NOWAYNOHOW Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 congrats Daykid! looks like a lot of programs are starting to respond. I have it on good measure that my first choice meets jan. 31 for the initial vetting of applicants, followed shortly after by department meetings.. Which school meets on the 31st? Gotta get that gossip going. daykid, danaofdoom and Jump 3
gradcat Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I just randomly checked the UT Austin website and it says I'm admitted!!!! I don't have any funding info yet. I still have a call with the 3 POIs on thursday so, I guess that is what we will be talking about! STOKED! That's amazing!!! Congratulations! daykid 1
strudelle Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Congratulations daykid! I'm so excited for everyone right now. daykid 1
Canis Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 A few more updates posted: two Emory interview invitations posted one update from Oregon State that adcom is meeting the first week of February
NoSleepTilBreuckelen Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Congrats daykid!! Hope they let you know about funding soon too!
daykid Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Thanks No Sleep! Did you hear from UTAustin? Did anyone else hear? Edited January 21, 2014 by daykid
Canis Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Two more updates just posted: Duke: interview Notre Dame: not an acceptance Anyone else heard from Duke or Notre Dame? Anyone apply?
Canis Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 More Emory and Notre Dame results coming in... So far, schools with Dec 1st and Dec 15th deadlines are starting to report back, it seems.
monfemme Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I got an Emory invite and am jumping around the bedroom! Canis, pears and Jump 3
dtpowis Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Congratulations! Still waiting patiently for mine.
sharalaxp Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I got an Emory invite and am jumping around the bedroom! Also got the Emory invite! I am PMing you, monfemme
jellyfish1 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Congratulations to everyone with good news!!! Yay!! Based on a brief results search, it appears that schools are notifying within a day or two of when they did last year. (I checked Emory, Illinois, and WashU). UT Austin was a week earlier than last year. But basically schools seem to stay consistent, it seems. Exciting times!!!
Forsaken in LA Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Which school meets on the 31st? Gotta get that gossip going. Not to betray my POI's confidence, but it's been extremely cold there as of late... ...and it sounds like U of Tobago.
letmein14 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Does anyone know what to expect from Yale and Harvard this year? According to previous posts, it looks like we'll still be waiting another month….
NoSleepTilBreuckelen Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Hey daykid, I sent you a PM! No, I haven't heard. I thought I was being ridiculous my application statuses for various schools thinking, surely they know how tormented I am by this waiting and any department would let me know before updating the website, but your post has given me renewed hope in checking application websites, so there goes the next half hour… Edited January 22, 2014 by NoSleepTilBreuckelen
novacancy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, I hope to do a little more posting now that results are starting to pour in... Some points of interest on my end: - My Stanford application still reads that I haven't submitted official transcripts, despite a few e-mails (that went unanswered). My status reads "marked complete for reviewing purposes," so I suppose that's okay. Based on previous GradCafe threads, this seems to be a trend. Anyone else in this boat? - My UCLA (Cotsen Institute) decision page has... changed. I'm no longer able to click on my application for details. Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but this could mean the reviewing process has started? That's it for now, I think. Happy thoughts, everyone! Quick side note: Forsaken in LA, we both have John Goodman as avatars. That is neat. Edited January 22, 2014 by xstopfloating Forsaken in LA 1

If it helps, I got the official email a few hours later from the department and then an email from the graduate school to check the website that evening.
MPollywog Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Letmein14 - I have no idea about Yale but I was told that Harvard will be meeting at the end of this month. I was given the impression that admissions are determined more by individual professors as opposed to a whole admissions committee. The person I spoke with didn't know exactly when admissions notifications will be sent out but I'm assuming it will be around mid-February.
jellyfish1 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Xstopfloating- my Stanford application says exactly the same thing as yours. At least they're being reviewed, I guess? novacancy 1
letmein14 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 MPollywog- Harvard GSAS starts spring semester on the 27th. I wonder if faculty start looking at apps the week prior?
MPollywog Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Letmein14 - I spoke with a professor from Harvard at the beginning of this month and he already had a copy of my application. I don't know if the whole department had already started looking at applications or if he decided to on his own accord, but I know they've all had access to our applications since the end of December.
letmein14 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 MPollywog- Yikes! I still have a recommender who has only "started" his letter, but he is my fourth. The other three have already submitted. What you said makes sense though.
