majorshake Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hmm.. Is it possible Villanova has more interviews to send out? There are only 3 reported, and I know there are so many of us here waiting. I hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorshake Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Sorry for the double post, but I thought I'd share my prediction for McGill In 2010 it was the 19th Feb (last Friday of Feb) In 2011 there are no reported admits In 2012 16-18 Feb (end of the second week of Feb) In 2013 it was the 22nd Feb (last Friday of Feb) In 2014 no reported admits In 2015 it was the 25th Feb (last Wednesday of Feb) Based on the fact that the last few years the admits have always been released in February (and in the last two years I have data for, in the last week of the month), then I predict that if we don't hear today, then probably middle of next week. So say I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philstudent1991 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Interestingly, it turns out that asking departments flat out for an update is a terrible proxy for results. For instance, Nat asked Georgetown when they'd be releasing and they said two weeks, and then they released today. Brown said they'd release today but as far as anyone knows, they didn't (unless they did snail mail). UCSD said they don't do wait lists, but I personally know folks who are waitlisted there. So if even asking schools directly for information turns out to be an unreliable way of knowing what's going on, I can't conclude anything other than absolute skepticism. Sure, no information has ever been more important to me in my life. It will determine how my life will go in many ways, certainly for the immediate future, but for the long term future as well. So I know why people get so anxious; I certainly am. But I think all of our best tools of prognostication have failed and we should abandon all efforts. Just try to think about other stuff, and the information will come when it may. MentalEngineer, jjb919, AnotherKantFan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philosophe Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Jac, any idea if there's precedent for Stanford, Yale or Brown to release over the weekend? Or are we to assume another week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacbarcan Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Stanford has released on a Saturday and a Sunday in the past. I'm not sure about Yale or Brown since they both seem to release at the end of the week on a weekday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gughok Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 MIT pls. Someone, tell me something. Yale hasn't even bothered to tell me they don't want me. We're pretty sure about the MIT prediction, right? I looked over the dates and they've never really released later than the equivalent of today. And Harvard usually releases by now, only last year they released tomorrow, hence the prediction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacbarcan Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm feeling really confident about MIT and Harvard. Like usual, they'll probably make calls around 5 or 6 EST (note I have no particular basis for the guess on time-- just trends from other departments this year.) I have no idea about Boston College. Very confused about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm literally within walking distance of both. Edited February 22, 2016 by philosophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgruntledlurker Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 SO many crickets. I had a strange amount of faith in the MIT prediction for some reason. It's important to remember in this trying time that all committee work is slow and sucks (for everyone involved). I don't think anything resembling reasonable processes should be expected. C'est la vie. Glad all I have to do right now is sit around and wait for responses instead of sit on a committee and try to come to a consensus on what those responses should be.
