lordvader Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I did not apply to Pitt, but a woman in my Master's program found out today that she was admitted to Pitt with full funding. I am not sure if all the decisions went out today though. I hope that is helpful! thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodywithoutorgans Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Am I looking in the wrong place when searching the status of my application? I am seeing Status: Submitted on many of them (more specifically, on the ApplyYourself apps). Is there another place to look? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirlibird Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 ^ Hang in there; this ain't over yet. It ain't over 'til it's over! And we don't need no stinking badges! What are some other ones to throw in...uh... Of course I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley. You. Shall not. PASS! All right, I'm done. Sometimes just being ridiculous is, I think, the best course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedance Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yep, I have the same question. For Duke, where we should check our status or just ApplyYourself. They emailed me an Identification Number, but I don't know whether I need it to check status? Thank you~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you~~ I can't speak to the Duke application, but in past years a new button is added once the decision becomes available. Also, as per Northwestern (their emphasis): Once an admission decision has been rendered on your application, a "View Decision" link will appear below. If no "View Decision" link is listed on this page, an admission decision has not yet been rendered on your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brent09 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Why are you so pessimistic? You're in at some fantastic schools. Well, we all want the maximum number of options. If Duke and Vanderbilt are "no", that makes me think Wisconsin was more a fluke. In that case, the other top-15 programs I applied to look more like "probable no" today than they did a couple days ago. Can't win them all -- we all recognize that. Still doesn't stop the rejections from stinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked out Google Alerts, but it doesn't seem to have an option of notifying me whenever someone searches for a certain term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has applied to schools that haven't notified yet, I would be feeling infinitely better if I had one acceptance, even if it was a "fluke." I'm jealous of you, brent09....enjoy your acceptance at a wonderful school, and I'm sure more will follow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
