I applied to Harvard -- nothing yet. But Harvard usually doesn't get back until nearer to end of February based on the last few years. I posted a bit earlier on this thread a list of approximate dates you can expect to hear back. Also heads up -- I have a friend at Michigan that said they likely will have a very small cohort this year because they had an unusually high yield last year (like 20 in the class). Similar to Duke, except they are taking some students this year.

Last year the word was the previous year they'd had a very high yield so they weren't accepting alot of new students.

Because I think I read it somewhere that the last year was extremely small cohort because of a very high yield the year before but this season should be back to normal.

This season (Michigan) is back to normal. The compensation was done during last application season. However, notice that over the years, according to their tableau, their yield has been increasing. They are not likely to admit as many people as they used to anyway, because they recognize the prestige they are accruing. ihatedecisions 1
SeriousDiver Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Let me just say it is so fascinating and frustrating how many individuals have dm’d me saying “Hey DUDE”. harshz3792 1

Haven't heard anything from them. Although I believe that Georgetown usually sends out decisions by late feb/early march.
Romcomulus Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Anyone claiming the UCSB acceptance? I haven’t heard anything. I think this is kind of early for them.
casbahboy Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 If you are late to get rejected does that mean anything? Is it more favorable than being rejected immediately?

casbahboy Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Serious question: unemployed applicants, what do you all do while you wait? Do you apply for jobs, do you not apply for jobs, do you build skills...

SDMSK Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Waitlisted at UVA, CP subfield. Can someone share some insights on the chances of being accepted off waitlist at UVA? Dwar 1
PolSci95 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 If any one is waiting to hear from them, UVA just sent me an email telling me yo check my admit decision in the portal

Congrats! I appreciated they gave the funding details right away. 23 minutes ago, Theoryboi said: Hey Captain Marvel, You got into UCI, right? Do you happen to know if they are taking a smaller cohort this year? Yes I did. Unfortunately I don't have any insight into that at this point. They asked for an RSVP to their visiting day by February 7, so I assume all decisions will go out by that time. Best of luck to you if you applied!! billk and Theoryboi 2
