A lot of rejections seem to be sent out today. If you didn't get one, then you're safe for now.

I guess this means that all the definite admits and rejections have been decided. They should just send out the rejections now since they have the waitlist to fill any empty spots later down the road.

Why do you say that?

The profile template is below. Check out the and the threads too.

I thought I had to go through all that when I applied. Good thing the engineering department has an online document upload option. My list of bad applications: 1. MIT: It's just depressing, and the list of all of the textbooks was too much. Also, there isn't a way to check if they received transcripts and GRE. 2. Stanford: No way to jump between sections. There are no way of checking supplemental document status, and the PDF copy of the application does not show the uploaded documents (i.e. SOP, CV, transcripts) so I was worried that there was an error and my documents were not uploaded. 3. UC Davis: Just because they had a word limit for the SOP so I ended up cutting out a good portion of my SOP.

There is a lot of room for improvement on your GRE scores. However, I don't know if you can get an adequate test date with enough time study this late in the year. I recommend you get the Nova GRE Math Prep Course book. You should download the PowerPrep software from ETS and do an assessment to see where you're at.

I took the computer-based GRE earlier this month and it showed that my scores were reported 6 business days later.

You can find the PowerPrep software on the ETS website.
