crackademik Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I’ve been curious about what time of day offers are generally sent. Mine have been sent in the afternoon between 2-5pm, but based on the results, it seems some people do get morning offers. PNWFTW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothingtown Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 9:50 AM CST acceptance to a master's program 4:22 PM CST invite to an interview for a PhD. I have noticed heavier traffic on this site between 2-5 CST, and it would make sense that departments don't want to send emails or make calls first thing in the morning! crackademik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternwild Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) @crackademik Good question. Purdue: Wed, Jan 25, 2017, 10:42 AM central. WashU: Wed, Jan 25, 2017, 12:18 PM central. Jan 25th was a good day. xD Edited February 12, 2019 by Ternwild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilandia Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Both were in the morning, within an hour or so of each other. One even emailed me after they called and left a voicemail, and they sent me a packet in the mail. Apparently they really liked me. ? Still waiting to hear back from a few, though.

Let's not fight about this lol I just thought the question of this thread is funny. It doesn't really matter at what time of the day the notifications arrive... Discussing it just makes people more anxious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people got stuff at like 2 am in the same time zone. Nothing is certain in this process. If it makes you anxious I suggest not looking at the board rather than downvoting.

Different people cope with the anxiety of waiting differently. For me, allowing myself to only check my email during offer “peak hours” is a way to cope. As others have implied, maybe just don’t comment on a post that you think is useless?

toxicmoss Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 10 AM and 9:15 AM for acceptances 3:45 PM and 2 AM for rejections (automated) All schools are PDT If I had to guess, acceptances will be in the morning to mid-day since a person has to send them, and rejections are whatever goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In anyway was my post offensive? If not, then that was just mean. Ternwild and crackademik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the person who started all of this looool Hey, instead of focusing on what time they send out notifications (and downvoting replies you dislike), why not wish everyone receiving a desired offer?

havemybloodchild Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 @homie you didn’t like the reaction you got so you...gave it? Wanting to have every thread of info to make yourself feel in control and wishing everyone well are not mutually exclusive, at all. Yes, it is offensive, but furthermore supremely unhelpful, to judge how other people find comfort in this distinctly uncomfortable process. Again, if you don’t find solace in this thread, bow out. No one is stopping you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blew up my mind if you (or the others) think the other way. You started attacking people without knowing the time stamps of the downvotes in the first place, so don't try educating others if you behave the same way crackademik and Ternwild 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
