No acceptances, no rejections, just radio silence. Same here. I've seen been really worried because one of the programs I applied to already sent out both acceptances and rejections (if the results page is to be believed) and I've heard exactly nothing. I guess that could mean I've been waitlisted (or they're responding in waves), but it really doesn't bode well for my anxiety.

Thanks for answering-- I didn't mean to pry. I guess several programs are doing this. Some of the other gradcafe members call that "into the abyss," I believe. Fun!

It's going to be the craziest week, I'm actually really excited I don't know how I'm going to sleep Oh yeah, I was thinking Boulder would be late February/early March--their results are few and far between but I see that one person on the results board was accepted on the 14th last year, which was a Tuesday--so perhaps between tomorrow and Thursday accepted applicants will hear something! So that means I'm hoping this week will be Brown, BU, Yale, Tufts, and Colorado for us. Whoa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_sort_of_fractious_angel Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm guessing that - maybe - Virginia and Princeton are end of this week, UPenn is the beginning of next week, and Rutgers is end of next week. Also am eagerly awaiting my Maryland, Pitt, and PSU rejections, although I'm already ready for PSU to officially reject me sometime in April, lololol.

stressedapplicant#20093 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 What are thoughts on places that send out acceptances (like Vanderbilt/UCSB/PennState) but I, personally, haven't heard back? I know this forum already has discussions on this topic, but I am just looking to be apart of the conversation. Also, what are thoughts if you don't get accepted anywhere? - These Feb. weeks are grueling in this long waiting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooks Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hello! I have exactly the same questions. This past couple of days, around 3-4 of my schools have begun sending out acceptances (UC Davis, SB, NYU and Indiana Bloomington) but I haven't heard back. So if anyone knows whether they send out acceptances all at once, or in batches (esp since most have been sent out via phone calls), please let a fella know. The waiting game is stressful no doubt! Also, huge congrats to all those who got in stressedapplicant#20093 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, (and mind you, I haven't actually done this myself), but if you know acceptances have gone out and you haven't heard anything in several days, I think it should be acceptable to contact departments and ask if they are still sending out any acceptances/wait lists or not. I know there is some disagreement here on that, but I think that it's perfectly reasonable to do so after a few days. Meanwhile, I'm over here waiting on UGA...and see that a creative writing applicant was notified BY SNAIL MAIL of their acceptance. Talk about a curve ball. Now I wanna run home on my lunch break and check the mail. Last year, they sent out emails by Feb. 10... (And, of course, congrats to said person if they happen to be on this forum.) stressedapplicant#20093 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saaaaaammmeee. I'm giving it until the end of today before counting them as In The Abyss. If you're not going to accept me, all I ask is a proper rejection. You know, for closure.

Melvillage_Idiot Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Anybody know (and forgive me if I've missed this in a previous post) about anything from University of Arkansas? I got an email from them a few weeks ago that suggested I should probably learn something this week, but if you browse the archived acceptances on this site, most folks don't seem to learn anything until the first week of March -- and I don't know if my heart can take that long of a wait!

I wish they’d just email when a decision is up—I was feeling pretty calm about it but now I’m going to be checking all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
