a Tuesday), but that may have been an anomaly as they usually release the first week of Feb (from what the results page looks like). Ughhhh I'm just refreshing my email all day !!!

Yeah me too!! It feels like right now there are a lot of great programs where it wouldn't be surprising to hear back from them at any moment (Duke; UC- LA/SD/Davis) but it also seems possible that we might not hear anything for a week or more. It's nerve-racking!

Accepted at UT-Austin. IR subfield.

I don't have applications in to any of these schools, but it's SO nice to hear so many acceptances rolling in! Congrats to you all!!!!!!!!

In at Princeton!!!  I’m completely shocked, still can’t believe it.  CP/IR. 

Also claim the Princeton acceptance!
IR/CP field.
Just received the email. More than thrilled!

Yes, thanks you! I am still in shock!!! 
American/methods 

No, I haven't. I'll let you know if there is anything new.

Definitely ~not~ thinking about how Berkeley/Duke/NYU/Princeton/UCDavis/UCSD could start reaching out at any moment. Anyone else not thinking about this at 8:43 a.m.?

I mean, I'm riding off of pretty poor methodology here, but if I had to bet money, it would be that there are very few if any left. Here's my thought process. 
Ohio State, the other "top" school that has released decisions, has 10 acceptances this year, last year there were 12. It is known that Ohio State's admits are all out. Assuming static amounts of people accepted into the program, we can conclude that gradcafe is probably slightly less popular than it was last year. 
The results page from last year has a count of 9 acceptances for Northwestern, and this year there are 5. Assuming that nothing has really changed (ie one school this year decided to become a lot more or less selective), the expected amount of acceptances on the results page is 7.5, which means it's very very plausible that there's little if anything left. 
[edit: I had counted wrong and there are actually five this year and 9 last year, although that doesn't change the conclusions too much when we add more data. On my really rushed count, we have 6 in 2017, 8 in 2016, 6 in 2015, 7 in 2014, 10 in 2013, 5 in 2012. The substantive conclusion still is that it is very very unlikely that we'll see another full wave of acceptances.]

Same here. But I sent an email to the admission office. So let's see what they say. But from last year's posts, I feel like later notifications tend to be rejections.

This is getting confusing! Someone just updated that (s)he was interviewed yesterday for Northwestern, days after some folks had already received their acceptance letter.

Anyone have confirmation on the Northwestern rejection? Seems early based on when they sent them out in previous years.
