Has anyone applied to X department at Y University and received email from the Office of Graduate Studies newsletter (e.g. announcing the appointment of new President)? I am wondering how my email ID ended up with the Office of Graduate Studies? Does it signify that X department has made a decision and forwarded its decision to the Office of Graduate Studies (responsible for final recommendations) which would have listed the email IDs of admitted students in its newsletter? Since I recall I am in the database of X department since last year when I was admitted to their MA program but declined over personal reasons. I have been receiving emails from X department ever since but it's the first time I am receiving email from the Office of Graduate Studies. 

Particularly, it's concluding sentence-- "This is an exciting time for all of us at Y University and we hope you consider becoming a part of our academic community"--makes me freak out over and over again.

I had that! Usually you can simply unsubscribe (there is nothing "bad/sketchy" going on, they simply still have your email from your application). If there is no button to unsubscribe, email them that you want your data deleted.Should work out.

Just wondering, what school is this? If it's really the case (congrats!) then that school will probably release decisions very soon

Those emails are generic. The only thing they indicate is that they got a new president and nothing else.

Got it. Will probably wait for a while to unsubscribe. There are not many emails. Only one so far.

It will never amount to levels of Nigerian prince spam. But you will constantly get emails.

True! It would be gone if it pops up again.

I was just in the copy room yesterday where the UCLA official acceptance letters/funding offers were being scanned into electronic form. Expect your offers very soon.

Waiting for claims here also, but those results seem to be true.

I only see three and no one seems to be claiming them? Weird because they released decisions around this time too last cycle

Quiet night tonight. Wonder if the whole week will be like this or if there will be a flurry of schools on Thursday/Friday.

Last year Michigan, Columbia, and Stanford starting releasing on Wednesday February 10th, so tomorrow could be a flurry as well.

Now I'm open to this possibility. It should have more results by now, and at least one claim here.
