Then again, I've been fooled by trolls before (grrrr.. Columbia)

My portal hasn't changed either. The waves of Columbia trolls this year has me really suspicious over anything that gets posted in the results section until there are at least a few submissions, though it is about time for the UChicago decisions.

i would go take a walk, have a nice picnic in this beautiful high wind weird rainy weather, because someone is likely playing you with the survey. admits go out first, then rejects get referred out to ma committees and then aid is decided weeks later & ma admits happen

Congrats! that is really wonderful news. Did you recieve an email or randomly checked apply web?  

*fingers crossed*

It was on applyweb. 

I have been rejected from 2 of the schools I applied (Princeton and UCSD) and still waiting to hear from Chicago and Yale. 

*fingers crossed*

I'm also IR track, but my portal did not changed. Maybe, rejection?...

Please don't worry about the Chicago supposed rejection—as @e2e4 said, and as the record of the past years shows, Chicago is famously bad at releasing rejections in a timely way, precisely because it sends so many files it rejects from the PhD program on to the MA programs. No one's going to be rejected by UChicago for about a month.

Claiming the UMich acceptance!!!!!! IR track, POI is MD.

I will definitely accept. Full funding for 5 years!

I like your post on the results page. I like to imagine that you're an old British lord screaming "good god" at their computer.

Congratulations -- that's an amazing school! I have a friend there who really has liked it.

I'm CP, and mine isn't updated either.

Haha I'm actually hoping for some rejections -- my inbox is very busy. It's like when you go somewhere and the menu has 30-50 options. I want more of an In-N-Out level of choices ;)

Hi all! First post on gradcafe. I've really appreciated y'all and this forum. You've done an excellent job of distracting me from reading about the coronavirus (or Iowa) non-stop. I was accepted to Princeton and rejected by Berkeley in Jan; waiting on the rest. Wishing everyone a successful cycle!

You like more of an In-N-Out level of choices but you seem to be checking McDonalds, Burger Kings and Chik-fill-a’s menus too...

So modest yet so hungry. ?

Has anyone heard anything from UC Riverside? I saw a few posts popped up a couple of days ago and then nothing.

Sorry for the late response but I got accepted to UC Riverside yesterday but i didn't post anything on the other page so idk if those are legit.

What I do not like about the choices is having many people who advocated for your app reach out with very thoughtful messages, but inevitably when the tide comes in you will have to turn down faculty you respect & whose work you admire. For me it's always been easier to get dumped than to do the dumping. Getting rejected from a school I started to feel tepid about was a blessing in that sense.

Claiming the Notre Dame acceptance and LSE interview. Could not have asked for a better birthday present :) Congratulations to everyone who's been admitted. And good luck to everyone waiting to hear back. Remember, everyone here has worked so hard and deserves to get into their dream program!

Happy Birthday!
