How long after the deadline will you get the admission result?

Other than the waitlisted, for the people who the adcom is sure to admit, will they notify intermediately or do they wait for a while to email the people they admit?

The earliest admits start rolling in around the beginning of February. I didn't hear from MIT last year until April 4th. I'd say expect most of them from around Feb 10 - March 15, but it depends on where you are applying. As before, check thegradcafe to see what different schools did last year.

When I applied two years ago, I heard back from most schools between mid-February and mid-March. However, Ohio State kept me waiting for any notification until late May.

As jeeves0923 pointed out, thegradcafe.com is a great place to get an estimate for when schools usually send out their admits. I think in the case of bojangles, something was just on his side that year at Virginia. I don't expect that to usually happen for any schools inside the top 25.

Agreed that the top schools are quite predictable timing-wise. Lower-ranked schools are different though I think; I've already been accepted for a program that has an application deadline in January.

Wow, seems that they make decisions sometimes even before the deadline?
