I am mainly choosing from Columbia and Duke for now, and I am waiting for the waitlist from Yale. I think I am mainly looking at their placement records and fit with me for sure...but definitely hard decisions to make

[Obscurepun]

Getting rejections over the course of this month feels like the “that’s enough slices” meme lol

Claiming Columbia as well. CP.

[chairman mao]

[Fellowpigeon]

First an email "check the portal". I thought: oh boy, here we go.

But it was the acceptance haha

The emails from the DGS + GSAS came a little later...

Did anybody get a rejection from Columbia? I'm trying to figure out if not hearing anything means wait listed or rejected.

Could be either, no rejections out yet

From the previous cycles (at least according to what is recorded on GradCafe), it seems that they release the rejects and the wait lists a week after. It would be safe to assume it as a rejection, but there is still hope that it can be a wait list.

Anyone know what’s happening with UCLA and UCSD? It didn’t seem like either had full results out but I may be mistaken.

no clue, seems as though UCSD sent out all there acceptances but LA not fully? idk 

[Obscurepun]

@chairman mao it won’t let me reply- but it looks like UCSD rejections and a few wait lists also came out. I haven’t seen anything yet so a bit confused. I applied to the Joint Program and Public Policy so maybe that’s why no update?

[Obscurepun]

@chairman mao Super helpful - thank you for sharing! Did they give any sense of timing?

Will probably come out no later than next week, possibly this week. Last we heard in this space was that results should come out around the 3rd week of february. Dunno if it means this week or the next. 

[coffeeman123]

Any idea on when UPenn results will come out?

dunno, but you may get an idea here (although it is not super good for prediction, it may be the best tool we have):

Edit to summarise:

So far we heard nothing on: Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, UPenn. There's a bunch of places that seem to have sent only a fraction of results. I also don't recall seeing anything on MSU, Pittsburgh, UMD (but might be forgetting something), Johns Hopkins (only an interview), UGA, UC-Boulder, Rutgers, Iowa, Riverside, Syracuse. I think there was something on UC Davis, but not sure.

I think it is safe to say we should expect Cornell next week and UPenn for the first week of March. For JHU, it might be within 10 days (within these two days or the coming week).

[Obscurepun]

@politicallygradOof- first week in March? That’s painful. I was under the impression acceptances all came in February so we could wipe our hands clean come March with visits, if any. Are Stanford and Harvard also that late do you know? I was counting on end of Feb.
