widefellow Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Some international student got accepted by phone! Congratulations and would u like to share more details? Thanks
bold_brew Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Looks like the second wave of rejections/acceptances went out tonight (midnight?).... and as my updated signature indicates, I didn't make the cut. :| Le sigh, two more schools to go. Come on... Virginia!
ewurgler Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I've still got nothin'... You are probably for sure on a waitlist now.
pico Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Anybody know when the recruitment day(s) for Northwestern are? I'd like to hear back one way or another before that... Edit: Oops, just noticed that this was answered earlier in the thread.
neutiquamerro Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Anybody know when the recruitment day(s) for Northwestern are? I'd like to hear back one way or another before that... April 1 and 2.
pico Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 April 1 and 2. Thanks. That conflicts pretty closely with Washington, unfortunately.
xiaoman Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Any more news on Northwestern? My admissions page STILL does not have a decision link. Good luck to everyone!
pico Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Any more news on Northwestern? My admissions page STILL does not have a decision link. Good luck to everyone! I'm in the same situation. Getting very tired of checking that page (but not so tired that wouldn't be depressed about a rejection ).
slothy Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Finally an official waitlist letter. They had a very roundabout way of saying it, though - we are unable to accept you at this time but we also don't want to reject you yet. Disappointing.
pico Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Finally an official waitlist letter. They had a very roundabout way of saying it, though - we are unable to accept you at this time but we also don't want to reject you yet. Disappointing. By post or email? I still have nothing, but that makes sense if you got it by post, because our mail almost always comes at least four days late...
xiaoman Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Damn, I have no email and no status change on my application page.
pico Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Damn, I have no email and no status change on my application page. Again, I'm in the same situation. My over-optimistic thought is that maybe the website only updates overnight... If I don't hear anything by tomorrow morning I think I'll contact the department.
hoobers Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I actually don't have anything on the website -- just the email. I have a feeling that the website only posts accepts/rejects.
pico Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I actually don't have anything on the website -- just the email. I have a feeling that the website only posts accepts/rejects. That's my thought: Today they accepted/rejected some people (like me and xiaoman), then sent an email to the rest that they're waitlisted. But if the site doesn't update immediately, then we'd end up with our current situation -- some people with official waitlist emails and some people with no new information at all.
xiaoman Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Still no decision link for me! I emailed the department a few days ago and have not heard back.
pico Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Still no decision link for me! I emailed the department a few days ago and have not heard back. me either... there goes my theory
pico Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I emailed, but I'll call probably tomorrow if I don't hear anything.
pico Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 got an email back today saying that they're still reviewing files and will update the site as they make decisions. At least that means my application didn't just fall through the cracks.
xiaoman Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Hmm, no one replied to my email, but perhaps I sent it to a different person than you did. Glad to know I'm not the only one in this situation!
drowsycat Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Finally an official waitlist letter. They had a very roundabout way of saying it, though - we are unable to accept you at this time but we also don't want to reject you yet. Disappointing. I'm also waitlisted... Do you have any idea about how many they have accepted and how many they have waitlisted? I emailed to ask but haven't got reply yet...
slothy Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I followed up with Jeremy when he sent the waitlist email and he was very helpful. He said that the waitlist is stratified by specialization, so they can't give you an exact idea of where you stand, but he'll give you a general idea of whether you're high or low.
