Update. I am courting a new POI in my department, and I still haven't been rejected. I get to work in a new sub-field, and though this is not what I originally planned, I've made peace with it. Best!

Okay, I contacted my POI who is perfect for me (his background and research interests). Unfortunately, he said he isn't taking on any new students this year. I wish he would have told me this before I applied. He referred me to the head of the admissions committee regarding my application status. Will send that email before the weekend is over. Oh well.

Friends, My department has sent out acceptance, rejection, and wait list emails to people here at thegradcafe.com. But I have heard nothing. I'm wondering what the likely outcome is to all this waiting. Thanks

I think I *might* belong in this thread. Undergrad GPA (computer science): 3.4 Grad GPA (computer science): 3.2 Last 1-1/2 years in college (studying undergrad mathematics): 4.0 In my SOP I high-lit my last 1-1/2 years in college, but didn't make an attempt to explain my low grad GPA. I was young (half a lifetime ago) and foolish. I was focused on research, caring very little for my grades. Like water off a duck's back.
