gc_user Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Sigh. I hate waiting. How long do admissions committees take to make decisions? Is the primary challenge just trying to get everyone in the same room? Does that even happen anymore? I know these questions are futile but I can't help but ask them anyway.
guest56436 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 So it looks like today is a dud..not surprising, I feel like the mid and end of the week is usually when the action occurs.

I imagine the primary challenge is reading through all the apps first, the second deciding on the borderline cases.

waterloo715 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 Anyone claiming that Penn State rejection via postal service? Seems a bit strange seeing a rejection via snail mail this early.
VMcJ Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 One of the Pittsburgh acceptances at the results page is mine! Mike_Novick, Gik, dagnabbit and 4 others 7

The worst part of waiting for me is not being able to plan what I have to do next. Even if they're all rejections, knowing my results would allow me to think what to do and decide my next steps. I'm usually anxious, but the uncertainty of this wait is making it all the worse.

I am also someone who likes to plan ahead and this has been the worst part of the whole process. Hopefully you'll be taken out of your misery by the end of this week. In the meanwhile, I've set more short term goals the last three weeks than I'd ever had before. I find that focusing on those (especially stuff like going to the gym, which isn't academic and takes a lot of energy) helps my long-term brain shut up for a little while. Gik 1

ugurcanevci Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) I claim one of the rejections from UCSD. I started to get really frightened after Northwestern and UCSD. 0a/0w/2r/13pending Edited January 31, 2017 by ugurcanevci

guest56436 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Well, here come the California state schools. Edited January 31, 2017 by Comparativist
jge Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) UCSD sent out a couple of rejections, what does it mean if you haven't received any kind of status update? As far as I know IR people have gotten cut, but theres no indication of other sub-fields. I am an Americanist, so I am trying to figure out what this all means. Did the IR pile get sorted through first, or are they down to a smaller cut of people? I thought these schools send their decisions together... Edited January 31, 2017 by jge resDQ 1
RevTheory1126 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) @resDQ @ugurcanevci Agreed. I'll be claiming all mine once they are finalized. Edited January 31, 2017 by RevTheory1126 clarify comment
