I got my promising email at 1:54 PM today. If others received emails in the morning, at least we know not all emails are sent out at the exact same moment.

I just got the rejection letter in the mail. Two weeks difference between the announcement of acceptances and rejections is not okay, not by any means. I wonder how much time and labor they're trying to save by not emailing the rejected. The letter is dated March 27: they might as well have emailed right then. Even though it's common practice in all academic institutions (and is even more nerve-wracking in admissions) not to care enough to email the rejected, it disgusts me every time it happens.

A colleague received an acceptance from the "Mediated Futures" area as well. He was notified on Thursday (March 22) by email. I applied to "Governing Global Production" and haven't heard back. I wonder if every area sends out announcements separately (in which case there is still hope) or whether all acceptances were sent out on Thursday. Has anybody heard from any other area?
