Hello everyone. This is my first post here after having lurked here obsessively reading the forums for the past two months. I applied for a PhD program at University of Chicago, and I sent the admissions committee an email earlier today inquiring about when they would start sending out decisions for this application season. I got a reply soon after, saying "the admissions committee is still reviewing applications, thank you for your patience". Now, I just checked the results board and I can see that my program has sent out an acceptance today. What could this discrepancy mean? Have they not reviewed my application or is it a sign that I am not among the ones accepted? Or could the post on the results forum be a fake?
Thanks for your opinions..
