Strange that so few people have reported NYU admits. It's almost as if NYU read this forum and decided to notify @IndEnth and I ASAP because we were both so sad yesterday. (Okay I know that didn't happen but anyway :ph34r:

How I would love that story. Especially if they did something about my sadness. :unsure:

I was also among the Berkeley rejects.  Also, got wait listed at NYU.  Seems there are at least a few of us. Definitely don't know what to make of it, but it is definitely better than nothing.

Hi everybody! Has anybody heard from the University of Chicago? I hear some did, others didn't. I don't know what to make of it. My application page hasn't changed at all. So any help would be great!

Ditto, in the same boat and wondering the same thing.

@abed @mwcain Chicago notifying some, not notifying others is in line with their past process. It means, with great likelihood, that those who have not heard have been rejected from the phd program. Sorry to the bearer of bad news. Do what you want with the information, but I'm counting it as a rejection and moving on.

That makes sense, I was just looking at past results from Chicago and counting it as a rejection (or at best a wait list) seems like the most probable option. Many of the rejected students from previous years seem to have been accepted to the MAPSS program or CIR MA program at the University with varying degrees of financial aid, so perhaps the delayed response for rejections has to do with secondary consideration for those Masters programs.

Most likely. If so, congrats!

I really wish to get an offer today, after being rejected by Berkeley, and hearing nothing from Duke and Chicago (which = rejections) ... 

Hopefully I can get in UCSD!

It's really super weird that UCSD would send out rejections before thei make offers. First time I'm hearing of a university doing that.

(Not personally affected though, didn't apply. Sorry though that not everyone here made it in, it's a good school.)

Also weird that the rejections were out around 2am in California...

My question now is: after a Northwestern rejection and a highly probable rejection from NYU, how much of a chance could I have with my Ivy League applications?

( ) None
( ) No way in hell
( ) What were you thinking?
( ) Why bother, let's drink!
( ) Hope is the last to die. Wait for it.

( ) There might still be a chance. Don't know your profile, but it could be that NU and NYU did not deem you to have good fit but other schools will.

Yeah. I am telling myself this, but perhaps now is the time when one sees only weak spots in one's profile. But, hey, stranger things have happened.
