abcdefgh Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Does anybody have additional info on the waitlist game? Is it common to get accepted off the waitlists very late, close to April 15th? Or are these things often solved earlier? I have currently two waitlists and two acceptances In their waitlist letter, Princeton mentioned that usually, most of the applicants admitted from the waitlist get the offer on April 14-15th.

michaelangelo Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahasky Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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 think they have probably conducted all their interviews before first round of offers. But, I think in previous years there have been some candidates who received offers without an interview, so there's definitely still a chance. I'm hoping they'll send out offers this week.

funnyman Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Anybody know what is happening with LSE? Have all offers been sent out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

PhDreamer Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetfeet Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookeCalamari Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadInLongRun Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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.

Wahasky Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 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.

JamesAlexM Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Seems that ND starts to release offers. But it is quite weird as they have stated in the previous email that "In late February the Committee will choose finalists to participate in virtual interview days scheduled for the beginning of March 2021. A full interview schedule and additional details will be sent to the finalists once they are selected." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't received any emails nor any changes to the application portal. No idea what this means. Are they just scrapping the interviews? Or are the interviews only for certain candidates? Notre Dame is playing some mind games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yitz15 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Any info on Northwestern, NYU or Columbia? No idea about Northwestern or Columbia, but NYU definitely did their "we're emailing to see if you're still interested" thing yesterday (I have a friend who received the email). Last year they did the same thing on the 22nd and then sent more of those types of emails on the 25th as well as waitlists. So we could see a few more acceptances in a few days, but not many.

sweetfeet Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Any info on Northwestern, NYU or Columbia? 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.
