I did get an offer officially today from EALL at Yale (I'm in the joint program with Film & Media Studies), so presumably decisions are out for everyone.  

Does anyone have any information/update on East Asian Studies Masters program at Harvard, Stanford, Yale and Columbia?

Thank you! ❤️ And yes, I'm looking forward to taking it! I did get an offer for PhD from Harvard.
As far as EALC goes: I heard unofficially from my POI that I got in last week. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences finalized all admission recommendations formally yesterday, so they will be sending out official letters some time between today and next week. It seems like interviews weren't required, so applicants may hear first from the official letter rather than POI. Idk how HEAL is going. 

What's the most polite and best way to turn down an offer from a school with whose professor you have been in touch with for a while? There's been a bit of back and forth and I feel like an asshole while sending an email rejecting the offer. Would anyone who has done this have advice on how to sound less rude (at least to myself)?

can anyone confirm that Princeton acceptances have already gone out?

has anyone heard when Princeton will be releasing decisions? It seems like in recent years they have usually come out in the second week of February...

History Department. 

Also curious whether the Chicago admits who were notified of acceptance by their POIs earlier last week received a more official notice from the department on Friday.  From the results page, it looked like the waitlist notifications were semi-official emails from the department that went out all at once.  I would have expected the department to give all the admitted applicants notice at the same time.  If they did, then it's clearly all over.  But if not, there may still be hope that certain POIs are just jumping the gun (as the post from the Chicago undergrad on Friday suggested).
