Really hoping that Berkeley starts sending out the rejection emails soon. I want some closure!

Honestly, put us out of our misery already. Do you know if all the acceptances have been sent?

No idea, but if I had to guess I'd say most acceptances have probably been sent based on the results page (I'm generally pessimistic though, so grain of salt!)

@SeriousDiver Congrats to you and everyone else who's gotten in! Do you know if they've sent out all the admit emails? Only waitlist/reject left?

According to a previous post here, they seem to have sent out at least one waitlist decision.

Just got an email informing me I've been waitlisted at Berkeley. They said they had a particularly small cohort this year or they would have offered admission. ?‍♀️Hopefully it's a good sign though that I'm in the running at other Top 10 programs!

Alright, I’m taking a break from here

[cardinal35]

Has anyone heard about the status of Michigan, UNC-Chapel Hill, or Rochester's applications or have an estimated date when we can hear decisions?

Michigan -- Sometime around Feb 7/8

UNC typically releases decisions in waves, sometimes over an extended period of time. We could probably hear back anytime.

[HCE]

Claim another Princeton admit, CP as well. 

[Rachmaninoffovich]

In light of all the recent acceptances (congratulations to all), is it safe to assume that if we haven't heard from Princeton yet that it's probably a no? Or might there be acceptances sent out tomorrow as well?

I doubt anyone here would have a reliable answer to that. I think staying positive is the best move!
