Such a particular kind of anger to get a "5 Reasons To Consider Ohio State" email two days after getting rejected from them.

If you don't mind my asking, what kinds of things did you do in that year? My understanding is that most of what I can do to improve myself as an applicant happens in undergrad, and I can't afford a masters program at the moment.

I'll also note that, according to that website, we're running late on Princeton results--anyone heard anything there?

I have not. According to this website that aggregates gradcafe data, we should expect to hear probably sometime this week or next. (I believe this link got posted here awhile ago but always nice to repost it as it's such a useful resource.)

Very true. Though, looking back through the list it seems I was mistaken--no one's posted any rejections. So it seems likely to me now that they've posted acceptances today and will post rejections later this week. In any event, congratulations on the acceptance!

To anyone who would know, why would results get gradually released? I see both acceptances and rejections from UVA but I have not received a decision. Are admissions committees making the easy choices (ie obvious accepts and rejects) first? From an outside perspective it seems like a needlessly limiting way to go about this process. What's the rationale there? (And it bears repeating: rejections aren't a sign of your quality as an academic, but instead often result from the whims of an admissions committee. I don't mean to disparage anyone by calling them an obvious reject.)
