HermioneWannabe Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Gah why has today been so quiet?? I'm assuming the weekend won't be full of acceptances either.
as2472 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Anybody claiming that Yale admit, or more trolls?Â

Lately most programs have been releasing their decisions at 3-5. It's been quiet in the mornings. HermioneWannabe 1

Actually I was so shocked at how much earlier than usual it was (before processing the whole probably not real bit) that I just jumped out of my chair and spilled the coffee I was holding everywhere. Not that this admissions cycle has me on edge or anything....

I also didn't apply. But when I saw it I refreshed my email as well. There was an email from Yale. I jumped. During a fraction of a second I could not believe. But It was from Yale Coursera. resDQ 1
Monody Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Excluding Yale, can we expect Duke and Penn later today?

gc_user Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Anyone know when Stanford and MIt release decisions?
cydxb Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I'm oddly glad to receive the rejection email from Princeton - it's better than the radio silence from other schools! Gik, Mike_Novick, as2472 and 2 others 5

Someone mentioned Penn a few pages ago, but I'm not sure what it was based on... it doesn't seem like Penn is super consistent. Duke could very well be today. And that's terrifying... Â Oh and at this point, I would relish a rejection... just something to let me know I actually did something a few months ago, you know, like, that I actually filled out forms, wrote letters, paid fees etc. Edited February 3, 2017 by RevTheory1126

My prediction is that we will hear from both next week, probably around Thursday / Friday. That being said, a small part of my is still hoping that we'll hear from Stanford today. It's still early afternoon in CA! And after the Princeton surprise, it feels like anything is possible.  Edited February 3, 2017 by oakeshott
selectionbias Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 ditto on the Princeton rejection...luckily i was able to obtain a fee waiver Hoping this rejection isn't a harbinger of things to come and my cycle. Disappointed, but not devastated. I wasn't exactly keen on spending the next 5+years of my life in the hinterland of NJ, plus having completed my masters there I didn't find the romantic prospects particularly enticing while I was there. No shade to admits. Â It's a truly world-class institution with superior resources in nearly all regards, excellent alumni etc. My reasons are probably more shallow than most. Â Additionally, I'm happy to provide info to any inquiring minds who were recently admitted. I graduated in 2015 as a Woo so lots of overlap with various departments (literally Corwin is connected to Robertson, making for a convenient little shortcut when the weather invariably turns foul) More pro-tips per request. weathered_behavioralist 1
