Who has heard from what? Did anyone get funding yet? Where else did you apply?

I applied only to MA programs.

Rejected: UT Austin, UC Berkeley, Princeton (assumed, no invite to short-list weekend)

Accepted: UW Seattle NELC (I think with no funding), U Chicago with half tuition

Waiting: Michigan, NYU, Columbia.

UW and Chicago were my top choices so I am trying to figure out what to do next.

What about you? Were you the person waiting for UT?

I'm worried since it seems everyone's heard from Chicago, including acceptances, rejections, and even being waitlisted. I haven't heard a word from them. Should I contact them or just keep waiting? (I'm not in a rush since I haven't heard from the other schools yet either).

Sibil, during my obsessive viewing of previous year's grad cafe results, i remember noting that people heard from Chicago over a period of about three weeks, with the latest date being March21. Their website also seems pretty stern on the subject of giving out results over phone/email "We will never, ever, ever do this," or something to that effect, so I would give it a little longer.

I hope you get good news!
