No words of COVID so not sure why. But i think the important thing is to stay safe and sane in this age of uncertainty and not overthink this whole process. This is what i learned in a short period of time with the help of very passionate trolls. As much as i see they are more eager in what they do than me wanting to get accepted.

Absolutely not. I personally contacted the Graduate School and they specifically told me that they have not sent any letters or acceptances and probably they will not be sending them until the beginning of March. In all this mess this truth may appear to you as fictional but you can contact them and check. They were kind enough to respond me. This forum is really being an endless hole swallowing all of us. And I am pretty sure trolls are inside us.

It is a possibility and I am asking his idea. And thanks for the insight.

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. Do you have any idea how many students UT Austin is going to take this year?

Well, if you have a courage to make such arrogant and prejudiced claims you should also read well first what you are replying to. I do not see any disclaimer about my anxiety level in my writing. If I made anyone of you upset and nervous because of what I wrote I am so sorry. I am just trying to understand the situation here. I was honest in asking my questions and as much as I see there were very constructive answers as well. Many of you replied by saying actual acceptance rates are higher and they do not appear here. But while not being a very credible source of information Gradcafe is successful in giving us a pattern. If 20 people entered their results last year but there is a real decrease in the entered data this year, no matter how many people universities take, this is a bad sign for us. I admit that I may be mistaken for Princeton since they may really be trolls. And I sincerely hope I am wrong about NW. Thanks for your insights.

Hello everyone. I have discovered this forum a couple of weeks ago and said enough to just lurk around and decided to share my views with grad aspirants like me. Although some of you are hesitant with the authenticity of the posts in the results page I am on the pessimistic side and consider them to be true as an applicant who did not get any response up to now. I am seeing 4 Princeton and 6 Northwestern admits. Do you think it is logical to think people who did not get a response from these two most probably are gonna rejected. I am coming to this decision on the basis of the claims that many schools are gonna admit less students this cycle. As much as I can see, there were 11 admits for Northwestern and 8 for Princeton last year based on the Gradcafe results. What do you think? By the way is there anyone who contacted with those universities to learn whether they are done with the notification of admits or not? In all honesty, I am far from being pessimistic about my other applications, I am just trying to understand the dynamics of this cycle. I hope everyone of us get what we wish for.
