til1996 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I don't mean to contribute negativity and fatalism, but I just wanted to briefly bid farewell to the thread. Although I haven't received any decisions yet, the consistent reports of Ph.D programs receiving twice (sometimes more) the number of applicants they ordinarily do has me feeling quite down and resigned to striking out this year, especially considering that some departments have also cut their intake. My profile is good but by no means the crème de la crème or anything close to that. If I'm going to do this again, I will need to apply to many more programs than I did this time. In the meantime, I need put myself in the proper head space to really think about alternative options for next year. If I get a surprise admit, I will be sure to pop back in. But I suspect I won't! Best of luck to everyone! cheetah, Uberfloweret, Barry B. Benson and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just assume that I am rejected by all of them? Stressful... Congrats to all the good news!!! I am also waiting on UCI, no word either way. It looks like in the past they spread the acceptances out over a few days so I'm trying not to lose all hope yet. Congrats to those admitted, so exciting and curious to hear more of your thoughts on the program! StarkDark1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to everyone! Hey, don't worry, there's plenty of time. COVID has messed up the schedule, and it's only February 2nd. There are still a couple of weeks where programs typically send out admits. Edited February 2, 2021 by StarkDark1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrotomato Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Personally, I don’t know what to do right now; not elevating the level of negativeness but I’m pretty sure that I’m rejected by every program and this year is my second cycle.

Mad Scientist Malfrost Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Has anyone reached out to Chicago to get a timeline for this cycle? When I talked to a PoI in the Fall they said expect results "early Feb" but not sure if that means within the first week or two weeks. Thinking of reaching out to this PoI tomorrow to ask about timeline if no one else has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just when the official letters go out though, the email mentioned that departments can informally inform people earlier than that and that's more of what I was thinking; the professor I talked said to expect something in early Feb. I'll shoot them an email tomorrow morning and see if I can get a more concise idea for us though! funfetti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely appreciate it On grad cafe results, it seems it can be anywhere in February and March.

icemanyeo Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Also taking a break from the forum for the next couple of days. After muting everything, I was actually productive today and I want to keep that going! Congratulations to all those who have received admit decisions today ~ I'll probably pop back in if I get a surprise admission email. jamesc6, NotaDoctorShh, animal_whisperer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
