The scenario I imagine is this: Acceptances are important, and the schools want to get those out as soon as they can. Rejections are the opposite and have no priority. There is a part-time, two-day-a-week work-study undergrad making minimum wage to sit at the office desk and do admin stuff. They'll get around to it when they get around to it. Probably a post-it note on the computer that says, "Send out rejections!" But they have homework to do.
Alright yall, UT Austin just updated my status from "in review" to "Your file has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review." I know the general consensus is this doesn't mean anything, but my heart is now in my throat.
Not gonna lie, the Vanderbilt rejection stings a little. Wanting to go there is what spurred my decision to apply to phd programs this season. At least it's Friday night ? time to drink
