Littlej8 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 What do we have hopes of coming out today beyond Yale? What about Michigan State? I am very surprised they have not come out with decisions by now. Thought they would be one of the first I'd hear from. Anyone have some inside knowledge on them?

upam Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Eeeeeeeveryone. No, but I really would love UVa to finish up their first main wave of admits today. Perhaps more news on Stanford? Also, @upam, you have had one hell of a cycle so far, if you don't mind me saying. Congrats on the spread. Thanks so much! Definitely lucky to be happy with my options regardless of what else comes out. (And rationally, this is probably my set - just lucky to have heard good news at the outset.)

Quigley Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I would really love to just get closure on UCLA before the weekend. Are most public universities open on Presidents Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runner12 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I know it's an extreme long shot in terms of getting in, but any clue on when Stanford GSB's PhD decisions are coming out? (Did anyone else here apply to the GSB program?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyUSofWhatever Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Same for me as far as Cornell and UNC go. I'd second this for Cornell and all of the other places I haven't heard from (Texas, Berkeley, don't think I've forgotten). If I have to hear a bunch of rejections in one day, then bring it - I'd rather rip off a band-aid than slowly peel it away. It should be a fireworks-filled day on the results page either way, so good luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their graduate secretary did not answer. Maybe they are busy preparing more acceptances? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the graduate secretary didn't answer the phone, but when reading your post I had in my mind a comical scene of someone asking the question you would have posed and then just hearing silence on the other end - made me laugh a little.

I can confirm that she did not answer. :-) Frankly, I could see the other scenario happening as well. I cannot help but feel great empathy for these secretaries. Who would want to deal with the likes of us every season? ;-) MyUSofWhatever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmoomm Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Long time lurker here. I called Chicago this morning and Kathy Anderson answered. I didn't ask about an individual application, as previous posts indicated that this information was not available. But she cheerfully told me that there were STILL answers coming out "this week" and "a few as late as next week." Obviously a new and untested member, but I thought I'd try to keep hope alive nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any precedent for Chicago spreading out their acceptances over this length of time? Unless of course by "answers" she just means rejections/acceptances to CIR/MAPSS.

Is there any precedent for Chicago spreading out their acceptances over this length of time? Unless of course by "answers" she just means rejections/acceptances to CIR/MAPSS. Chicago seems to send a slew of rejections on one day in late Feb/early March and a series of MAPSS/CIR letters/PhD rejections the next day. I asked about acceptances and she responded that "answers" were still to be revealed this week/next. Perhaps it's wishful thinking or projection, but that didn't read straight up rejections to me. I guess it means that they're breaking from their normal routine regardless and we're just left to wonder whether that means spacing out acceptances and waitlists or throwing up rejections a couple weeks early. Edit: Having a think about it, the actual question I asked was whether all of the acceptances had gone out yet, and her answer was no, with the additional information following. So I'd say that the pattern shift is toward the acceptance/wait list spread. Edited February 15, 2013 by pmoomm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanQuant Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Have any of the Berkeley admits received any written correspondence (either by email or snail mail) from the department? I got calls from POIs, but am hesitant to book airline tickets without something in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
