Yeah, that's what I remember.

Any chance it could be this week?

Nice, I think this is an indication that they are at the end stages

[Prester John]

It was released in a scattered manner last year. Between March 9 and 12. So anything can happen. But I guess, not until later this week...

Later this week would rock.

Compared to the action in the HKS thread, this one for WWS is amazingly quiet. The last communication from WWS was the automated mail upon submission of application. I guess this would erupt once the results are out.

FWIW I got a phone call informally notifying me of my acceptance to the WWS security studies PhD program yesterday.

I know that it isn’t the program you all are waiting for, but I thought I would pop in here from the political science board and let you all know.

Congratulations! Keeping my fingers crossed for the MPA announcement.

Wow. Congratulations! Very happy for you.

We await the MPA results now.

I rolled an 18 on WWS coming out today with my DnD 20 sided dice so I'm gonna guess today for MPA xD.

[Prester John]

Can have a realistic expectation for tomorrow, but not today I guess!

[Prester John]

And I think the rejected ones get to know first seeing the results page

Why not today? 

[Prester John]

It has never come this early before. The earliest was 9th last year

Not sure if this is true. I seem to recall that last year there was a gutting rolling notification, with admits getting direct emails first and the remainder (myself included) getting updates via the portal. notified later via email.

There's also the YES! emails that go out to admits only a few days before official results, right? I was thinking those could go out this week.

Oh is it? As in emails go before the updates in the portal? My inferences are all only based on the entries in the results page!

If you look at the 2017 and earlier threads, you'll see WWS has a habit of sending these email a few days before official results, yes.

So, last year on the 10th (second Friday of the month and the Friday before the official results date) notifications started coming out via email on a flow basis. Double-checking my emails just now I'm seeing that I did get a rejection via email that day, but it was after a period of agonizing waiting.

That’s rough! I could see a few admit by email on the 9th and both admits and rejects via email on the 10th on the results page.

Yeah, looking back through everything, I saw the first acceptance notification on last year's thread posted at 9:44 AM EST, and I received my rejection email at 4:19 PM.
