Hahahahaha Virginia Tech's decision letter told me that the reason for my rejection was that there wasn't enough spaces available. Damn lol.

Any word on when we may hear back from CU?

No word yet /: Seems like there’s been a fiction phone call on the results though so they’ve definitely been going out ?

Where did you see something about phone calls?

The gradcafe results page! The 6th result is a Columbia fiction call! Unless you’re talking about a different CU?

No worries! Do you really want it though? Refreshing this page can become quite an obsessive thing ?

^I have it set to only the last two days but you can change it to see results from “all time.”

Let’s just say since discovering gradcafe, it really has been enabling my obsessive compulsiveness ??

I emailed UC riverside about when decisions are coming out. They let me know they were still working on it but didn’t give a timeline ...

I'm so glad you emailed to ask! Still waiting on an update (fiction applicant)

I'm a CNF applicant! I wish they had given some sense of timeline. It feels so late.

I just looked on Draft -- it looks like someone from Fiction found out they were on the waitlist last week.

Hmm maybe not good news for us then. 

[helterskelter]

Anyone here still waiting for Rutgers Newark? I know they interviewed people at the end of February so I guess that means that at this point they'll just be sending out rejections, right?

Yeah they've already done acceptances and waitlists.

[M-Lin]

Did Columbia fiction acceptances all go out today? So confused about their notification process... I e-mailed earlier today but didn’t hear back.

Yeah I had a feeling. Were the waitlists on Draft?

Yeah, not sure if any were cross posted on the results page. Think basically anyone who was interviewed got one or the other.

From my understanding some rejections have gone out and some acceptances have gone out via email OR phone call. Seems like there is no rhyme or reason to their methods. Someone did mention that they have been known to call over the weekend, so FINGERS CROSSED for everyone waiting to hear ??
