First time posting on this, but yes I heard back from BC yesterday night about my acceptance! CP. Wasn't expecting it given how small the dept is. Funding information all included in the letter. Good luck everyone! DanTheGrad 1

I just wanted to be sure it was a real admissions decision and not someone trying to mess with the rest of us. Again, congratulations on the admit! Hope you continue to receive more great news this cycle. VTVJ24 1
modesteffect Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Since Berkeley doesnt require GRE, I am expecting it received much more apps than normal. The similar story was confirmed by a Canadian top school. No GRE can make some applicants who are otherwise looking bad stand out. I know a couple of students got in top with shitty GREs last cycle.

I'm all over the place lol I was using US News as my primary source. I see in your signature that you have noted you received an interview request from Vandy. If you don't mind me asking, when did you get that notification?

I received the short-list interview invitation via email on Tuesday and interviewed yesterday. This happened much earlier than I had anticipated though. You probably also received the email sent prior to the application deadline indicating that they would conduct interviews during the first or second week of February, so I wouldn't worry too much.

This could give us a bit of an indication of when to expect the results. ? I gave them three possible time slots during the week and they chose one next Friday! AnotherPerspective 1

But damn, not receiving a short-list interview yet is disappointing. I did not think I had to worry about vanderbilt news yet ? In that email they said the committee wouldn't meet to discuss long short-lists until monday this week so I would've never thought interview emails would be going out as soon as tuesday anxietyandvibes 1
LatinAmericanFootball Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I think I'll die if Berkeley, Emory, UCSD, and Princeton + the programs that usually release results on early Feb all come out next week. smallcrown, qweraaa and bmo103 1 2

Yeah, I'm expecting next week to be really intense in that sense. I expect Princeton, Virginia, Northwestern and maybe NYU, Brown and others to publish their results next week. Nortwestern's page says that they don't publish all their results on the same day, but they seem to be behind previous cycles.
plus Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Princeton doesn’t release results in January. Check the past gradcafe threads, the January admissions are trolls. LatinAmericanFootball and bmo103 2
bmo103 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Another week of radio silence from every program I've applied to. What's the consensus on those Berkeley acceptance claims? Fake? Real?
LatinAmericanFootball Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I'm checking last year's thread after @plus's heads-up and it seems there were a bunch of fake Princeton and Berkeley results on late January, and the legit Berkeley results only came around Feb 8th. So my guess is they are fake indeed, possibly a single troll posting multiple acceptances. bmo103 and plus 2

Check the past gradcafe threads, the January admissions are trolls. You're right! I was cheking last cycle's thread and nobody claimed the late-January results. (If anyone wants to check: https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/126462-2020-2021-application-thread/#comments). One think I still don't get is why most universities don't publish admission offers and rejections at the same time. It seems unnecesary to me.
swanronson Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) I wonder if maybe it’s not that people are lying about the January admits, but that not everyone who posts on the main page frequents the forums. To me that makes more sense than people going on and lying every year ? Edited January 28, 2022 by swanronson AnotherPerspective 1

To me that makes more sense than people going on and lying every year ? That would be plausible if there would be an outlier or two every once in a while - but there isn't. These outliers only appear in February. And since for basically every other program there is at least a person or two posting in the forum but not for Princeton, that implies that there is something wrong with those claims.

So while getting an interview is a good thing, not getting one might just mean that your subfield is not doing them.
Avocado_town Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 There goes another Berkeley admission. They're starting to seem real to me. swanronson 1
honeymoow Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 My guess is that Princeton might come out tomorrow.

I really do think they are still conducting interviews. Hopefully we both hear good news from them soon!
