Sorry. I just noticed my typo. I did not get the sense that UW had the same positive dept. culture, but I do not want to suggest that UW has a bad department culture. I just did not get the sense that it was as positive at UCI's.
-
I was accepted at both UCI and UW (ultimately declined both offers). I would have preferred UCI for a few reasons. I got the sense that UCI has a pretty positive department culture (and I think this is broadly part of their reputation). Didn't get that same sense from UCI. Also, it seemed like UCI's finances were in better shape than UW's. UCI also takes care of housing concerns.

What areas are you interested in? COMO is great, but I think living in Riverside would be cool.

So, I am on the waitlist at three schools, and I recently got accepted (off the waitlist) at another. A few of the places that I got waitlisted told me to let them know if I get any admissions offers at other schools that I applied to. My top choice school where I am currently waitlisted did not ask me to tell them if I get in anywhere (but did ask me to inform them if I had a dominating offer -- which I do not have). I am trying to figure out whether or not I should contact that top choice school to let them know about the admissions offer. Does anyone know why they ask about this or how it factors into the decision to accept you off the waitlist?

I guess I do not know much about OSU AEDE, but I would think that UCSB would be the better choice. Go to the visit days for sure.
-
At this point, has anyone either been accepted off of a waitlist? Do we think the WLs are going to not start clearing until close to April 15?

What makes people say columbia posts were trolls? I know that the GC posts said they were notified via phone (which is different from previous years). But I thought maybe they were calling people because smaller cohort size.
-
Seems like Columbia already called people who were getting in. Also saw a rumor somewhere that their class was going to be super small. Hoping for a waitlist at this point. Northwestern could be any day.

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).
-
Last year, I applied 13 places and followed GC pretty closely. I did the thing where I assumed implicit rejection from places that had sent out their acceptances. Turns out that one of the places that I thought implicitly rejected me ultimately accepted me (no waitlist either) on April 1. Ultimately decided not to go, but served as a good reminder that I should not be putting too much stock on the implicit rejection thing. It's definitely a bad sign if you see a bunch of acceptances go up, but it is by no means a dagger. Also, this is a particularly weird cycle. More schools may do multiple rounds of acceptances / rejections (see Northwestern last year).
