Same!

Outside of the couple of people here who have claimed Michigan admits (congratulations by the way!) has anyone heard anything from Michigan?

I have it too. It is probably a glitch

I contacted the admissions office, and it seems like it's a glitch. The email also mentioned that applications are currently still under review, and decisions will be sent out over a period of 2 to 3 weeks beginning next week, if anyone else hasn't heard from UChicago.

To those who applied to Georgetown's government, any news yet from the AP subfield?

Haven’t posted here yet and just found the thread recently, but I got a phone call on Friday from Georgetown’s AP field chair notifying me of my acceptance. No idea if this means all acceptances have been released though.

Thank you! Honestly I’m new to this process and had no idea what to expect. I suppose my best advice is to be really close with a couple undergrad professors who will write great letters for you? Haha

Haha fair, alll my writers were from GU! I think where I messed up most is a low quant score for a quant heavy subfield like AP.

Would it come off as pushy to write to UNC and ask when decisions will be announced?

Pushiness is a virtue in academic life  kidding - I think it's totally fine. Another option would be to call them (in which case they probably won't ask for your name)

I'm not sure if it is a glitch. I've attached a screenshot on what my portal says 

I was admitted to UChicago (departmental letter on Feb 10, followed by official admissions letter from the division on Feb 14), and my portal doesn't show any request for an official transcript—the only required form it's asking for is a reply to the offer of admissions—so I'm not sure I'd read anything into that.

I applied to McGill. Have not heard from them yet.

Claiming admission to McGill - CP track

[ihatedecisions]

@uchenyyidk, I can never estimate what is appropriate and what is not  I can say if they are all over the place with admissions or tend to release at the beginning of February? maaaaybe it would be appropriate to gently poke them with a stick at the end of this week?...

So far I did not see a rejection from GU on the survey. I guess they sent all acceptances. Can we say that we are going to receive rejection those who are still waiting from GU?

CP.
It looks like my application was rejected since I have not received news from them.
I do not mind, to be honest - I already received an offer from a strong US school that I am going to accept.
