Did any other WUSTL applicants not hear back from them yet? I'll shoot them an email if I don't get anything by the end of the day.

I have not yet heard. Everyone else here who's applied has. This is making me very anxious.

[Naruto]

I'm also super anxious. Best of luck to you!

I haven't heard anything yet either. For the record, my name is at the end of the alphabet so maybe that's why they haven't gotten to my result yet.

Update on Oregon (from DGS): "We have indeed notified individuals who were accepted to our PhD program and who are on our wait list. You will be notified about the status of your application shortly."

Georgetown: ~2 weeks

 

Toronto HPS: early March to mid-March; will be taking internationals

 

McGill & Penn: No answer via phone; emailed. 

 

U Conn: Secretary didn't have any info; emailed DGS. 

 

Sorry, I know this is probably not very helpful. I'll get back to you with what I hear back over email.

Do we know anything yet about Oklahoma? I just didn't see, but that's no guarantee nothing was said!

[machineghost]

Riverside's silence is deafening. Georgetown's too.

[Nat_Foot]

Yeah, haven't heard anything from Riverside. Emailed the DGS two days ago...

Thanks, Nat. Bummer news for me—but appreciate you reaching out for us.

Why are you assuming a rejection from Georgetown if Nat predicted they won't release for roughly two weeks?

[machineghost]

Speaking for myself, it's bummer news because they were predicted to come out tomorrow and it's a long time to wait.

[omfgzell]

Any chance of hearing from Pittsburgh's HPS program?  Thanks so much!

[jacbarcan]

When you called Toronto, did you check for philosophy also or just the HPS?

[Nat_Foot]

@jacbarcan: Yes, I checked for philosophy yesterday. They said:

General admissions have not been released yet, and they will not be released until the end of February. I asked if any had been released, and she said a few, possibly, if there were special circumstances but none for general admissions yet. Also asked about international: they always have a quota of how many visa students they accept (and there's a limited number of those they can accept, of course). So you can assume there will be a few international students accepted. 

[jacbarcan]

great. thanks

[bravesball]

@Nat_Foot do you think you could contact Missouri? So far there's just have the one person accepted with fellowship on feb 1. Seems pretty late for them.

[Nat_Foot]

Yes, I'll contact Missouri tomorrow. 

[Nat_Foot]

U Conn update:  "We expect to start notifying accepted applicants over the next month." 

These are becoming less and less informative.

They must feel pretty silly saying that to you.

I am assuming a rejection because of the likelihood granted my stats/application. I meant to imply this by using assume rather than presume.
