After three rejections, I won't bother getting excited for Columbia. :) Will be a calm week for me. Unless we are expecting Georgetown this week too...? Or do you guys think it'll be the following week?

I think Gtown notified around Feb 20th last year, so its possible acceptances will be sent out this week...

I would hope not because I was told by the admissions office last week that they had not made a decision yet.

I know for a fact that, at least as of the end of January, the Gtown admissions committee was not expecting to meet until the end of February, so don't expect decisions until the first week of March.

I stand corrected. Here's to hoping that Columbia, Princeton and Harvard come through for us this week...

I just want to wish everybody who's waiting on a big decision this week the best of luck. I know how tough it can be to wait during the week, wondering when the answer is going to be there. The good news is that we'll probably only have to go through this routine this week and then the next two weeks after that. Once the first week of March is over, we'll be able to move on and talk about our visits, any waitlist drama going on with our schools, and of course the ultimate chapter- where we've decided to enroll this fall. I'm definitely relieved that we've only got a few weeks left, however, in this tough segment of the process. Again, best of luck to everybody!

Thanks a lot APGA. I hope this week will bring good news to all of us.

I have heard absolutely *nothing* since I got Stanford. I am hoping this will finally change this week...

Even the thought that Harvard and Princeton decisions might come out in the next couple of days makes me shiver... it's going to be a loooooong and painful ride now.. sad.gif

Yale should be out soon. There were a fair number of rejections on Friday.

The only places I would consider choosing over Stanford are Princeton and Harvard, I think. I don't think I would be a good match for Yale. I am even thinking about withdrawing my application.

Have you got any further in your decision making process? I have been bombarded with Stanford emails from students and professors. They seem quite enthusiastic, which is a good feeling.

Just adding my good luck wishes for everybody! It's a big week for lots of us (including me), but I'm sure we'll all wind up somewhere we'll be happy. Good luck!!!

Columbia applicants... can you still access you application status form? I can't, I get error messages anytime I try.

Works ok for me.

Posted

Yup, Columbia form works for me as well.

On another note - has anyone else applied to Oxford? Am I right that we're not expecting to hear from them until the middle of March? Seems like a looooooong wait for that one....

Posted

If it works for SuddenlyParanoid, then no worries, no status updating tongue.gif

But yeah, I can access without problems as well.

Hahaha yeah.... though status updating could mean rejection, too wink.gif

I think it depends on when you applied. I know they were already making some decisions in November, even though they don't have rolling admissions.

I know that I'm in for the MPhil IR, though unofficially.

Yeah, can log into Columbia status form as well. But I had this problem before because I did not log out properly from another applyyourself application.

Does anyone know whether any particular school is closed/open today?

I'm guessing that you know from one of your old profs, yes? Think it's my last hope after my LSE disaster!

Yup.

Don't worry too much yet! I know it's hard... but things might work out fine in the end, and then you wasted all this time for nothing. smile.gif You are still waiting to hear from lots of places...
