I hope so too- I'm starting to have my doubts about getting in anywhere this year but here's to being optimistic. Congrats again by the way! It is a great program! Based on your signature it looks like you still have a lot of programs to hear from! You can't be pessimistic yet! limonchello 1

Very nice conversation. Invited to visit a grad seminar and meet with students/professors (there's no set visit day for all admits). Sweet, what program was that for?

You can't be pessimistic yet! People have now heard acceptances from all but 2 of the programs I applied. So I'm holding out for good news, but I'm prepping myself for the "what if" scenario. You are absolutely right though. Edited February 10, 2017 by montanem limonchello and Flavorless 1 1

I got a call but they actually didn't give me much information lol. I was too excited to think to ask many questions but the woman I spoke with said official decisions should come in a couple of weeks. nbc21 1

As people make their decisions, some spots usually open up and those wait listed are moved in. Best of luck! Edited February 10, 2017 by HighlyCaffeinated limonchello 1

I see that some students have gotten in, but it seems they might have been international students who did skype interviews? Possibly. I am the international student(had Skype interview, as you guessed) who reported on the survey, and the email said it is just an early notice. Have you went to Emory for a visit? I really wanted to go there. Would you share some of your experience with me, if you like? Edited February 10, 2017 by CoffeeNebula jojokitty47 1

Devastated by the first rejection (especially the committee politics part)... BTW last night my friend at Harvard told me the results haven't been out or maybe she's just comforting me. Fingers crossed for other schools. jojokitty47 1
draco.malfoy Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I'll claim the Yale acceptance. I'm thrilled. If people want to ask questions, I'll gladly answer. If you want to be pissed at me, it's okay. That's how I felt about all you UCLA admits Off to celebrate now, though! PostmodernPendulum, jojokitty47, nbc21 and 7 others 9 1

I'm also wondering how the other person from the results page saw the list of those accepted... I'm eager to hear back from Yale!
jojokitty47 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Where is the insiders list that was talked about that people can see if they were accepted, waitlisted, or rejected from Yale?

I was introduced via email to Jeff Alexander by a former student of his. He read some of my thesis and another paper, and then invited me to visit in the fall and set up visits for me with Gorski, Adams, Eyerman, and Smith. A friend of mine who was admitted last year was invited to visit, too, before decisions were made. So I think they do invite a few people a year to visit who they hear about through their alums... but that is an assumption. socapp2017 and IncomingPhD2017 1 1

HighlyCaffeinated Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Is it safe to assume that if I don't hear from Yale before 5pm EST that I'm denied?

I personally don't assume a rejection until I hear it specifically. They could be releasing in waves, or you could be waitlisted. From the results page it seems there's some list that has everyone who was accepted on it, but we don't know for sure if those people have all been contacted.
