I wish I knew when Berkeley ARE was sending decisions. Nobody seems to talk much about them on these boards and the gradcafe entries are pretty sparse.

Ah, it's just a way of saying that I think there is a high probability of this happening. No real money is involved

Oh, and good luck to everyone. Any bets on how many times gradcafe crashes throughout the day?

Sadly, no, my buddy. Neither at NYU Stern. I am just "waiting for the boot" from both places. They already notified their admitted candidates. I am simply not one of them.

They're listed as "Waiting" because I already know that their decisions have been made and communicated (for the specific programs I applied to...Op Mgmt at Sloan and Econ at Stern), but I have received no news so far. Those programs will get out of the list as soon as the application status changes from "under review" to something else. It's not a waiting list by any means. It's a situation of "highly likely reject", more than anything else.

I would have to list UCLA there as well, but since I called the secretary and confirmed the post-interview decision over the phone ("off the admit list"), I can confidently put it as a reject.

My hopes are on UCSD and Brown, simply because they have not massively notified anyone yet (just a couple of early admits, nothing else).

She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire."

AT: I sincerely hope that you will get into both with the stellar profile that you have !!

Also, only one program has informed me so far. I found a slew of rejections via website for UMD today on gradcafe so I checked and found that it says under mine "Pending Decision". Does this mean I am on the waitlist?

Nope. Pending Decision just means that no decision has been posted for you. Mine has said that for months.

Who cares about funding? I would go to UCSD even if they made me pay. Oh, wait a minute...

I wasn't expecting much tomorrow, but after reading this thread, no I am nervous. Why should I do this to myself...
