MtnDuck Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Duke has a confirmed report of an acceptance as of 5 minutes ago (via FB).

I'm skeptical. Here is the previous data from past years (2012-2018): February 23 R March 9 S February 7 F March 5 R March 7 M February 28 T February 9 F               Also, to quickly note, I did indeed get my UMich rejection on the 9th of Feb last year, but I definitely heard of people getting acceptances several days before that (via Twitter)... maybe there was just a failure to report to TheGradCafe last year? EDIT: Actually, just checked the dates and, never mind, my memory was playing tricks on me! Edited February 6, 2019 by Kantattheairport MtnDuck 1
bluwe Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Does anyone know how slow these Michigan phone calls are going out? Have they all been made? akraticfanatic, gradhopeful96 and nextcounterplease 3

I got one of those this morning (!!) from Michigan's director of grad admissions. He mentioned that this year they were actively trying to get acceptances out early/be among the first to make offers, which suggests they aren't dawdling on the calls... So I'm going to guess it's not a great chance that (m)any calls remain. Sorry to bear bad news ? though of course that's far from conclusive -- maybe there are some left for tomorrow!  Edited February 7, 2019 by crunderdunder Kantattheairport and charliekkk 1 1

As @antianticlimacus said, not sure if it's fake, but it hasn't been claimed. I will also add that (I think) every other year BC has released decisions via snail-mail, and the one posted says that their decision came via email. So, I am inclined to be skeptical... antianticlimacus 1

The program gets a lot of applications as I understand it (historically at least two acceptances seem to pop up on grad cafe each year). I feel like someone would have come forward here or on the fb group if it were legit. Dysexlia 1

redsubywa Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 For what it's worth, I'm in the MA program at BC - I don't think the committee had finished their decisions at the point when that "Acceptance" was posted (90% sure). antianticlimacus, Fontanabush and akraticfanatic 2 1

Do you know how they let folks know i.e. email or snail mail? Or any other info you may have heard. Asking for a friend.

a ravenclaw Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Can someone claim the SFSU acceptance? When did you submit?Â

FYI, I got a big envelope and assumed I'd been accepted to the PhD, but I'd only been accepted to the consolation prize unfunded MA. Just in case that happens to you so you don't get excited and then let down like I did
