Anyone know anything about Columbia, NYU, Princeton?

[shadesofblue]

I know they have the day off today but I am begging to hear back from UCSB and UCSC ?

I think so-- I saw some acceptances and waitlist entries. Plus, I was waitlisted myself. I don't know if they sent out rejections yet though. 

when i applied last year, they sent out my rejection preeetty late. like, a couple of weeks to a month after they sent out acceptances. i think that's how it will be again this year.

Just received the rejection from JHU a few minutes ago. Good luck to every one!

Has anyone here got a rejection/waitlist/ or acceptance from the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign? I was put on the waitlist at the beginning of January but couldn't see anyone else's results.

Hey! I was accepted to UIUC back in early Jan

Saw a bunch of JHU rejection posts but nothing about acceptances. Anyone know if they are sending out rejections first (seemingly in reverse of what most programs are doing)?

Just got waitlisted at Brandeis. Third waitlist for me, after two rejections, with zero offers at this point. Five more to hear back from but at this rate my faith in myself is severely plummeting.

Good luck to anyone else waiting to hear back from Brandeis, it sounds like it's going to be a small cohort this year!

[esMarie17]

At this point, can I assume if I haven't heard back from UMass Amherst or BU, that I've been rejected? Part of me would simply like to accept the offer that I have so that the university can move forward and I can start planning. I don't want the folx that are waitlisted for the fellowship that I was offered to wait in limbo for longer than they have to. 

Cautions against my eagerness?

Same here, hugs! Zero offer yet, two waitlisted including Brandeis. Prayer to both of us?

You should definitely reach out to them and ask about their admission decisions before you make your own, at least from my perspective, especially if one of them is your first or better choice than the one you already received.

from what i understand—after now going through the process twice—is that rescinding an offer isn't as uncommon as it is "taboo." some universities don't get back to applicants until right before or (sometimes even right after) the april 15th deadline to let them known they have been taken off their waitlist. most universities try to not let that happen, but it happens virtually every cycle. i wouldn't even necessarily say it's taboo, rather just inconvenient. you don't get your deposit back at the university at which you are accepting the offer + it will more than likely have some departments notifying potential fillers late, but that is what the process is. read through your contract to see if there is anything in there that hinders you from potentially rescinding the offer should you choose to and go from there. in my opinion, i think it would be wise to wait until mid-march to formally accept an offer, but some people like to plan well ahead (i'm already looking for apartments near my current top choice) and that's fine.

[michigan girl]

I agree with the above poster. I plan to make my decision sometime in mid-to-late March after I have compared all offers. It's very important to have all the information to make an informed decision. Sometimes, many fellowship awards don't become available until late March.

Seems like a slow day. Fingers crossed for Columbia and Northwestern info this week

Anyone claiming the NYU offer posted on the results page??

Congratulations! May I ask if it was an email from a professor of interest or was it from the director of graduate studies? Also, if you don’t mind sharing your general research area

Tough scene today. Has anyone heard from UVA? I saw a post about someone being accepted into a 2 year masters... but I thought UVA didn't have a stand-alone MA program. 

[pnuts]

Hi, I can confirm that UVA, Columbia, NYU (from DGS) PhD offers have gone out.

[haptomato]

Anyone heard from Penn State? I saw few acceptances but other than those, it has been radio silent ?

Edited February 22, 2023 by haptomato

[cdistrict]

Does anyone know anything about Columbia? Looks like one acceptance and just saw post here confirming. Do they do rolling?

[cdistrict]

Also anyone know about the NYU waitlist size/chances of getting off?
