Kirialax Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Princeton is closed today, so the chances of decisions from here is very low today. Is this a weather-related thing?
New England Nat Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Yeah, ice storm has brought trees down all over town. They were already under stress because of snow on Monday.
levoyous Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 NYU is open. All schools in Boston are closed.
Safferz Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I believe Harvard sent out acceptances today. A prospective student who had been in touch with me during the process was notified today.
A Finicky Bean Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 So if I haven't heard anything from GW, OSU and Northwestern, what should I think? I figure this stands that I have been rejected? The sites all say that my app is either "pending" or "in review". Advice?
djp2 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Harvard does seem to be open today. Nothing on the results board from Harvard though (and nothing in my inbox...sob.) Wouldn't this be a bit early for them anyway?
APBrown Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 If there is anyone here that applied to Vanderbilt, I talked to my POI on Tuesday, January 21. He said that faculty recommendations were due by Wednesday although he was unclear if he meant the next day or the following Wednesday. He said that the graduate committee would meet within a week of that and then decisions would be sent out shortly after. Assuming my POI is correct, the Vanderbilt graduate committee should have either met last week or this week. Therefore, stay tuned for decisions from Vanderbilt hopefully within the next week or two.
Whatishistoryanyway Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 So if I haven't heard anything from GW, OSU and Northwestern, what should I think? I figure this stands that I have been rejected? The sites all say that my app is either "pending" or "in review". Advice? I'd like to know about the osu status as well. Mine still says pending and the dgs didn't respond to my email. I'm assuming rejection at this point. It was number one on my list, but it looks like I will be pursuing my other options.

Wouldn't this be a bit early for them anyway? Harvard has a faculty meeting scheduled today. Could be a POI was very eager to notify. But yes, historically that's early for them.

ReallyNiceGuy Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I wish I had some way to filter my emails so that I wouldn't get excited for new messages only to find some invitation to some event I've never heard of. thedig13 1
levoyous Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I wish I had some way to filter my emails so that I wouldn't get excited for new messages only to find some invitation to some event I've never heard of. I'm on some university listservs, and those are heart-stopping.
levoyous Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Well, there's the Berkeley massacre. poofysheep, KingKazama5, samsales and 1 other 4
A Finicky Bean Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Well, there's the Berkeley massacre. Right? I just refreshed and I was like, holy crap! thedig13 1
tenguru Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Yeah, that hurt. That was my first official response.
silentbirds Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Wow. I am so glad I didn't apply to Berkeley! ...and *hugs* Edited February 5, 2014 by silentbirds
catsandscarves Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I'm on some university listservs, and those are heart-stopping. Totally agree with this and what ReallyNiceGuy said above. I was thinking of inseatd of avoiding my email just have it go off on my phone when I get something ( I don't currently have my university email hooked into my phone other than if I go on the browser to access it). Then I decided that if I did that, I would be more anxious because my phone would buzz all the time due to conference planning committees and all of the listservs I am on. So I decided that just checking at certain times is best. However, when I see all the unread messages, I always HOPE something is buried there ha
kdavid Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Could the individual who had the UC Irvine interview please PM me?
tampopo ramen Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I believe Harvard sent out acceptances today. A prospective student who had been in touch with me during the process was notified today. Hm. I would be very interested to know whether this notification came from a POI excited to inform their prospective student or if this was part of Harvard's mass admissions.
NorthernLights Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Santa Barbara update: Their office told me 'no final decisions yet, but letters should start going out next week.' tenguru 1
catsandscarves Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Santa Barbara update: Their office told me 'no final decisions yet, but letters should start going out next week.' I have a friend that already has a fellowship offer from there. Got it early last week just an FYI.
johnnycomelately Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Anyone else apply to UCSD? Just wondering....
skylarking Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 A friend of mine has, but they haven't heard anything back yet
catsandscarves Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 A friend of mine has, but they haven't heard anything back yet same!
kdavid Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Anyone else apply to UCSD? Just wondering.... I did. I spoke with one of the heads of the Chinese History department via phone on January 20. At that time, he seemed to think it would be mid- to late-February before decisions were finalized.
