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?!

Almost just started a thread called "Projected Rejections" because it felt so appropriate. 

Happy Friday, everyone!

I motion for the creation of this thread on the condition that it’s titled “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)” 

...and has the song playing on loop.

It might just be because I am sick and I know it's still only January but I'm so bored of waiting. I hate the silence!

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

I feel like mid February is FOREVER away. 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.

What are you all waiting for this week? Chicago for me (I'm thinking it will be Thursday or Friday, if good news).

Boston College! Good luck I hope you get good news from Chicago!

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.

Waiting mostly on NYU with my fingers crossed. It should be either late this week or early next week and I'm aggressively refreshing everything.

Oh really? Didn't realize it's that early in February. Tears.

I'm expecting to hear from UW-Madison (today???) for rhet/comp. And apparently maybe Pittsburgh this week too, although I'm giving them another week or so before I start getting anxious.

Hopefully I’ll hear something from Penn State. Additionally, I’m hoping on some clarification on my Notre Dame status (no rejection, no invite). ALSO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM OSU. Is this hell?

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."

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?

It most certainly is. I'm guessing your status still says pending too, huh?

Expand  

Yes! I behaved myself and only checked it once this weekend, but I checked it this morning and I’m still in perpetual pergatory. HALP.

I hope this is true for UT's American Studies program as well as Lit...

Whew. 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.

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."

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