I got a 'forwarded'
What does that even mean?

I did not get in either.

Ok. I'm about to go watch a movie and head in for the night. Based on @flowerpower07's earlier post, we may not get feedback at all today (or even next week.)
Until next time. Ciao -
Looks like @Jeanne A. is asleep ?
I envy her escape from this all-night vigil. It's already 8:30PM where I am.

I conflated this message and the results board posting that it would be today.

Thank you!
Yes, indeed, congrats! My manners are poor! PhDs are hard to get into, even if you don't get all the funding you want.

I just wrote to my PoI I had no contact with! This is so absolutely sad and crazy! Just tell me so that I can cry myself to sleep.
At this stage, you've got nothing to lose
Surely they understand. Lol -

Bless you for getting this information for us. You're saving me the last bit of sanity that I can spare.
But what does "very soon" mean. For anxious folk like us, is it today, tomorrow, next week, beginning of March? ?

Great. Time to be able to rejoice or cry, and move on!

@jk25 you got interviewed at SGSE, right?
It has been a bad day for me. I got an offer of 1/3rd scholarship from 1 university. If I take that up, I will basically have to work full time and then some to fund my PhD. Ha ha ha!
No, I was only in touch with a few via e-mail. I'm not sure if an unfunded PhD makes sense though. It just seems so unmanageable to work full time and really be dedicated to your research.
-
Everywhere I have applied to are not keeping their usual deadlines. It's unbearable for me; I haven't heard back from a single school. Really starting to panic here.
-
I hope that they do reply quickly. If not, it's a poor sign. People tend not to like to bear bad news.

too scared to ask incase it ends up being a no ?
If it's a no, I prefer to know now.

For the best. I do not blame anyone for reaching out to get any extra info (though I'd not be to obnoxious). It just seemed that the advisors either have to be tight-lipped about information or maybe they don't all hear back at the same time?
The advisors are not the ones to decide?

Congratulations @flowerpower07! I wish you all the best for your days at Stanford!
The only problem with her post is that of "end Feb-March." For real???? I cannot wait that long. I just e-mailed my POI. Time to end this torture!

So I'll be honest. I was a low key wreck yesterday and the day before after seeing acceptances and rejections start rolling onto the results page. Someone in results said they reached out to their POI to get an update because they felt GSE was taking too long? So I gathered up the courage to email my POIs to see if there was any sort of update I'd missed out on (or if they could at least tell me I'd been rejected so I could rip the bandaid off).
The reply was along the lines of advisors/department have done their part, it's now in the deans office, "results go out late Feb-early March". We'll update you if anything changes.
[insert manic laughing and internal screaming]So I thought I was done for. I decided to reply back to at least thank them for letting me know what the situation was today, but I've recently gotten a reply back saying they received an update from the admissions office and I'll get an official notice that I've been accepted.
I've been accepted. ?
So lots of things are happening in lots of different ways. Don't give up. Even if it doesn't happen this year don't give up.So happy for you! What an interesting turn of events.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I think it's important to understand that this application process is very personal and we are all navigating our own insecurities, struggles and hopes during this time. For the record, I am the person who stated that it's Stanford's loss for not accepting me. To feel confident in my abilities and my value-add to their cohort and to also reflect on how I could have done better are not mutually exclusive. It's important that we aren't quick to jump to conclusions about people's attitudes, confidence levels or circumstances because truth be told, you weren't with me when I cried my eyes out during this admissions cycle. You weren't with me on days that I struggled through self-hatred and self-doubt. I'm grateful that I am finally at a point where I recognize, HEY I AM AWESOME! And maybe Stanford can't see that, but someone else will. In any case Toyo, I wish you all the best, and however your admissions cycle turns out, I hope that you will be confident in your awesomeness and in the brilliance you bring to whatever cohort you enter. Because you need to be unshakeable in that. Grad school is hard enough. Cheers!
I endorse this message

happy to answer questions if there are any! my POI was surprised that I hadn't received a letter already, so I'm guessing they're going out soon?
Did you have an interview prior to this? You should be very proud.
