For people still waiting for Yale, they are not done: ‘We have not finished notifying applicants of their acceptance to our program. We hope to notify all applicants by the end of the week“ Just emailed them. Good luck for all!

saltlakecity2012, thank you~~ I emailed DGS on Thu and at that moment, no any decision made yet. Then so many acceptance poped out yesterday. I did not want to bother them any more. Thanks! At least, you have so many nice choices. Congratulations!

So Columbia is also done this year? My hope collapsed finally.

Hey all Got a letter from my POI, said my background is very strong that he is interested in me. But he also asked where else I have applied for. This program is my safe school and all the others I applied for are better than it. Unfortunately, I got some rejections from the others already. So, this one becomes very important for me. What do you guys think I should reply? Thank you! Good luck to all of you!!

No reply from UCSD yet, anyone is the same situation?

Still got nothing from UCSD. What does this mean? I am here, actually, whether I should just go to their office to ask?

Same here, mine is not yet. Still hold slim hope though. BTW, UCB seems come out now~~ Wisconsin, Umich are out. Should I still have hope?

Yep, I have the same question. For Duke, where we should check our status or just ApplyYourself. They emailed me an Identification Number, but I don't know whether I need it to check status? Thank you~~

According to last years' survey of Gradcafe: Duke Feb 3rd, rej and acceptance come together via email or website; Stanford Feb 4 rej will be by email; acceptance by phone, seems Umich most of the outcomes turn out on Feb 4, the earliest one is Feb1, coming with both rej and acceptance. Some acceptance extends later. Let's see next week!!!

Mine of Wisconsin is also pending~~ So it means rejection, right? Just need to wait longer time to get a confirmation

Haha~~~ 新年快乐！！！ I am Chinese! Glad to get greetings from this website!! Thank you Blackcoffee64 and Secret Squirrel WIsh all of us get offers from dream school!

Hey All I have an urgent question about the letter. One of my letter writer is currently just told me today that he is busy in doing his research that he won't write my letter until mid December. Some deadlines are early Dec that he could not make it. I am wondering could he submit the letter later than the deadline. I will finish all the other materials on time. Thanks!

Hey Guys I have a question for re-application. I have applied master program 3 yrs ago and ended with rejections for most programs. After 3 yrs, I have improved with better GRE, better English, better letters and a Master program. I am wondering does my history record matter for my current application? You know, when I fulfill the application system online, they always ask me about this story and even I need to write a little essay about "If you are reapplying for graduate study at XXX, describe how your academic qualifications have changed and whether you were previously admitted" Is it important? Thanks

Hey~~ I have a question about the online application information that you need to provide. There is one: List faculty members (if any) with whom you have consulted or corresponded regarding your application. Include contact date. What's this for? Should I fulfill it with the faculty names? I tried to contact someone, but they are just polite as to everyone. you know. Does it matter a lot? Thanks

As an international student here, I have to tell you frankly that it is almost impossible for them to enroll international student unless you have your own funding. All the International student I know here is that they got funding from their own government or some other resources. I even give it up.
