dvxyzijil Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 @misaki_rabbit ? You’re not the only one checking this forum compulsively. Originally I was trying to stay away from here and live life without the apps weighing on my mind, but now I’ve decided to just enjoy the nervous anticipation. This process is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, right? (Knock on wood. Please, universe, let this be my only cycle.) My two cents, this is a healthy outlet. If it weren’t for this site, I would be bugging my friends and family nonstop with pointless conjecture. BFB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR1221 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I am very excited to claim an acceptance to GW. Came in my email this evening around 3pm. Dwar and dvxyzijil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwar Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 heyyyyyyy, anyone know if there is going to be a second round of OSU acceptances? or if the ones that went out yesterday (22nd) the only batch before the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggsalad14 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I don't think Ohio State waitlists for admission. I've heard they sometimes have to waitlist for funding depending on how much departmental money they have in combination with how students fare in the university-wide fellowship competition. Historically it looks like acceptance notifications have centered around 1-3 consecutive days, and all others are rejections. Dwar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing, it seemed on past cycles all their admissions went out over like one or two days, and then their rejections went out shortly after.

taraeh Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Can someone claim the Northwestern applications? Subfield? Was it an informal acceptance? On the edge of my seat... dvxyzijil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the edge of my seat... I got in at Northwestern today (American/methods). It was a form email from the grad coordinator with an official letter attached from the grad director describing the offer. Good luck with your apps! dvxyzijil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IR1995 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Based on Northwestern’s results from last year, it looks like they send out acceptances over a period of a 1-4 days or so. Really hoping that’s the case again this year. dvxyzijil and IcedCovfefe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmeme Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Congrats to those who have been admitted! Just realized there was a poster claiming the Harvard acceptance in the results page. Do you think it is a troll? Another puzzle of mine: do you think it is a good idea to contact the POI which you haven't reached under the current stage? Will that hurt? Thanks!

brownie_z Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I got into Northwestern today (CP) and i'm still waiting to hear back from other departments. I got an email from the program coordinator with a formal acceptance letter written by the the DGS detailing funding. Good luck to those waiting for a decision!

Onwarrdz Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Anyone know if Northwestern waitlists at all? Trying to figure out how discouraged I should be from the acceptances today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that the technology may result in some delays, but the decisions should be received within a day or two. Insane that they keep so many applicants in limbo.

They never release this early, plus when they do they release them pretty much all at once. I don't think it's really a good idea to reach out to a POI at this stage. Sounds like desperate last minute hoping that they'll do you a favor and advocate for your admission (they won't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane that they keep so many applicants in limbo. I agree 100%, i've been frantically checking both the application portals and my email since the decisions started coming for the specific schools. For me thought its been a few days so I have just accepted the rejection, even though its yet to be formalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Admission FAQ says that they don't send their acceptances at the same time, so I hope to hear from them in the next few days.

bazing Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Maybe I'm trying to justify it to myself but I don't think OSU IR PhD's have been accepted yet. Think adcom sent out for everyone else but IR. But if any OSU IR people have been accepted, please let us know. Dwar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your portal get updated? Mine still shows "You application is under review." I assume it is already a rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 8 OSU acceptances on the results page and you don't think any of them are IR? Despite the fact that pretty much every year acceptances are centered around about 2 days, and that it is known that acceptances come from the department itself, and not a single coordinator or anything.
