Statistics, Rice University Whole experience was so bizarre... applied priority and they waived my application fee without telling me which was nice. Then they completely ghosted me, so I (politely) emailed twice asking for updates. The first time I got a very rude response back (where they couldn't even spell out complete words... wrote please as "pls" etc), the second time was ghosted. Then I got an official rejection today days AFTER the decision deadline has already passed... the whole process was just so unbelievably unprofessional and left a bad taste in both mine and all of my current professors' mouths. I ended up getting into a much better program so alls well that ends well for me, but I would highly discourage future applicants from applying... if this is how they treat their applicants, I doubt their PhD students are prioritized by the department. In any case, this whole process was not worth the headache. Thank god they waived my fee, at least I didn't lose any money on this :/

Physics, Northwestern University Have a MS and BS from top physics programs. Had applied for CMP-Th, I was looking to change and do not have a lot of background in that field. Interview in January. I have 4 physics papers and 1 math paper (all first author) in reputable journals. Strong letters of recommendation from different advisors. The interview was a bit weird, the PI I interviewed with knew I was new to the field and asked me some rather specific questions about his own research. Guess they wanted someone who could contribute right away? I was told by email that I was on the short-waitlist and then that there will be no more offers for the Fall.

History Of Art, University Of California, Santa Barbara From the beginning till now, NOT A SINGLE WORD from this department. DO NOT APPLY unless profs really fit your research area. 120+ dollars thrown in water. Might as well have donated them to charity. It is Aplir 18, I have not heard anything from them. No communication at all. Neither in the portal nor via email. Extremely unprofessional. I would expect our application fee to at least worth a written rejection letter? This is a joke. But anyways, got into somewhere suitable w amazing funding.

Creative Writing Fiction, Rutgers University–Newark first of all, the decision is super late. second, they didn't send an email or anything, checked portal and there was a one sentence response. "Your application has been reviewed, and the committee has denied admission." rutgers is a fucking mess and I'm glad I dodged this bullet

English, Syracuse University Rejected off the waitlist. My last notification and only waitlist. The DGS wrote a thoughtful email, albeit general missive to all waitlisters, notifying me of the waitlist. He responded in kind about my rejection. Grateful for a school/department that shows care and sensitivity among one-line cold rejections on portals. This ends this cycle (my first) for me. Sending strength to the waitlisted and rejected. You are more than this cycle. Perhaps I am too. May the force be with you. 0a/8r/0p/0w

Creative Writing Poetry, Rutgers University–Camden Despite being super late, the emailed rejection letter was actually very nice (compared to other schools). It says, "Thank you for your application to the MFA program at Rutgers University—Camden. We’ve read your application with great interest. Unfortunately, we’re unable to recommend your admission at this time. Competition for admission was especially intense this year. Our program is very small, which means we had to turn away many promising applicants. Please don’t take the admissions decision as discouragement about your writing. We truly wish it were possible to accommodate more writers at this time. Please accept all our best wishes for your future work. Thank you again."

Physics, University Of Pittsburgh Graduate co-ordinator informed me just a while ago. Official rejection letter will come soon. All the positions are filled. I had two papers, Particle Theory Masters from EU and 3 very strong reco letters. In my opinion the current requirements for International students are to have another PhD with 5 papers to get into anywhere top graduate program in Particle Theory.

Computer Science, Vanderbilt University Ignore waitlist status. It's past 4.15 and still haven't received any decision from Vanderbilt, shouldn't have applied to Vanderbilt and waste the application fee. All other programs I applied to have at least some decision.

Philosophy, City University Of New York (CUNY) (Ignore waitlist.) Don't know whether the application season is as brutal every year, but it seems this year's been very tough for many of us. I've applied to 23 schools, got waitlisted at 3 mid-ranked ones, accepted to 1 of those 3, and still waiting to hear from CUNY, FSU, and UC Davis. Congratulations to those of you who got their offers, good luck to those of you who are hanging there by a thread still waiting to hear back from a school, and of course wish a better season to all those who will be reapplying in the next year.

English, Dartmouth College It's me again. As April 15th ends, I hope all of you got something out of this application cycle. Take this fake Dartmouth submission as your sign of closure, no more checking gradcafe. If you are starting a program this Fall, you did AMAZING. If you are not, you did AMAZING. None of us boarded this ship unprepared and what matters is that we are done. Go chug some water, pat your back, order some pizza, and delete gradcafe from your most searched list.

Finance, University Of California, San Diego Rejection came through portal, I’m sure they are sending mass rejections being that today is the last day. Such a tough experience especially having to wait this long just for a rejection but we don’t give up we try again next year. Congrats to all that made it.
