ohhemingway Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 There's also a few there for Madison -- also seem pretty personalized -- and I wonder if we should expect any more of those.

philstudent1991 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 On 2/11/2014 at 1:03 AM, perpetualapplicant said: From what I remember from last year, Arizona has a short and an extended wait list. They only initially email people on the short list, but do not reject people on the extended list just in case. However, it's extremely unlikely that those on the extended list will be made an offer: I'd treat it as a rejection for practical purposes, and be very pleasantly surprised if it turns out otherwise. Ok, but if this were the case wouldn't there still be some rejections? The people that didn't make any list at all?

The people that didn't make any list at all? Sadly no. If I recall correctly from last year, they reject some people in their first round internally, and those who make the second round but are not offered a spot or a position at the top of the wait list comprise the extended wait list. But they do not send out rejections to either the internally rejected or the extended wait-list until after the class is full.

(It would look nicer on a horizontal layout, but the blog has a different structure, so the vertical layout is understandable). Thanks. I agree, regarding the horizontal layout. I'm thinking about reformatting the entire blog. The current structure is limiting. On 2/11/2014 at 2:45 AM, DHumeDominates said: This is immensely helpful. (One correction: at least some Arizona wait lists have gone out.) I'm surprised that so few rejections have gone out at this point. You and ianfaircloud deserve Olympic gold! ... K, that was cheesy and unforgiveable. Thanks, and congratulations on the Arizona wait-list. I'm very jealous. DHumeDominates 1

Replying to myself: I know one person who will almost certainly be passing on an offer to Arizona, on account of a better offer (for this person, at least) at a top-ten. So that should free up a spot. I probably shouldn't say anything about this person's AOIs. DHumeDominates and Vardan_Mkhitaryan 2

ta_pros_to_telos Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I think getting into Chicago's MAPH would soften the rejection a bit for me, but I appreciate that others don't feel the same way.
Gnothi_Seauton Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I like the new blog layout, ianfaircloud!
elipo Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Does anyone want to claim the second NYU acceptance?
alexandermeehan Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I can claim that, elipo. I applied to eleven schools, and NYU is the first one I've heard back from. I am still in disbelief. I really had no expectations, as my writing sample was a bit.... unorthodox? Best of luck, everyone! Vardan_Mkhitaryan 1

StillWaiting13 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I just got an unofficial acceptance into UIC today by phone. Pretty excited. Im also scheduled for an skype interview for Penn state this week. Last year, I got nothing, this year I feel I won the lottery. PerpetualApplicant No More 1

dgswaim Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Any guesses on whether today will show a dearth of results such as we saw yesterday?
philosophe Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Personally, I'm hoping for Indiana to release today or tomorrow. warrior3 1
