Yes, around 3 (Mountain time).

Email received. Official offer of admission.

IR subfield - I've been refreshing my email frantically, but haven't received it yet.

Claiming a Stanford acceptance - received a phone call around 11 AM (Mountain time). I was so excited I missed the professor's name! He said email would follow soon with details - still can't believe it!

I found out through the portal. It took forever to load..... Edited to add - I just received an email notifying me of a status update.

Claiming a Duke Admit - No interview

Probably aimed a bit too high... Pending: Stanford, Harvard, Michigan, Duke, Northwestern, John’s Hopkins SAIS, and Maryland Accepted: Wisconsin Rejected: OSU (assumed, because it’s been awhile since all the admits came out and no word)

So a bit of a distraction from all the acceptance talk, but I wanted to add that when my spouse was in graduate school at the University of Maryland she did not receive department funding, but was able to secure a graduate assistantship that covered the majority of her tuition, housing (she managed a fraternity house) and provided a stipend. I mention this because several of her colleagues were pursing PhDs and used this opportunity to make up the difference. Just wanted to put this out there--even if you don't get department funding there are still options if you get accepted!

I received the email around 2:00 PM Mountain time and when I checked the results page here there were already several people reporting admission.

Claiming an admit to UW-Madison IR subfield, looks like a personalized (insert first name here) mass email. I'm sure more decisions to come - hang in there!!

Awesome and Congratulations! What subfield? Curious if any IR have received acceptances!

Welp, those Northwestern acceptances are a bit unexpected. I thought we’d start seeing those next week!
