s1994 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Who's the UCSD admit? I still haven't heard anything ...

No, she did not say anything about others, except that emails with funding and other details will be coming on Monday. I don't know if everyone will be getting called or not.

Well, I think that is not bad news for me yet because I highly doubt any department will contact me by phone. Why spend the international call? Here's hoping...
ezra123 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 It's very strange how some applicants are arbitrarily notified -- some by phone, some by e-mail, some via the website, some not at all -- even within departments and subfields.

It really just depends on the POI. However, if you see a wave of rejects/acceptances on the survey page -- That probably signifies that the department has sent out these formulaic (yet formal!) decisions
wb3060 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 So if departments do phone calls, is it always a POI?

ezra123 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Bit of a slow Friday. Any word on decisions likely to be released next week?

My guesses are: Michigan~90% UCSD~100% (should be a chunk of acceptances mixed with a few rejects/WL) WashU~80% Columbia~50% Cornell~50% Stanford~50% Princeton~70% Yale~20% IndEnth 1
IndEnth Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I still haven't gotten my Chicago rejection yet. Not that I'm particularly keen on it, but it seems odd to send out rejections so much later than admits...

What's not (officially) out yet is the waitlist
IndEnth Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Yup. I realise that the admits are out. That's why it seems odd that two days later, the rejects still aren't. If it weren't for this forum, we'd all still be hoping.

If it weren't for this forum, we'd all still be hoping. Chicago didn't send out rejections until March last year. Duke hasn't sent out rejections either. It's pretty normal.

I got on the Chicago waitlist...but given their acceptance rate this time I'm not hopeful
moe8 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Just received a UCSD admittance, after a UC Berkeley rejection and (probably?) NYU rejection. I am ecstatic!

By "just", do you mean you just got the email? Or did you just check your emails? Edited February 5, 2016 by s1994
ultraultra Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Just got an acceptance from UCSD! Honestly pretty surprised as I thought it was a bad fit, but apparently they thought differently.
