jcauteru Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I saw on the results forum a few notifications via the postal service and a few via the "website." Any idea how admission decisions are sent? Mail? Is the status updated on the apply-yourself site (it is the only website I know of for the application)? Can't seem to find any info on the admission department's site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statsfrommaths Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's both: they send you a letter and also update the page. It's actually slightly difficult to spot on the webpage (I guess the letter is easy to spot in your mailbox at least!), but yeah it's on the apply-yourself site.

Could you tell us where the update is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statsfrommaths Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Probably the same for me as you guys. After the login page, you get a page with this stuff: GSAS Application something something LORs Decision Status Available beginning 2/6/2013 Your application decision is here, click me etc etc Supplemental Data something something It's not actually in red of course, but that's where the decision goes, under your letter writers' details, and above your supplemental data thing.

Shostakovich Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I think the notification is done in a similar manner for all the schools that use apply-yourself. Seems to me they update the website and send you an email to check the site around the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcauteru Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I know Yale is doing this way, but I haven't received any email from Harvard so far. The Yale site looks to be the same as Harvard's for me. No emails, no status change, no mystery rows. If you haven't seen anything yet from Harvard (or Yale for that matter) I wouldn't say it is necessarily a bad thing at this point. My friend gave me some good advice the other day, "Don't really freak out until the first week in March." If you look at the acceptance patterns (at least for Harvard) from last year, his advice seems to be more or less on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge, it seems that people who have received emails were all rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
