| Georgetown University | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 24 Feb 2021 | A | 24 Feb 2021 | - Email to check portal. Really bummed at just how soul-crushing this cycle is. 0a/3r/1w/8
|
| University Of Minnesota | Biomedical Engineering, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 24 Feb 2021 | A | 24 Feb 2021 | - TTPB: thanks, and best of luck to you too. I emailed a different dept administrator back in January asking about interviews, and they said in general an applicant is interviewed if the adcom decides to "pursue that route" with that applicant's file. From the wording of that response, it seems like interviews and/or meetings indeed aren't a guarantee that an applicant will be admitted. Best of luck to everyone on here this cycle.

| University Of Michigan (Ann Arbor) | Sociology, PhD (S21) | Accepted via Other on 24 Feb 2021 | | 24 Feb 2021 | - TTPB: You study sociology and say that kind of crap? We all have different starting points - there are socioeconomic factors, some have abundant resources while others don't, some were affected by covid more than others, etc. Admission to a program should not be used as a proof of one's capability. "Only a very, very, VERY select few can be admitted." Sure, people who are accepted do deserve their offer - they worked hard for it. But this does not make those rejected incapable or unworthy. Even if you are right, please read the room. People are devastated and this is about their future. The commenter below was obviously trying to bring up the mood and encourage everyone to feel better.

| University Of Pennsylvania | Mechanical Engineering, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 24 Feb 2021 | | 24 Feb 2021 | - TTPB: They did say 13 new PhD admits. Wasn't clear if it was for Fall '20 or '21. Either way it wasn't helpful and an absolute waste of time. Basically info anyone could get from looking at the webpage you should be happy you didn't attend. They did say you should assume you are still in the running till April 15th or you get a rejection which is just BS.
|
| Cornell University | Policy Analysis & Management, PhD (F21) | Rejected via Other on 24 Feb 2021 | | 24 Feb 2021 | - Is it clarified that everyone who is admitted was notified? Also, did everyone who was rejected from the program have to email the department to ask? I haven’t been accepted or rejected yet and I realize that previous years, people were accepted (and rejected) on different days. It’s only Wednesday, so my guess is that more people will find out decisions as the week goes on? Sorry this is long, but only one person seems to have been accepted, so I thought I’d ask 😊

| Boston University | Economics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 24 Feb 2021 | I | 24 Feb 2021 | - Not Wl. TPB: When did you receive the email? Thanks!

♦ | I | 24 Feb 2021 | - Received email from Associate Director of Graduate Program this afternoon. Interviewed with three professors during Visit Week last week. I was told by a few faculty members that the committee was meeting today to match PhD students with supervisors and that most offers would be made this week. Some offers may continue to trickle out as funding decisions are solidified; however, they said not everyone from Visit Week would be granted an offer due to funding limitations so it is unlikely offers will be made to those not invited to Visit Week.

| University Of Texas At Austin | Physics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 24 Feb 2021 | O | 24 Feb 2021 | - Have all the admits been sent out? Applied in NR. Ignore the wait listed status, not being able to choose "others" option.
|
| Boston College | Finance, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 20 Feb 2021 | O | 24 Feb 2021 | - Big congs to you who received the offer! If you get better offers, please decline this ASAP. This could really help me, for I got ddl on Mar.3. Best luck to all of us! Thanks a lot.
|
| Yale University | Computational Biology And Bioinformatics (CBB), PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 24 Feb 2021 | A | 24 Feb 2021 | - Received email to check my portal and received the letter of admission!
|
| University Of Illinois Urbana Campaign (UIUC) | Statistics, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 24 Feb 2021 | I | 24 Feb 2021 | |
| University Of Iowa | Marketing, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 24 Feb 2021 | U | 24 Feb 2021 | - TTPB: Are you being waitlisted by Iowa? Are you CB or Quant? I haven't heard from them yet after the interview, and I have known so many people getting rejected. I am kinda worried right now, because I think maybe their decisions are separated based on CB and Quant. Greatly appreciate if you can answer. To both of you, you are worthy and best of luck to all of us!!!

| Case Western Reserve University | Clinical Psychology, PhD (F21) | Interview via E-mail on 24 Feb 2021 | A | 24 Feb 2021 | - I saw some people asking about acceptances - I had an interview on 2/5 and the PI I spoke with told me the department met on 2/19 to make decisions but I haven't heard anything yet - I was in a decent amount of contact with him after the interview. Just thought I'd let you know!
