Thanks @sk8er determinant:) Yeah, I am still checking my status page for Wisc a bit too much lol. I have a feeling we may hear something Thurs or Fri.

Hi @Dibenzofulvene. Mine says the same thing. I think that every UW applicants experienced the access problem from Saturday to Monday. But do you think everyone experiences the "available for recommendation" sign too? It looks that only small number of applicants have the sign, since I can only find about 7-8 people who have been talking about the sign in this site. How do you think? And congrats for your offers!

I have experienced "available fo recommendation" sign, too. I am an international, and applied to UWM ChemE.

I think that.. the sign is just error or the meaning of "under review".

My application has been doing this as well. It has a bunch of numbers, the date that I submitted my app, and "Available for Recommendation". This has been seriously stressing me out

@Dibenzofulvene @meteora @L543 @jeromass hi all! 

so I just checked my wisc app and now, I no longer have "available for recommendation". Instead, I have

Chemistry PHD FALL 2017-2018 "Your application has been received and will be reviewed by your program. Please refer to this page for updates." with all the checklist. 

That's my update on it.

@ those of you who have heard from Berkeley - what specialisation did you apply for? 

I just emailed a POI at Berkeley and he told me he believed all acceptances have been sent out...so...:(

Same here! It basically reversed back to the old checklist. It's probably just something to do with the system. I hope we hear back soon. I can't with the anxiety.

Ah, that's unfortunate. Oh well, one can't expect acceptances from everywhere.
