Sorry for the hassle you went through. It's no problem. I'm glad they allow me to interview, even though I didn't get in.

It was, it was in english but it was not an american institution so they sent me an email saying they want it also in original language which makes absolute no sense to me as they would not be able to understand it

My university offers official transcripts in multiple languages to help out graduating students, and for whatever reason one of the American universities I applied to also requested a native language copy, even though the English copy is considered official by my university.

And did you hear back anything regarding your decision from that school?

No, but it was all the way back in December. At the school that requested them the application goes to the graduate office, I think they check that everything is complete, and then send complete applications to the department. Pretty sure it's just a university wide policy that if transcripts are from a non-English speaking country they like to have both just to be careful, at least at the university I applied to.

I don't want to discourage you though, because maybe it does mean something in your case! I just wanted to share that I also found it weird how a university would make such a request, but I'm sure there's a logical explanation for them.
SDMSK Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Received a rejection from Emory 15 minutes ago. Emailed from DGS. It mentioned "I regret to inform you that the faculty in the program you applied to has not recommended you for admission". Does this mean I passed the ad comm review but not accepted by the POI? I'm a little confused by the sentence.

To people that have received results: did you hear them via email or did you ever find out by checking an application submission page? For me, it was the results page on this website. Someone else (thank you, kind stranger) had checked the application submission page, and directed us there. There was an informal email that followed, about 6 hours later, and a formal email a few days afterwards. From what I can tell, there seems to be two fairly normal possibilities with admissions notifications: you either find out on the application portal first, then an email following a few hours later, or the exact opposite. That being said, it makes it a bit difficult to give you a straightforward answer. You might consider searching the results page to see if anyone left comments about how they were notified in the past few years from the institution you applied for if you think it might ease your mind a bit. Personally, I wouldn't fret if you haven't heard anything yet. It's still really early in the admission cycle. I'm not counting on hearing back from any of my other schools for at least another two weeks. (1a/0w/0r/4p)

izmir Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 The GradCafe should make an app that can send notifications. I am tired of refreshing the page ?
skhann Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Just got an email from UMinn saying admission decisions will be sent out the week of Feb. 19. Rejection radar on.

skhann Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 The decisions were sent out around Feb. 10 last year.

Who does? That's part of the application cycle. I'm wondering if anyone can claim any interviews or personal emails etc. That would indicate how far along they are in the selection process.
