Still no word on Harvard? Has anyone called or emailed them?

Yes, correct. I don't know when letters will be mailed, I'll try to find out from my source. EDIT - My post wasn't so clear. So far as I understand, the final meeting is Friday, but not sure when letters will follow.

Sure thing, no worries, just a matter of misinterpretation. You're right, I was shooting pretty high, guess I have to wait for Harvard.

On the successful execution of not getting in? Gee, thanks champ. Go...

Well, not to be mean (especially since I seem to have not gotten into two of my three), departments have much more of an incentive to email the people they want to admit than the ones they don't. They have to prioritize.

Notre Dame admincom is meeting on Friday, from a direct source.

Thanks for sharing, procrastinatrice, much appreciated. Congrats on getting in!

Re: my post about WashU, so far as I understand, they will make final decisions on Friday, with acceptances going out next week.

For what it's worth, I was told by someone (a prof) who spoke with the DGS at Chicago late last week that they are actually looking to bring in 10-14 students.

Would any Chicago admits be willing to share their stats? I would be really curious to see exactly what it takes to get in there. I have a 3.82 UGPA, 3.75 Grad GPA from a pretty solid school, a forthcoming book chapter, some conference presentations, and some research and travel grants. But that apparently is not enough to even get waitlisted.

WashU admincom is meeting at the end of the week.

And I just broke down and called Princeton and their secretary told me acceptances go out end of Feb/beginning of March.

OK, I just called Chicago, the secretary said that acceptances will go out sometime in the next two weeks, but they are shooting/hoping for next week.

I just found this site, but it sure is useful! Any word on Chicago or Princeton?
