I don't know if anyone else is waiting on UCLA, but I just called and they expect decisions to be sent out shortly (as vague as that might be). They said decisions are made on a rolling basis but that a majority would be sent out in the first round, through the portal. They expected to have them sent by now but the complications with the system pushed them back. So, ultimately, no real news.

Congratulations, @YTC and @DatGuy, I'm so happy for you! This may sound stupid or sappy, but I'm glad to see offers go to people rather than statistics. I appreciate the support on this thread.

Thank you. This thread is super supportive. Love it :D

Ahhh congrats! Can I ask how/when they contacted you?

Thanks! And I received an email from Emily Wilson. Very informal thing, really. I believe they're still waiting on the dean to approve admissions and supply the letters before the formal offers roll out!

Thanks, friend. I really appreciate it, and I hope you hear from them too! Would love for us to actually meet each other!

Too kind. Thank you! For what it's worth, I applied to Penn twice before— once for undergrad and once before my Masters. So it's been a long time coming, I suppose!

Woke up to a brief note from Penn saying that they "have not heard from the Graduate Dean regarding funding" but they're still interested in my app, so it sounds like there's an informal funding waitlist going on right now. Anyone else here get a similar message?

No such luck, my friend. Sounds like you have a good chance though!

If the person who posted the rejection dated Feb 27 is on here, would you mind clarifying whether you were interviewed and how you were notified?

Glad to hear you’re still in it with a fighting chance. Btw, are you coming to Michigan’s conference/student weekend?

Thanks--I actually got my admission decision from Penn today--I'm in! No word from the department itself yet but I know spring break started today. 

(And no, I'm not going to make the Michigan conference--it's the same weekend as Northwestern's welcome weekend. Sorry to miss it though!)

Oh wow! Amazing! Congratulations! Glad to know you're in. Sorry to hear you won't be at Michigan's weekend. We could have met!

This is true, good sir, though I'm not visiting Penn during their visit weekend, but earlier. Let me know if you want to be in non-anonymous forum touch anyway. :)

A few existential crises later—I'm on the wait list for U. Maryland and Penn! If anyone is likely to decline their offer, please let me know!

Boo for existential crises, but yay for getting onto the wait lists! Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you!!!! I'm quite pleased. Not sure I would have made it through a second application cycle.
