Decision 3 weeks late

[Sociograd]

Hi everyone:

I applied to the Sociology program at UW-Madison. According to the results survey, acceptances and rejections were sent out between Feb 2nd and Feb 8th. I still have not heard anything and the graduate school application still says "pending". I'm likely going to find out tomorrow where I am at. Does anybody have any thoughts on what may be happening? Has anybody experienced something like this in the past?

several possibilities:

1. they send out their decisions in waves.

2. you are waitlisted and they won't bother to tell you one way or the other until all previous acceptances offers made have been replied to.

3. what no one ever wants to think: your application is incomplete or got lost.
