I had assumed a rejection because of the results posted here weeks ago, but then an acceptance email arrived this morning! 1a/3w/1r/8p

one of my recommenders submitted their letter two months late, may have something to do with it

My area is ‘Japanese Studies'. I don't have a master's degree.

1r/9p

Accepted with an invitation to tour campus in a month

Was invited to interview in January; received waitlist notification on Feb 9.

No GRE

Email from Graduate Advisor congratulating me!

GPA is MA GPA, BA was 3.855; Woke up in the middle of the night and saw that the department recommended me for admission via email message; was not previously invited to interview. Previous third authorship in social sciences; 1 admit, 1 waitlist at UChicago, 1 denial from Texas; waiting on Princeton, Cornell, and Columbia.

Interviewed on Jan 20th. Still waiting for any response. Others have been admitted so I'm not too positive anymore :(

Was invited to interview with three faculty members. Questions were provided in advance, which I really appreciated. Expected result in a few weeks.

Generic rejection email. Really disappointed.

Received admission from the program director. Still waiting on financial offer.

Got a call from the program director and an email offer the next day. Was also nominated for two additional fellowships! Definitely my top choice at the moment!
