Is that weird? Should I email him? I'm leaning towards accepting this offer, but I'm not really sure what to do. Email him, I did it for one of mines, he responded very quickly anxietygirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure whether they have a waitlist from which they pick students should an admitted student not accept their offer. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthrostudentcyn Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 For anyone who is wonder: NYU told me they are "still making admissions decisions". I kind of doubt that, as accepted students day is this weekend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that the "accepted students day" is designed to woo competitive applicants that were applying to top-10 programs and that there are still decisions pending lots of different variables such as yield, funding, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhDudette Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 If you are interested in that period, you may be in luck with them soon! I am also that period. I did not go through an interview but received an informal offer, so no need to worry about the not-being-called-for-an-interview part. The other poster is correct, they seem to check in periodically with a candidate to see whether they think they will accept (presumably) to make sure they are maximizing the number of offers that they can make. Since they do this, they end up basically contacting students on a rolling basis through February, it seems. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure a lot of us feel this way, but I really just want to know all my results. Still waiting to hear from a bunch of schools. I will never get why schools take so long to inform the rejects, in today's email age. Just send out an email blast already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there are some schools that I'm willing to bet that there are graduate committees haven't even met yet. I can't even imagine the nightmare of scheduling everyone, getting feedback from POI on applicants, etc. Edited February 18, 2016 by HinH clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoriana Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi nightfarmer and anyone else who is still anxiously waiting to hear back from Indiana University, I just received an email from the DGS in response to the inquiry I sent earlier. Apparently the department is very much still working on admissions and funding, and probably will be for "several weeks." Happily for me, the DGS wrote that he expects IU will be able to offer me admission and multi-year financial aid(!), but to judge from his email, most of their decisions and especially funding details are not yet finalized. In short, in this case no news may in fact be very good news and, on the other hand, we can anticipate up to a few more weeks of waiting. fortsibut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High-5 for North Carolinians in Indiana. I'm hoping and assuming they wouldn't tell us this unless they were all but certain about their ability to offer admission.
