woahkay Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Hi all, I saw a doodle poll was sent out to someone on the results board for u Chicago. Has anyone else heard anything? Thanks!
UndergradDad Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Was it a doodle poll or a goldendoodle poll? Goldendoodles are more popular I think(sorry I had to do that). sadevilminion and taylorjunebug 2

I've read about other people applying to a bunch of schools and then their first response is a rejection, so it makes them afraid that maybe they'll get rejected by everyone. I definitely had that feeling for a good minute or two, but I know it'll be okay if I do happen to get shutout this year. I'll have learned a lot either way just from applying! forgottenworks and kpyjkh 2

My hope is that they are sending out decisions in small waves or according to specialities/areas of focus.

taylorjunebug Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Hey, did anyone else see the note from the latest Illinois Urbana-Champaign rejection on the results board? The person said they reached out to the Director of Admissions, who told them all offers had gone out already. I'm not sure if it's true, but, man, that's a bummer! Another one to cross off my list, I guess... Hard times!, theonewiththepies and illcounsel 3

UIUC is a big program, I thought more people would have reported being accepted or even waitlisted. Nonetheless, I’ll never get why programs wait to notify the rejects. Exactly! Why can't they send out rejections along with the acceptances? The only exceptions should be the waitlist perhaps, if at all! From what I have seen UIUC never sends out rejections until the second week of March--no idea why. Even if they have a waitlist I am sure not everyone other than the ones accepted is on the waitlist--that would be absurd! Implied rejections are far worse than actual rejections. Hope they send out more acceptances for those looking forward to the programme. theonewiththepies 1

It's hard to not feel old(er), especially coming out of undergrad "late," but I do feel like age is beneficial in regards to knowing more about oneself and allowing for a healthier mix of humility and confidence. I hope application committees see it that way as well! Have you mentioned this in your SoP? That's a winning line! Humility, yes! And the dearth of it in academia makes it invaluable!
HummusBaguette Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Hey, a tiny update: I received my rejection today from UC Berkeley (email to check the portal). So I assume that they just started sending out offers as well! Those who apllied at Berkeley: Good luck!! PlacingJane1994 1

There's a video in there where the diversity officer patiently explains that he does not know the status of any admissions decisions, though we can ask him, even though he—definitely—does not know. But feel free to ask! (???)
thecat00 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I'm definitely starting to become nervous, at least ever so slightly, as February is coming next week. I'm excited at the same time.

Same... Although I think I kind of wrote Maryland off a few weeks ago when I saw interview notices being posted on the results board. Maybe not definitive, because you never know, but the program did slide way down my wholly imaginary probability scale. Also I have more trouble navigating MD's app portal than any other portal, and that feels like a sign too, but only because everything feels like a sign these days. taylorjunebug 1

I saw those interview invites a few weeks ago and wrote off Maryland as well. In a weird way, it's helped me to not obsess over that app since I've basically been assuming it's a rejection. mostlygoo 1
