Received a call from Stanford POI at around 5 PM (Pacific)!!!!!! I probably sounded really dumb over the phone; I'm still recovering from the shock lol

Congratulations to all the Stanford offer holders!

[Monody]

So, I just declined my admission offer at PennState and hope that one of you who are still waiting out receives a very nice email in the next few days. Good luck.

[gc_user]

I'm also planning to decline Columbia's offer within the next few days, so hopefully someone on the waitlist will get off!

[Bibica]

@oakeshott I'll be there! Luckily a very convenient trip from my current location.

[HermioneWannabe]

I feel like this week has been a lot quieter than expected. Any thoughts about who we may hear from over the next two days?

I am waiting for MIchigan, maybe Vanderbilt and Penn and perhaps get some closure on Rochester, UNC and now Maryland. I don't expect Notre Dame this week.

[Monody]

Maybe MIT (and hopefully the theoretical rest of Stanford).

Yeah I'm hoping for closure on Stanford and Rochester.  I'd love to hear from Michigan / MIT. Then hopefully Yale / Harvard / Cornell over the next two weeks. Then I'll be done.

[oakeshott]

Maybe Cornell?

If I remember correctly last year they released their decisions right around this time. But then again, this whole cycle has been a little crazy.

I'm really really hoping ND sends out results this week. I'm sick of waiting. 

[Monody]

Ive to say even if I still hypothetically would get into Stanford, I would struggle deciding between it and Columbia.

I'd pick Columbia, hands down - but more based on location / proximity to my family.  That may not be the best way to decide on programs, but I want to be within a reasonable distance of all the people I care about.

[tkid86]

I'm hoping for Yale next week and closure to Georgetown (only saw to admits, I think?) and UMD. Really expecting all my schools next week except for JHU. 

[waterloo715]

Waiting on Michigan, ND, Yale, and Cornell. But still haven't received closure from a few schools either. 

I'm hoping that mine get wrapped up in the next 2.5 weeks. I am tired of waiting. This process is tortuous.

I received my UNC rejection last Friday, best of luck!

[yousowildrach]

I'm still waiting to hear from University of Washington, Northwestern, UPenn, and Stanford. Anyone know anything?

Northwestern is definitely done. Stanford is probably done.

[resDQ]

did the Harvard Gov. poster get it confused with Harvard PEG (can confirm through SO that they are out)?

[kwaddy]

Claiming an American University admit  . I am stunned right now.

Hey Comparativist, Why are you so sure that Northwestern is definitely done? I am still waiting an answer from them.

A couple of people here have commented that they already had their admitted student visit (or is very soon, can't remember exactly when it is/was). I doubt they would do that without sending out all their acceptances.

Yes, I guess it makes sense. That's sad, why they haven't rejected everyone else then? It's just mean.

Last year they took a while to send rejections as well. Been there.
