Just spoke with the actual graduate advisor for the program.
I asked when I could expect to hear about their decision and she very quickly said, "next week."
I felt a little guilty for probing further, but I did ask if I could expect an email or USPS and she said both.
Soooo, not sure what this means although I tend to think it's not necessarily good.
It's purely speculative on my part, but it seems that mass messages are not typically how departments inform folks that they've been accepted : (
It sure would be great to know if anyone has actually recieved a letter of acceptance. If not, it seems like we're all still in the running!
