ezra123 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Has anyone heard back from Columbia for American? From results page, it seems like everything has been IR, CP, or Theory.
panama Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Hey do you guys have any idea when Stanford will release the outcome? It's quite late.

It was really early last year, but also pretty late 2 years ago. The date is really unpredictable for top departments like Stanford because we do not know how many applicants applied to them (and the # tends to vary a lot year by year). But I would say they will definitely release the result by the end of next week (probably similar time with Yale)! Edited February 10, 2016 by s1994 panama 1

Thanks If you can make it to Princeton WL, I am sure that your application has some strength that is eye-catching and really competitive. As long as your school list is long enough (and the fit is strong), I think you have a really good chance of getting an offer from a top-5. Good luck!

I already got rejected from Michigan today, but it was not a good fit. I really don't understand how this admission process works. Good luck.
wpg205 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I wouldn't say the admissions process works... I swear I'm not bitter.
Sbrail2 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Can anyone tell me how much stock Georgetown places on GRE scores? I feel that the fit would be great and that I have a very strong application overall with the exception of my GRE scores.

Hopeful57 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 @ezra123 I'm American for Columbia and found out about the waitlist this morning

I was admitted to Georgetown - I went to a grad fair that made it sound like they placed a ton of stock on GRE scores, but my quant score wasn't that great (156) and I was afraid it would really hurt me. My verbal was 163 though, so maybe that made up for it? It's always just a piece of the puzzle, and can depend on your fit with the faculty, etc.

Princeton is mine and after seeing so many admits, I'm shitting a total brick over here. I keep saying to myself it's not over until I get the official rejection email, but man do I hope that email never comes... Good luck - hopefully some people won't accept and you're up high on their list!

wb3060 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Have all the Georgetown acceptances been sent yet? Or are they still trickling out? Straussian Dogmatist 1

I think Rochester does not get that many applicants compared to other similarly-ranked schools, but at the same time it's not a large program either, so they would be hesitant to "over admit". So they might want to keep an implicit waitlist. It might also be they are not done sending out acceptances yet. Their visit day is quite late (first week of April), which would support this theory (or alternatively - they want admitted students to experience more of a spring rather than winter weather :))

Hopefully, they aren't just waiting a long time to reject me.
mmwithgradschool Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Is there anyone who is still waiting to hear back from NYU and others?? I know there are people who already heard back from these schools for either acceptances or rejections and I haven't heard back from most of the schools I applied. I really have no idea what this means... Can anyone enlighten me??? Edited February 11, 2016 by mmwithgradschool Straussian Dogmatist 1
Birdie Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Would it kill Georgetown to just freaking reject me already? Purgatory blows. Straussian Dogmatist 1

I feel the pain...I've been in the purgatory for quite some time now! It's bad how they keep us lot hanging while already inviting people for visitation weeks! Actually thinking of emailing all departments that I am yet to year from and asking for decisions! Edited February 11, 2016 by whatwasithinking
