chaetzli Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Congrats RiffRam! Great news! More green please!
Titot Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 University of Washington admission! I've been contacted by email. My POI has told me that I've been accepted and that I'll receive official email-letter in the following days. My first admission (UTexas rejection and waiting for UNC's decision after having an interview last week). Although I've no news from UNC yet, I'm pretty sure that I'll be going to UW.

Cesare Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Looking at previous cycles, Northwestern has a tendency of sending out rejections over a few days...
Littlej8 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Is anyone still waiting to hear back from UNC? You all think they are done and sending out reject notifications?
RiffRam Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Is anyone still waiting to hear back from UNC? You all think they are done and sending out reject notifications? I'm still waiting to hear something, although I'm sure it will be a reject at this point.
CGMJ Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Looking at previous cycles, Northwestern has a tendency of sending out rejections over a few days... Yes...that seems odd, no? Edited February 20, 2013 by CGMJ
Cesare Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Yes...that seems odd, no? It seems to be the "it" thing to do in the midwest. If we compare what is going on at other schools in the area (for example, there are still tons of people who haven't heard from Minnesota or Chicago despite the fact that acceptances and rejections have been sent out), it is completely normal.

Dark-Helmed Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Is anyone still waiting to hear back from UNC? You all think they are done and sending out reject notifications? I'm still waiting. More than half-tempted to email and ask to be put out of my misery.
ahandphd Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 In at ASU! It's great to get some good news after 3 straight rejects! Congrats!!!
rkmattson Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 It seems to be the "it" thing to do in the midwest. If we compare what is going on at other schools in the area (for example, there are still tons of people who haven't heard from Minnesota or Chicago despite the fact that acceptances and rejections have been sent out), it is completely normal. Maybe, but it seems reasonable for UChicago 'cause we know that there's the bumping of your application to the MA program if your app isn't accepted in the first round. As for Minnesota - I think people who are still waiting should call because it could be a waitlist thing or they could've forgotten names on the mass email (like how Cornell forgot to send me mine until I asked for it). However, the spreading out of rejections over three consecutive days seems both like a waste of time (clearly the decisions have been made since they've already sent out acceptances) and unnecessarily anxiety inducing. Anywho, you'd think by now schools would have realized that with online forums like GradCafe it'd save them a heck of a lot of time in responding to emails and calls if they just posted everything on the same day!

summerecho Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Any news from UCSC? The application status page tells me that admission decisions will be sent out throughout the month of March, but it looks like some people were accepted already. Edited February 20, 2013 by summerecho
aspiring Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Hi All, I've been dropping in on this thread the last few weeks (re:lurker), but I admit I'm still a bit confused as to how the waitlisting aspect of the response process works. Could someone clarify/affirm/explain... Assuming that both acceptances and rejections have already gone out (based on the posts here), if one does not receive an outright rejection letter does that necessarily mean that one has been waitlisted? (barring, as someone noted, the (hopefully unusual) instance in which they have forgotten to add your name to that mass rejection email). Will the message center of these websites say "waitlisted"? Or is that something one finds out only by calling? I suppose I'm just wondering about how exactly this 'waitlist business' works...
balledematch Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 So I was just thinking a few minutes ago...damn, it would be really cool to get into Princeton after all these rejections. Did I just jinx it? Wemayet 1
student90210 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I got an interview via phone and I was wondering how to prepare for it? What should I expect?
GopherGrad Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I suppose I'm just wondering about how exactly this 'waitlist business' works... My understanding is that notification (or not) and admissions from the list are pretty school-dependent. Really what it boils down to is that nothing for you has changed. There is no decision and you just need to wait longer. It signals that the program considers you very well qualified, but we all know by now that's not enough.
clangeroo Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I surrendered and nudged Minnesota. I feel so guilty, I know they're busy, but ahhh! Cesare 1
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I'm still waiting. More than half-tempted to email and ask to be put out of my misery. If you do, let us know. I'm tempted to write, but choosing not to. As long as I haven't been rejected there's still hope.
