I had a missed phone call at 11:20 or so, and just saw it and called back (But note that they didn't try again in those 2 hours, so it wasn't done in one quick sweep.) Congratulations! I just got got a call from a Pittsburgh number and got nervous and then remembered that I didn't even apply to Pittsburgh. It was a telemarketer.

Is that information compiled and used in the future? Would I be helping TGC out if I went back and reported all of my results? If not, I won't bother. Heh well my first post for Pitt got my GPA wrong, and my correction got the school name wrong! (Clearly I'm still in shock.) But if you, unlike me, are able to post correct results I'd say it's probably helpful. Cecinestpasunphilosophe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's very possible that they don't call everyone at once, best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadeel Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) I have heard from nowhere and at this moment I will be happy to receive a rejection. They need to acknowledge my existence. Edited February 13, 2016 by Hadeel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxAndChicken Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Princeton's app was due way earlier this year. Sadly, not me. I'm surprised it's Saturday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erosopher Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I see someone posted an acceptance from Oregon. Congrats! I really hope I get one too... it may very well be my last chance at an offer this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you all think they've sent out all their rejection letters? Seem to be a fair number of posts listed on GradCafe 3 hours ago, Dialectica said: Precisely what I was going to ask. I'm really not sure what the upshot is. Though I was looking through past results and it seems the total number of rejections reported for each year is close to the handful of rejections reported today. So maybe there's hope for those who haven't heard anything. 3 hours ago, metaphysician said: I'm in the same boat: let's stay positive! Me too... hopefully that's not a suspiciously high number of us still waiting? :X If anything it seems like we at least made the first cut. Anything's possible, though, so let's stick with cautious optimism. Dialectica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, I' think we're misunderstanding the difference between types of contact. Once the admittees have been finalized, there is nothing stopping a particularly excited POI from calling and telling someone "Hey, don't tell anyone I told you but, congratulations..." I think that's what's happening, at least in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how long going through the call list usually takes? Should I have expected to hear from Pitt already if I was accepted? Note: My surname is at the end of the alphabet. 8 hours ago, lisamadura said: Congrats! Now look who's starting to clean up. Everything's coming up @oldhatnewtricks, eh. Thank you so much! I'm just trying to process everything still. I was thinking I had a tiny sliver of a chance at my MAs and a tinier sliver at UVA and Georgetown. So I'm just thoroughly taken aback and wondering if they called the right number! isostheneia, MVSCZAR and behindclosedoors 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
