Based off of the email Nat got, I would guess next week. But again, really it could come out any day. Also, I think Princeton will come out next week. It would be very atypical for them to come out this week when they in the past four years have released the first week of March. Swann 1
jacbarcan Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Oooh. UBC is hard. I have no idea when they'll come out.
majorshake Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 @jacbarcan do you think Toronto are done sending out offers/waitlists?
jacbarcan Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 I don't think they're done. They usually send out a bunch over a long period of time.
o m g Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I don't know what to think of Harvard - on the one hand they usually don't release all acceptances on one day, but on the other hand there has always been fewer posted acceptances in prior years...
jacbarcan Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah. I have no idea. Last year, Princeton had like 12 acceptances and people were really weirded out by that. It might just be that the people with offers are all on gradcafe and their system is still the same. Don't completely give up hope, but don't hold your breath.

I was looking at Princeton's table of grad students by year a while ago and I noticed that they seemed to have particularly large classes the past few years. From this, I thought it possible that they'd be particularly selective this year to cut down on their class size.

I went to 2 or 3 talks by their grad students at the Eastern, and now I'd consider murder as a means of securing a spot even more seriously than I already was. But my gut instinct is not until March. I think I might go all the way to second week of March, actually.

notorious_biv Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Does anyone know whether Pitt HPS is still sending out acceptances?

There's only been one accept so far in the results search list. I too have not heard anything from them, so I can only hope that they're taking their sweet time deciding on just how much funding to give me once they accept me....

On second thought, I think we'll see more. I just ran a few different searches and more appeared for previous years. Edited February 25, 2016 by notorious_biv
matchamatcha Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I almost feel like I should have applied to more schools for the sole reason that I would have gotten to hear back from some more schools by this point. majorshake, notorious_biv and oldmanPhDStudent 3

SamStone Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Okay, Riverside. Today is your day, right?! (Please?) atoz and machineghost 2

Fun fact: Over the past 7 years, UCR has released on every day of the week except Sunday. They have, however, released twice on a Friday. I therefore prognosticate that they will release tomorrow.

So say I. FWIW, I know that prospectives are starting to visit the campus. They do tend to dig into their waitlist, though, so don't lose hope!
Siegfried42 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Hey @jacbarcan - is there any reason in particular you picked today for Michigan? I looked through the results page and it looks like they released March the last two years, right?

Siegfried, I think @philosophe posted that an "inside" source had info about when the ad comm will meet.

This was data I got from Ian. I'm pretty sure 2014 isn't wrong, but if it is then yes it should be next week.
notorious_biv Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Hi Jac! Do you have any additional info on Pitt HPS? Thanks!
jacbarcan Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Not at all. Though I do have two buddies over at Pitt. I'll ask them if they know anything.
