Also rejected at NYU, but not surprised. C'mon Harvard!

Same here. Going to reach out and let them know that I'm interested in attending.

I'm an Americanist, secondarily interested in quant methods and political economy.

In at Maryland!

I was notified by email, with an official letter to come through snail mail by next week. Good luck!

I got into UPenn with full funding! I'm completely shocked! Congrats to all other recent admits!

It's one thing to say "well, I applied here because given X, I thought I had probability Y chance of acceptance." It's another thing entirely to invoke the phrase "safety school" with all of its associated undertones in a process which demands intellectual maturity.

Proposing an answer to the question on the results board (with respect to the recent Rochester admits): One possibility is that they are admitting by subfield. Another is simply that the adcom just started meeting! But who knows, I'm crossing my fingers still.

No, you are not. Signals to me that they are not taking this process seriously at all.

Definitely some crude trolling going on in the results search.

Congrats! Gives me hope that I might still get into my higher ranked choices. Nice touch with the Biggie Smalls reference.

I've also joined the Pitt waitlist cohort. Congrats guys, it's certainly not bad news at all.

It's not over until you have the rejection letter.

Congrats! May I ask which subfield you're interested in?

Pitt applicant here. No word from them yet -- I think someone either may have been a little antsy and called, or received a call from a POI.

My girlfriend just took a job in Boston, where we live and I study now. I'm joining in on the sweat -- hoping to stay in Boston! If not, I'm going to have a lot of persuading to do...
