bluefoxblue Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 There's still time and other places friend. We would get too sunburnt in Santa Barbara anyway.
nowayjose Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 How many offers will a top school send out that accepts 6-10 applicants a year? Roughly? 20? 30?

I'm sure it depends on the school because they probably work from data on their typical 'yield' of acceptances, but the stats for the schools I applied to suggest they accept around 2 to 2.5x their ideal incoming cohort as a first wave, then keep a few more on unofficial/official wait lists. faculty 1

Given the acceptance dates from the past three years on the results board, I wasn't expecting to see any movement until the 28th or after.

Yes, would the person accepted care to share whether it was a personalized email from their POI or more of a mass email? Davis is high on my list! Whoever it was, congratulations! *throws confetti*
123letsgo Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Hi! I created an account just to reply to this thread. I was the one who was just accepted to UC Davis! To answer your question, it was a personal email from someone on the admissions committee. She said they're working on the funding still, but they wanted to let me know about their decision asap. Hope that helps! Good luck to you all! gingin6789 and DaisyGamble 2

Hey, you never know. Acceptances don't always go out all at once, not even for Davis (last year, most went out at once, yes, but there was one posting where someone got an acceptance several days after the bulk of them went out). Two years ago, a good friend of mine thought she might not have made the cut, but she awoke one morning to a pleasant surprise: a notification of acceptance days after the bulk of acceptances were sent out. She's now there at Davis as a grad student. It's not over until we get that rejection notice, friend =) We'll hang in there together! Edited January 27, 2016 by gingin6789 qeta and 2016Applicant 2

I understand. I'm a high school teacher at the moment, and I often do the same thing. But being Wednesday, it means only 2 more days until the weekend! And, hopefully we'll get some grand acceptances by Saturday too. Something to really look forward to! Edited January 27, 2016 by HopefulSocPhD spelling
Katastrophe Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 A while back I made a made a chart with the schools I applied to noting their first recorded date of acceptances in the past three seasons (2015, 2014, 2013). Of those it looks like we are in the ball park for these: Washington 21-Jan, 25-Jan, 18-Jan Princeton 26-Jan, 29-Jan, 1-Feb Berkeley 28-Jan, 31-Jan, 31-Jan Penn State 30-Jan, 1-Feb, 25-Jan Can't speak to anything else and it might be completely different this year, but it's a prediction right? The wait is driving me nuts! Note: There is an acceptance in the results forum for Washington already though. Shamon 1

HopefulSocPhD Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Someone just posted on the results board that their status for UT Austin still said "in review." Mine also still says this. I looked back at last years Accept/Reject thread and it looked like the website status for some people didn't get updated for quite a while. I emailed the grad coordinator earlier this week to check and haven't heard anything back; just no response at all. I would guess that those who were not notified from UT are probably rejected (myself included) and that the program forwarded files to the grad school to make the official rejections happen, including changing the status on the website. Obviously, this is just a guess, but I imagine there are quite a few of us who have not heard anything from UT yet. Official rejections from UT Austin didn't happen until Feb. 4th last year. Edited January 27, 2016 by HopefulSocPhD corrected date
