Logic to SIPA Admissions?

[Aliciab17]

I've noticed that a number of people who've applied to SIPA have already received their notices and the majority have been accepted. Do you think they are holding the rejections for later this month? Does anyone know if there is a logic to their admissions notifications?

I still haven't heard of my status and am beginning to think that means I've been rejected...

Don't worry, a lot of people haven't heard. If you do a results search on this site, you'll see that people have been rejected and that last year, they accepted, rejected and waitlisted into mid-late March. Check out the SIPA admissions blog; on Wednesday they said:

"The Admission Committee continues to move right along in finalizing decisions. I just wanted to provide quick update and state that over 60% of our decisions have been made. In addition, I can let you know that decisions will be posted well into next week. So hang in there, we still have a way to go but are working as quickly, and accurately, as we can and appreciate your patience."

Try not to worry about it too much; i think there is a distinct "survivor bias" when it comes to posting admissions results on these message boards. Best of luck!
