I see that many have posted their rejections and acceptances. Still waiting to hear about mine (for CP).. I would be cautiously optimistic that you are on some kind of soft wait list. Or at least made it past the first cut. They sent out a ton of rejections (including one for me) a few days ago. 90BS 1

As fo the recent decisions people have posted, they may now be considering waitlist . Or, the university is just closed and the decisions, whether accepted or denied are delayed. Interesting - I thought I saw an American acceptance on the 23rd. Here's hoping they'll come out soon!
upsy Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 7 minutes ago, eggsalad14 said: Lol I feel like this is really getting ahead of ourselves. There's a thread awhile back that has some old visit dates, and I'd be surprised if they deviated much from previous years. Top schools will try hard to not make theirs intersect. As I said in my post, I already have a conflict between two schools I've been admitted to, so for me, it very much doesn't seem to be getting ahead of myself. With current admissions alone, I'm likely to be making 3 trips with 5+ hour flights each way. It's no small commitment. Schools have limited reimbursement budgets and encourage us to book flights early, which is difficult to do when so much is still up in the air. I'd also hate to schedule a trip and then have a school fall lower in my preferences based off of future admissions. I'd still be pretty much obligated to go (some schools won't reimburse you if you don't attend), but it would be a waste of the school's money and of their faculty's time in speaking with me, which I would feel poorly about, and a waste of my time to boot. In any case, if I find much in old threads, I'll share it.

My big point is really that if you wait a bit, you'll have a lot more info about where you've gotten into, and which schools you're really considering. Ticket prices don't jump too much until maybe 2-3 weeks before the flight, so you'll be okay if you don't have 12 contingency plans right this moment.
Marius G Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Does anyone know when I should expect to hear back from Gtown, UMD, UPenn? Are they usually in February or March? Thanks and good luck to everyone.
Neil Soul Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Has anyone received any update from Pittsburgh? I saw someone reported an interview.

If I remember correctly, Georgetown should be around the same timeframe (could be a bit earlier or later- I haven’t looked at it in a while). You can check the results page for previous years at your schools to find more info. Good luck!

I guess I'll have no choice other than to wait a bit, there was very little information on visit dates in the other thread. The earliest visits are still a good month away. Schools also seem to be fairly willing to schedule alternate dates, so I guess I'll try to rely on that if I end up with more conflicts.

StormingTheCastle Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I still haven't heard from Northwestern, Virginia, Pittsburgh, and CU Boulder. It isn't anxiety-inducing at all. ? trinityshot 1

If you’re really feeling anxious you can always call their office and ask, some people on here have found success with that. I haven’t called myself, waiting until like 5 or 5:30 to do that

The portal still said submitted but there was a separate link to click and see the decision page. It looks like another person did as well so I guess they aren't all coming out at once this year ijustwantin 1
