Also claiming a Berkeley admit!! One of my dream schools! Just received a email from the DGA. Best possible way to end the week!

Guess we have to step up our anxiety game. Or schools need to step up their releasing game?

Yeah I think with all the "lol 69" jokes in the results it's pretty clearly a troll. If only all trolls were this obvious!

Probably not. I have reliable info (from a current student there) that they do not hold interviews for all subfields. CP is likely not to conduct interviews, for instance.

Did you apply to the same set of schools? These things seem to vary more between schools than over the years within schools. IIRC last year UCSD results came out Jan 27th, which was a Wednesday, and they came out today this year. So weekdays might matter too.

Seconding some of the other posters, my bet (among the programs in my list) is NYU still this week and Berkeley and Princeton early next week. But then again next week is probably gonna be the biggest week of the season. Fingers crossed for all of us!

We discussed that a bit a few pages ago - it seems these January Princeton results are a reoccurring troll. Last year, someone posted an admit in January, but people only claimed Princeton results on the forums on the second week of February.

I got rejected from Chicago PolEcon on Jan 20th, so if any of you are still waiting for news that's probably a good sign.

I'm very happy with my two acceptances so far but I think I'm far from a decision. I'll probably only have a clear idea by the end of the month, when most results will be out, but if I'm still between similar-ranked programs it'll probably come down to the (virtual) visits and chats with faculty and students.

Thanks, congrats to you too! Yeah, I basically replied thanking the DGA for the great news, saying how excited I am, and confirming I would attend the virtual visit.

Claiming an Emory acceptance! Email from DGA, formal letter and funding info to come around Feb 7th.

They offered me a 4 year, $22k/y TAship, meaning that I would have to TA every semester and only have 4 years of guaranteed funding (though it seems everyone gets more funding after the 4th year). The package is definitely below average for T20 programs, but the department seems great and I talked to some people there and everyone is very nice.

The result says the applicant received the decision on the 26th, which is the same day the other rejections were posted. Also, some people claimed rejections here on the thread. I believe they are legit, they just might be coming by subfield. Or not hearing from them yet could mean we are on a final shortlist or something of the sorts. Hopefully we'll have some news this coming week!

RE: Vandy, a friend who was admitted there on a past cycle told me the adcomm didn't do interviews for all subfields (my friend didn't, and she's in CP). So while getting an interview is a good thing, not getting one might just mean that your subfield is not doing them.

Probably just a frustrated human being that likes to see us freak out here on the forums

I'm checking last year's thread after @plus's heads-up and it seems there were a bunch of fake Princeton and Berkeley results on late January, and the legit Berkeley results only came around Feb 8th. So my guess is they are fake indeed, possibly a single troll posting multiple acceptances.

I think I'll die if Berkeley, Emory, UCSD, and Princeton + the programs that usually release results on early Feb all come out next week.

Another Berkeley acceptance posted. Anyone willing to claim...?

I received my Chicago rejection at 8pm EST and my automated UT acceptance (hours after the DGS email) at midnight, so I'd say it's possible. Hope they come on a rolling basis. And Berkeley has larger-than-average cohorts, right?

Does anyone know if it's normal for schools to release results on weekends? Or can we safely log off on Friday night and only check in again on Monday?

Same here, nothing yet. I think people only claimed rejections so far, but I was also hoping to hear some news from them today.

Pretty sure it's the Quant score, I reported both when I submitted my result and the one that showed up was my Q.

The forums were down for quite some time, right? Glad they are back up. I'm claiming an acceptance at UT Austin - email from DGS this morning followed by a very nice email from another prof in the adcomm. I'm very happy! Great school and great fit there. Also, I got nothing from Emory and I'm under the impression that at this point no news is good news - it seems they usually send out acceptances after rejections.

IIRC they usually release results on Thurdays. But then again, Emory tended to release theirs on Mondays/Tuesdays and still nothing, so who knows anything at this point.

I did not apply to Duke but they seem to be interviewing some people (mostly theorists), so file reviews must be at an advanced stage. It's weird that they present a number of matriculated students though, they shouldn't know how many acceptances they'll have before April 15th.
