Does anyone know why those Penn acceptances are missing on the results board?

I can see the acceptances and rejections still just by searching "English" and scrolling down.

Ok, whomever posted the Trump University acceptance--you win today! Literally laughing & made me so happy when I normally have so much anxiety looking at that survey page! :-P

Hahaha loved it.

Too good - needed that today.

Do we know if Yale is done notifying their lucky applicants? 

Probably, although I'm retaining a (tiny) bit of hope because I applied to one of the joint programs (Renaissance studies) which I'm fantasizing may take longer because the apps have to clear two committees.

I see the Trump joke has inspired someone else than me :P

Today has been rather slow...

I am caught in the situation that according to gradcafe, my remaining schools do not notify until Late February / Early March. There's a big gap between my early acceptances and the later ones, and I need to restrain myself from making impulsive decisions.

It's funny -- I've been in a couple PMs with other GCers and we've all said the exact same thing: it's hard not to just commit to one program (even if we only have one and are waitlisted elsewhere...) and be done with it.

But as I always say...it's best to respect the process and just wait it out. It's more vexing, but it makes the most sense.

I got an email from UBC yesterday, saying that the GC has offered me an admission. My first acceptance, hooray! Though I'm still waiting for other result turnouts, I've started to consider accepting this offer. (Only if the costs were not so intimidating!)

 

 

Congrats!

Congrats! I'm the other UBC acceptance a few days ago, and I've started to consider it too! The costs, while still more than I'd prefer, are honestly less than I expected. Probably because I have American private tuition as a benchmark in my head since I did my undergrad somewhere that was like $24k per semester (if I hadn't had crazy scholarships and grants) and UBC is still less than half that per year. It's also pretty much the best fit for my research interest given the Oecologies group, so I'm pretty stoked about it.

Congratulations and good luck to anyone still waiting!

Has anyone heard anything from Columbia yet, or anything concrete from Michigan?

There have been some Michigan acceptances on the board! Some of their joint programs have not notified yet (that anyone on GC knows of)

Yeah! I've seen a lot of them were informal offers with a formal offer to follow this week--I'm using it as a reason to hold out hope for waitlist, and not just strike them off my list :/

Columbia's AdCom does not meet until this Friday, so that's the earliest we'll hear, but most likely next week!

Congrats @cloudyword and @eadwacer on the UBC acceptances! Vancouver is a beautiful city. Just to double-check, were your acceptances for the MA or the PhD program? I applied to the PhD program but I heard they only took 4 people last year so it's quite a competitive institution.
