OceansAreBlue Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I am wondering, if Pittsburgh would send out their acceptances tomorrow or will they keep us waiting till next week?

I was wondering the same thing last night! Looks like (for the past 2 years) they've emailed on the first Sat of February, so my hopes are high (but who knows, really.)

Although I do have an acceptance so far, I would love to hear back something positive from Pittsburgh. I hope that both of us get through. Fingers crossed!

I hate being in the dark, haha)
Mellowyellow Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) What are you all waiting for next week? It seems like the week of the 11th is a big one, but maybe some early expectations? Edited February 2, 2018 by Mellowyellow

The week of the eleventh is gonna be huge I think, but I'm personally hoping that Michigan / Cal / Stanford will surprise us early. TaliaTee 1

I will be squinting in Pitt's direction tomorrow - this evening I'm going to be shaking my head at Delaware because, hello it is Feb 2 - and I've developed a new theory based on my feelings and a free online tarot card reading that Maryland, having notified its short wait list people, will be sending out its acceptances this week. An early Michigan would be a blessing because then I can stop living in the style of "will my husband ever return home from sea" and move forward in one of two positive directions. FreakyFoucault 1

Maryland already sent acceptances as far as I'm aware (according to the results board), the day before we heard about the wait list status. I have no idea why Delaware hasn't notified yet! a_sort_of_fractious_angel 1

I thought UMD already sent out their acceptances for English? *pokes results page* Edit: @punctilious beat me to the information. Edited February 2, 2018 by Warelin
punctilious Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I'm also thinking Brown might be next Friday? And I'm REALLY curious as to when BU will send out notifications considering it changed its deadline.

They rejected my undergrad application, so I'm under this paranoid delusion that they're going to see my PhD app and be like, "HAHA this kid again! Thinks getting himself a couple BAs makes him fancy shit! Not on my watch, sister! No acceptance for you -- you come back 10 years!" Yeah, I know they supposedly destroy undergrad applications, but still... TaliaTee 1

la_mod Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 If Columbia is doing interviews, I wouldn't expect them to be done with admissions until early March! Last year they interviewed the last days of January and didn't do admissions until February 27/28.

A lack of interview certainly does not mean it's an absolute no. Last year someone on this forum got in without an interview, and I know a student there who said that it really varies. It's also divided by subfield.
