UCSD Decisions by the end of the week

I emailed the grad coordinator at UCSD a few days ago, and just got the following reply:

Decisions will be going out by the end of this week.

Holy crap. The week ends tomorrow!

"Your application is currently being reviewed by the admissions committee.
When a decision has been made you will be notified by email and the decision will be posted in this location."

Ah, the suspense. I figure we will be notified by e-mail in all likelihood?

[dafrk3in]

Yes. Holy crap.

I wonder if it is better to know that they are coming within a few days, or better not to know and just get notification. For now, I think the latter is true. Two or three weeks from now, it will probably be the former.

Ahh, this is just making my obsessive email checking even worse. I think the refresh of my email box has almost become a reflex action....

Good luck to all, hopefully finding out last isn't a bad thing!

Well. This should make this week a little more entertaining!

I got a similar email today. I had asked about six weeks ago whether my application was complete, and now got an answer that it was when it was sent out for review. She also said that decisions are due at the end of this week. I think the next two weeks will be interesting.

Yes. Holy crap.

I wonder if it is better to know that they are coming within a few days, or better not to know and just get notification. For now, I think the latter is true. Two or three weeks from now, it will probably be the former.

I so would have rather been surprised by my rejection tomorrow than be kept up all night tonight thinking about it

Thanks for the update though and Good Luck everyone!

There is a UCSD reject by email just posted on gradcafe... yikes.

Second UCSD reject at Gradcafe. Also, there was a waitlist for political economics at Stanford GSB. Anybody applied there? I applied to the Econ Policy there.

Third Reject for UCSD in gradcafe. I highly doubt that anyone is sitting there right now sending rejection emails out, so maybe during the day some people got rejected? Did anyone here on the board hear back yet?
