Saw someone post a Vanderbilt offer?

This is so true. Getting rejected does not mean you did anything wrong or aren’t capable of succeeding in a PhD program. There’s a lot that goes on behind closed doors, and as outsiders we don’t know precisely how these decisions are made

Georgetown had interviews a little while back. I asked about their timeline during mine and I think they said decisions by mid February

That’s right! I forgot about those

I’m just curious.. did anyone get accepted to northwestern? Everyone has posted rejections so far

I interviewed with Vandy 2 weeks ago and really hope they release decisions soon. The interview went well but I’m nervous

Also rejected by northwestern

So, based on past decision dates, this is a time when many schools (Vandy, UChicago, duke, northwestern) do tend to release decisions. But every year can be different it seems

Slow day so far

Lots of schools are likely to release decisions soon (at least based on past year’s dates): Duke, UChicago, Northwestern, Vanderbilt

Me too!

Quiet morning so far, though it is early in the day

Is anyone claiming the UNC acceptances? I feel like it’s unusually early for UNC this year

Vanderbilt is expected to release decisions this week.

It has been quiet indeed

Are all the Berkeley acceptances so far CP?

Got rejected by Emory. I’m not surprised though, I had terrible fit with faculty

I really was hoping Vandy would come out today. But it’ll probably be next week

It definitely was a troll. It was one, standalone post that doesn’t line up with northwestern’s typical timeline in the past

People are trolling.

Out of curiosity, where did you all apply to?

I’m also curious about this. It seems a little early for UChicago

One of my professors in undergrad told me over and over: you should not be paying to attend a PhD program. They should be paying you a stipend. And there’s absolutely no reason to go into debt for a PhD program

This is very solid and accurate advice. I second this.

Isn’t UChicago supposed to release decisions somewhat soon as well?
