I think you can be very direct, you're on your right to ask about that! Something like: Dear XXX, I just wanted to follow up and ask whether you have any status updates regarding the [Program] Ph.D. admissions. I look forward to hearing any updates as they’re available. Thank you for your time! Regards, XXX

They should be doing this. However, no problem if you want to contact them, but maybe talk with the DGS and say something like "I am really looking forward to meeting with Prof. X and Prof. X, would it be possible for you to try to arrange that for me?". But I would wait 1 week or so after admission to do that, maybe they are still instructing POIs, idk

Honestly, I think this is the treatment we should all be receiving from graduate programs! I'm worried about the ones I'm not getting much attention. And don't know how your waitlists would affect that, I think it depends on the program. Would you mind sharing where your two offers were from?

If the program has a Director of Admissions, you should reach out to them. If not, the DGS if probably the best person to reach out!

They said they would be realizing decisions no later than Feb 28... I'm still waiting tho Someone received an unofficial acceptance from a POI on Friday. So I guess decisions should be out soon. Just waiting on Penn and the Harvard rejection to finally end my cycle

Also claiming a USC admission! Very surprised after all the confusion with transcripts!!!

It was a kick-off meeting for admitted students. I'm not sure, but I guess there were around 18 people attending!

We had the first virtual visit meeting today. So I'm not sure if they would still be sending admissions... maybe waitlists?

Anyone claiming the Upenn acceptance?

Also claiming a rejection from Stanford (more than expected lol) I was not even considering to apply, but I had such an amazing experience in their Pathways to PhD Program that I decided to give it a try (btw, definitely would recommend the program for future applicants!) Still waiting on Harvard (assuming rejection), USC and Upenn. Needing this to move on with my life

Absolutely. You can reach out and say that, thank them for the continued consideration of your application and state that you're still interested

Same here! Hopefully they will be considering all "incomplete" applications. This info was not clear at all, I even reached out to the program coordinator and Graduate School at the time and no one replied ?

LOL that's great. Thank you. I will cite that as @modesteffect(2022)

Thank you! Do you know where this list comes from?

Claiming a UMD waitlist here as well.
