unofficial notification. Didn't get an interview. letters coming out early in March.

I contacted my interviewers to ask about my status because I would be in the vicinity around their Open House date, and got a reply that while my application was very strong, I didn't make the final cut a few days ago. They said official word probably only goes out next month.

Paper review task.

archaeology track. received official email from GSAS with acceptance and fellowship info!

Short list and need to review a paper

Need to review a paper

short list- need to review a paper now

Surprising - I assumed I had been rejected. Already been accepted elsewhere, so not a big deal either way.

Hep-th. Unofficial acceptance: email from dpt that I am "recommended to the GSAS for admission" and tells me to wait for the official acceptance from GSAS. Invited to open house. Finally after 2 rejections I have an acceptance!

after interview a month ago

short wait-list, received hundreds of applications, this year's pool was one of the strongest we have ever received

Personal phone call. No specific details about funding, though it's a five-year package. I'm floored.

Got an e-mail from POI asking for a quick Skype conversation, during which she told me the dept had recommended me for admission. The official offer will be sent to me later, after the grad school does the proper paperwork, but the decision's made. Bliss!
