I'm in the same boat. I've already started my list for next year as a coping mechanism. It's so hard to even figure out though which programs make good safety(ish) schools. Does anyone have any ideas?

Yeah. Agree! Although I think Iowa is one of the schools that doesn't always notify everyone together.

No news for me yesterday. Wonder if there will be any today.

what schools do we think will notify this week? looks like for me I'm thinking it's pretty silent this week with news in the next 2.

The usual answer for why it takes longer is just an admin thing. Someone has to go in and do all the rejections. But all programs do it differently. I I applied to Minnesota though and I'm assuming rejection.

idk after my official rejection and my other anticipated ones I've been a little thankful for the reprieve from bad news. but also ready to get it over with so

Since we have talked each week about who is gonna notify. What week do you actually think people will receive the most news? I'm thinking maybe not next week but the week after but that is a total guess.

cried not screamed but its all good.

hmm some of mine are should be close ish (like northwestern, Upitt, and Minnesota) but I have a feeling that will be next week. You?

same still hoping there is a chance for waitlist at UIUC

I got an email from gradcas saying I could apply to other programs and it made me so sad because I thought it was news.

I think it just literally means that your app has went through. But not any indication that you will receive word soon. Just that the readers/faculty have it and can view it.

I don't blame you. I check everything all the time and it's super difficult to not to want it all to be over with asap.

It's possible. Idk weirdly enough not a single person posted Ohio state acceptances which I thought would never happen. They notified on 1/31 of rejections. So I assume it takes a while for them to put rejections in. But we will probably have news next week. But Ohio state did have waitlists. Soo I would think there would be one or the other on draft?

It's so good! Only one episode is out for the first season but it was a 10/10 watch.

I think they will leave a voicemail. They always email too though!! So, not picking up is fine.

At least I have time to recover from my first rejection lol

I'm thinking this week will be pretty silent. What about y'all?

You're right back to waiting!

Same here... I know that getting rejected from one place doesn't mean anything but now I am worried worried.

AHH indeed.

Based on what I've seen others say - You should definitely thank them and express your interest. And it's okay to ask if it's ranked/unranked. Other than that I think it's best to just let it be until later on in the application season. They might ask if you have any questions and I think that can be a good way to show interest but only if they offer. Some people on draft have said if a school is your top choice that it is okay to say that but only say that if you actually really mean it.

So obvi no one really knows and I don't. I find it unlikely that out of all the all the genres no one posted online. That's possible but it'd be like 12 people who don't have draft or grad cafe. Weird that only waitlist people do. I don't see why OS would ask people not to say anything. Possible but I don't see the reason. Doesn't seem like they've asked in the past and I don't think that is actually super common practice. They likely won't notify until Tuesday. There could be a lot of reasons they haven't made call (different faculty doing calls versus waitlist/grad school thing/admin thing. Who knows. I still think though they haven't sent out acceptances.

Congrats!!!

Yeah I realize they most often go out first. Just interesting that no one shared considering they usually do based on past data.
