E. Coronaria Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Does anyone have any insight concerning Notre Dame? Looks like rejections were finally posted, but I didn't receive an email and my portal said that no decision has been made. Obviously, I didn't get an interview so I'm not being considered... I'm just a little confused. My last name is an v, w, x, y, or z-- so maybe it's just an alphabetical thing and they'll get to me later? Can't they just rip the band-aid off?!
E. Coronaria Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Almost just started a thread called "Projected Rejections" because it felt so appropriate. Happy Friday, everyone! Edited January 26, 2018 by Elle Coronaria

I hate the silence! Expand Same! I'm not expecting to hear from Pittsburgh or Stanford until mid-February, which feels like it will never arrive. It's awful.

That second week is going to be a big one for me, but until then I’m expecting radio silence. It’s going to be a long few weeks.
Mellowyellow Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 What are you all waiting for this week? Chicago for me (I'm thinking it will be Thursday or Friday, if good news).

Chicago for me (I'm thinking it will be Thursday or Friday, if good news). Expand Rumor + GC says Delaware and PSU have notified around this time in the past - so ... maybe? I also saw Pitt acceptances come out early Feb (I think? It's all becoming a blur now) - seems they do rejections (or have done them) via the post. So, I'll be watching for snail mail from Pitt, too.

Expand Yes, the 9th circle of hell is actually just waiting to hear back from graduate schools. No updates at all. No "we'll be alerting in early February." No "we're still reviewing applications." Just continuing update a portal that says "Application under review" or "Awaiting decision." FreakyFoucault, a_sort_of_fractious_angel and E. Coronaria 2 1

Crow T. Robot Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Really hoping to hear back from Duke Literature this week....................... Historically, it looks like we're also approaching Rice and UT Austin acceptance dates--maybe next Monday if not this Friday?
TralfamadoreTour Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I got an email from Mississippi that said the department would review all applications on February 16th. That was really nice of them to send an email like that. JustPoesieAlong 1

I guess I somehow stopped thinking about Rice while I was busy despairing over the OSU silence. Hearing back from Rice would be incredible--especially since their due date was so late.
mads47 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) One of my applications (UIUC) says that its status is "awaiting decision." What does this mean? Does this mean the decision is coming soon? Maybe I'm getting prematurely excited, but this is the first of my apps to say something besides "submitted" or "under review" or (my favorite) "paid."

Expand I think it's essentially the same as "under review," so to say a decision has not been made yet. mads47 1
