ColtonLong Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Well done! So much for Sunday being safe Edit: A Notre Dame interview on the page now too.. didn't think they did them. Slightly confused about that too...I've received nothing, either way. Also wasn't aware ND conducted interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mseph Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Just checked my application status for Wisconsin and I'm in! Checked mine after reading this post and mine still says "pending." I am assuming that this pretty much means a rejection by now for UW-Madison... By the way, congratulations PrincipalAgent and everyone who got in!

I am assuming that this pretty much means a rejection by now for UW-Madison... By the way, congratulations PrincipalAgent and everyone who got in! I know it's difficult [i'm inclined to assume the same about my own pending status], but I wouldn't be quite so quick to assume a rejection--per the search, no one else appears to have received any sort of notice in either direction from UW-M. Furthermore, at least in years past, the department emailed those they accepted on the Monday which corresponds to tomorrow. wcsy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful21 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Worst thing about living in Asia throughout this whole process is that when people say things like "results will probably be up by Monday," I read the comment on our Monday get all excited and then realize oh wait, it means Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning for us! LOL Congrats to everyone who have received admissions results so far! And all the best to everyone like me, still waiting! It's not that long to go now!

Duvergerian Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) From Wisconsin: "Your program has recommended you for admission. The Graduate School will be reviewing your file.

You have to click "Enter" after the Grad Application Status page, or at least I did. Then again, I'm not actually accepted yet, so... EDIT: Sorry for the double post.

testingtesting Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) That's what I have... Yeah, the 'application status update' page has no status. I found the same admission status on mine (recommended for admission) - 1 for 1 on applications! Edited January 26, 2015 by testingtesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARealDowner Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have that as well...does anyone who's applied to UW not have it? Or is it just a poorly worded generic message relaying that your file is still being considered? testingtesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just a poorly worded generic message relaying that your file is still being considered? I think it is typical for state universities to rely on their centralized graduate admissions center to verify that transcripts are accurate etc. Usually the department does not make the admission decision, but rather the graduate admissions center - technically the department makes recommendations. I will cry if I ended up not getting in...DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY MADISON?!!! DO YOU?!!! EDIT: From the admissions site: "If you are recommended for admission by your program, this will be noted as an “update” within the status check section of MyUW. At this point the program will send your transcript(s) to the Graduate School for final review...The Graduate School admissions staff will review your application once they have received your official transcript(s). They make final admissions based on minimum requirements." Edited January 26, 2015 by testingtesting Duvergerian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facade19 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Well, it appears that WM and MSU have certainly passed on me in light of all the wonderful information floating around here. It certainly stings. Congratulations to all who got accepted. Edited January 26, 2015 by Facade19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartori Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I want Stanford results later, since it's my top choice, so that either the Monte Carlo fallacy or the Hot Hand fallacy kicks in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That something is a mix of desperation, impatience and imagination mind.......... If I recall, Stanford makes decisions mid-February. I wonder if my charitable donation to Stanford is tax-exempt when I get rejected? The big programs for this week are Duke and WUSTL Next week are Penn State, NYU, UChicago, Berkeley, Rochester, Pitt, UCLA, Texas, Cornell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldReekie Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Anybody hear from Notre Dame? Nope.. from the results page it looks like they do sometimes interview. It's not clear if they do so across the board though. Edited January 26, 2015 by AuldReekie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidsnake Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have a question regarding wait- lists, since this is my first cycle I don’t how the procedure works, so do schools always inform applicants about their wait list decisions or they just keep being silent till their final call?

BigTenPoliSci Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have a question regarding wait- lists, since this is my first cycle I don’t how the procedure works, so do schools always inform applicants about their wait list decisions or they just keep being silent till their final call? It varies. In my cycle a few years ago Pitt put me on an official wait list, while two others schools stayed silent long after their waves of acceptances and rejections went out. I am pretty sure that the latter two were unofficial wait lists. P. S. None of those turned into offers later. The percentage of people getting plucked off of wait lists seems to be pretty low. mooneyed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, so not getting a rejection reply in proper time more or less means you are on an unofficial waiting list i guess.
