I'd be a horrible adcom! It would be
Me: @punctilious' wife is really cool and @FreakyFoucault is really funny so I'd like to accept them both! 
Them: But they didn't apply here
Me: But I like them! So please accept them!

I speak for everyone here when I say that I, FreakyFoucault, of the Grad Café, by the utter lack of authority not vested in me, hereby declare, in the most solemn of asseverations, that you, @Warelin, also of the Grad Café, are forthwith granted tenure at the institution of your choosing!! 

Have a nice career!

Yeah, i hate to agree but i think they're done. 

I'm personally gonna call it a rejection now so I can move on and stop feeling poorly about it...

I don't think they're done notifying yet. There are several (mostly state) schools that nominate people for certain school-wide fellowships before they complete their entire admissions classes.  I hope you get a response soon though.

@chellyfish_ this was what I was talking about! @Warelin knows more about these things than I do.

I'm trying to find patterns for Arizona State (Writing, Rhetorics, and Literacies PhD) and Tennessee (Rhetoric, Writing, and Linguistics PhD), but the results seem all over the place. 

Does anyone have info on these two? I saw an acceptance to the lit PhD at UTK, but I'm starting to think that many departments handle the concentrations separately?

Excuse me while I have repeated panic attacks for the next week because of NYU and Irvine

I recall seeing a UC Irvine Ph.D acceptance in the list somewhere, I don't think anyone's claimed it though. Either way, hopefully it means we'll be hearing back sooner than later. 

[themoderncondition]

Come on, NYU—let’s have a surprise early result before the weekend!

[punctilious]

BU and Brown, please talk to us today!!!

[LexHex]

I emailed the University of Kansas and they said they hope to start sending word today through next week

I feel like next week is going to be even more brutal for Nor'easters. There's a CHANCE the other schools in NY/NJ/CT/PA will send results, but they'll prob keep us in suspense until President's Week. 

[themoderncondition]

Also NOT FAIR that the words "Submitted" and "Admitted" are so similar

UCLA News: Both my friend and I received document-tracker notifications that UCLA opened our official transcripts. The last time that happened was a few days after the Dec. deadline. 

Update: the doc was opened and printed today as well, so they're probably still in deliberation. Until next week, @la_mod!

[mads47]

@Mellowyellow and everyone else applying to UCLA--they finally have the application materials in the online portal up to date, so that is hopefully a good sign!

I didn't apply to any UC's, but I guess this question still might be relevant to other schools: if there's been no activity with your application in the portal since December (no dates for when different components were marked "received" or something similar since then), could that at all reasonably be interpreted as a sign that they don't care at all about your application? I may kind of be spiraling.

Yeah don't read into it. None of my schools have shown activity, including the places i was accepted.

ya spiraling! UCLA is my only school where there have been changes and that's only because they've migrated their application to a new format and asked for an official transcript.

Thanks @Mellowyellow and @unicornsarereal! That's a relief. Now onto finding other ways to not do my job right now...

They aren’t sending official acceptances until the end of February, that result was probably an unofficial acceptance.

How do you know they’re not sending out official acceptances until then?

also, I’ll take an unofficial acceptance too, ha

The end of February, ouch. Based off the dates from last year I was hoping it'd be during the 2nd full week of February.

That's been really bugging me because I saw it pop up this week but nobody has claimed it, nobody else has posted a decision from Irvine, it's uncharacteristically early (by about four or five days), and Irvine doesn't typically notify by phone. They've said in pretty much every stage of the application process that they notify by email so it's really iffy for me but I hope it's just somebody who called early and got a decision, and that they're still going to be releasing acceptances soon.

Hi! I posted the Irvine acceptance that’s up. I just found this thread, and i’m sorry that its been giving you so much anxiety! I got a call from the grad director last weekend letting me know i was accepted and inviting me to campus. He said official offers would be sent out on the 16th though. I’m guessing that since no one else has posted theirs and official offers are still a week out, a fair amount of acceptances haven’t been notified yet! Hope this helps!
