2021 Sweat Thread

Will there be multiple round of offers? Saw that many people applied to 20+ departments - I am guessing it will take a while to clear the market. IDK maybe I'm wrong.

Sorry, I have no special info on whether they'll do multiple rounds of offers. I'm guessing they'll waitlist some of the people interviewed (wouldn't be surprised if I'm waitlisted). I think you're right that waitlists, multiple rounds of offers, etc. will be more important this year and there will likely be a lot of movement as we get closer to April 15th.

In their waitlist letter, Princeton mentioned that usually, most of the applicants admitted from the waitlist get the offer on April 14-15th.

That's very bad to hear! I understand the market is tough but the risk of getting burned in the last days is real! I just hope one of my top choices left accepts me or that I get lucky with a waitlist.

Anyone heard back from Rotman (U Toronto)?

Does anyone have insights on what's up with University of Washington (Seattle)? Saw some rejections on GC, but it was only like 4 posts. I haven't heard from them (and nothing new in the application portal).

I also haven't heard from them. Checked portal. It's only showing "Submitted".

Anybody have any info about status of UCLA?

[CookeCalamari]

Does anybody know how many people were wait-listed by Princeton / the chances of getting off the wait-list? On GC it seems to be around 6-8 people but then again not everybody reports

Any idea on JHU? They have been awfully quite lately. Saw some interviews a while back. Should I assume IR since I haven't heard back from them.

I'm currently studying at JHU, am also a student of a prof on the admission committe. The most that I can tell you is that they have finished selecting potential admits and waitlists and if you still haven't heard back from them then it's most likely an IR.

Quite silent start of the week...

Quite silent start of the week...

Well, admissions seem to concentrate towards the back half of the week. I imagine many schools set goals to send out decisions by the end of X week. I'd expect we'll still get a couple waves by end of day Friday.
