Anyone claiming the Columbia admit?

Does anyone also have a problem accessing the Duke decision letter link after logging into their unlink account? I literally could see nearly nothing on my welcome page.

I just checked my Duke account. No notifications for anything. Either they haven't sent anything out or I was rejected...

It seems like this is just some more creative trolling.

Oh man. Sneaky shenanigans...

It's probably too late in the night for east coast schools to send out acceptances.

[ugurcanevci]

Well Columbia is probably a troll, but after today I don't expect it to be a positive result for me. I have 4 lower tier applications, so, I'm still gonna stay positive.

Congrats to all those admitted!

I think he's a math student that got a little lost.

That probably is the case. Nevertheless, I took the opportunity to finally register to Duke's website for follow-up. I completely forgot to do that.

It's like a separate login thing, called OneLink? I dunno, Duke sent an email after they got my application which contained a temporary link to a registration process.

This one https://applicants.siss.duke.edu/

You have to make a NetID first. You probably got an email about this a day or two after submitting your application.

[weathered_behavioralist]

Thanks for tipping us off on this, @VMcJ--I had totally overlooked this.

Thanks, figured it out. Just forgot about it.

Also claiming Berkeley admit! Hang in there everyone, good news will arrive. Good luck!

I have a question about the time zone on the results page--a number of times I've noticed a significant number of people posting on what appears to be "tomorrow"--for example, I already see a lot of February 1st acceptances. This is not necessarily only in reference to the "Date Added," which makes sense, but mostly the "Decision Date," which from what I understand should reflect the date on which the acceptance occurred. I'm already in the Pacific time zone, so I'm used to adding three hours at times to convert to Eastern, but even then it doesn't make sense for example, it is still only 10:15 currently.) Moreover, why are people getting acceptances so early in the morning?

I received the UCSD rejection yesterday night, like around 10 pm. If you consider the times in Europe, Middle East, and Asia, it is already a day later there. 

[RevTheory1126]

Wow! Congrats to all the Berkeley folks.

 

On the real though: If I get an acceptance, I'm going to put something really polite and excited on here, but in real life, I'm going to be cussing and hollerin' something fierce... just FYI. 

@hyacinthus I was thinking those folks might be international...? But now that you mention the decision date... Maybe it's just an oversight by the inputting user?

Good points, I was confused because they were always posted late in the day here, so it seemed like schools were sending out late night acceptances, but I guess also taking into account international time zones it makes sense that students in further time zones would be sleeping when acceptances were sent out, and then wake up to them when it's late here.

For the people admitted to Berkeley in Comparative Politics, did you receive emails from DGS or from individual professors in your subfields? I'm trying to figure out if I still have a chance or not...

Mine was from the chair of the admissions committee for the department, but I'm in American.

It's user input oversight. I've noticed the dates a day ahead when I have entered in my own results. I'm not sure when the system ticks over on its own, but I imagine people aren't paying as much attention to the changeable date.  Just my own two cents. 

[VMcJ]

Does someone claim that UNC acceptance? At least it's IR and not Comparative...

[curvilineardisparity]

I'm claiming one of the positive results from Pittsburgh. 

GRE and undergrad GPA were not high but I guess that some experience, two MAs, publications and a period lecturing helped in the end.

Couldn't be happier!

Who wait for UC Davis?
