Have you two called the departments or are you just going off prior years' results?

Someone called and Princeton said the 15th

Looks like they received the acceptance on the 3rd but just posted it today. I guess they were busy celebrating haha ... I know I would be!

Anyone here going to PAA/ASA this year？

[litany239]

All Purdue acceptances are out. Unfortunately for me, I did not make the list.

Claiming the UGA interview on the results page. Received E-mail from Graduate Coordinator. Invited to recruitment weekend March 20-22. Seems like it is a recruitment/interview process. Offers for admission will be made after recruitment weekend. ***The trip is paid for though, which is nice.

You're killing it!!

I appreciate it @Shay825 ! Good news is around the corner for you I am sure of it!

Hoping to hear from at least Rutgers and Boulder this week. Rutgers on whether I'm accepted after my interview, and Boulder for any word at all (their deadline was 12/1, so I'm a bit worried ... I hope they liked my application!).

And hearing from Brandeis and Vanderbilt would be awesome, too! Perhaps later in the week? I don't know! 

My predictions and spreadsheet have all been so totally WRONG so far! I can't help but laugh because trying to have control over this situation just isn't possible. The only thing I can do is patiently wait.

Thanks. I sincerely hope so. Starting to get a bit depressed over the silence from the schools that I applied to. I've gained about 4 pounds in the last two weeks from stress eating junk food. My waistline will weep in gratitude it if I get some responses this week.

My timeline predictions based on the last 3 years have been pretty off the mark as well. I guess the departments get around to it when they get around to it. Boulder is a lovely place, so hopefully they'll get around to it soon!

Seriously, I've gained about 4 pounds too. It's bad. Hopefully your first news is good news. Starting off with rejection(s) is extremely rough. I'm still holding some hope for a miracle, but at least when it's all over  I'll be able to fit back into my pants. The struggle is real.

Anyone want to claim that Duke waitlist?

Also, it says via website. Which website (the applicants.siss one?), and where on there did it say? I see nothing at all on mine, lol.

I went to CU Boulder as an undergrad, and I know for a fact (after talking to a mentor), that the department has picked its admits. Probably will get notified today or tomorrow.

WOW, thank you for this news! It's just -- 

*short-circuits*

Ahhh! I'll keep you posted on what I hear!

Exactly! Things are so variable from year-to-year (who's on the adcomm, how many apps they get, how quickly they get through the apps) that you can take past data as a rough estimate, but never as certainty!

My old mentor there told me how arbitrary the process is. She had a student that she selected as "definitely admit" and they were still rejected.
