Hi all,

seeing the trend at gradcafe.com.... Is it that universities once starting giving out rejections....it can be anticipated that eventually you will get rejection...or acceptance with no aid..

as it appears acceptance mails are sent way before the rejection mails...

comments on the above conjecture???

first acceptance and then rejection seems to be the trend. Universities seem to first make sure they roll out enough admits before giving rejections.

Can this be derived as logical consequence of this process:
The later it is the more the probability that you will be rejected

such logical consequence would definitely take the nerve of all those waiting weeks to get the status....

just hoping and wishing its not true!!!

If you follow thegradecafe.com , you can tune your expectations. For example, X is still sending acceptances and has not started sending rejections. And Y has not yet started sending decisions.

But, the sample is skewed for sure, rejected people are a more unlikely to post their results there.

I recently mailed to Cornell University asking about my application, they replied that they are now considering the domestic applicants and taking interviews of them; then the international applicants will be considered after filling up the position with the domestic applicants.

It is true that acceptance should come early than rejections since accepted students need to be given some times to think over the decision.
