Expand Application decisions are not made solely out of GRE scores. I suspected if I was filtered out in the first cut for the low undergrad GPA. My GRE has no problem, except a 4.5 AWA (which is not low at all). Well I have to say my apps have flaws like these, but honestly, are Wisc admits all perfect? I don't understand...

Based on the research interests shown on your signature, I believe you will get into some really nice programs with stellar fellowship. I would pass down the words from redhillgirl. Those programs reject you just do not deserve your passion.

Expand The website does state that it is refreshed at 7AM, which is why I checked mine at around 7:30AM when I got up.

HopefulSocPhD Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Who else is waiting on UCLA? I noticed one rejection on the board this morning, but my app status for UCLA still says, "no decision made at this time..." I wonder what their timeline looks like for notifications. Seems like they spread it out over the last few years, but didn't really accept anyone after the 30th. Perhaps more rejections are forthcoming? Hm...
