Accepted to Yale and Umich, I hope this helps folks feel validated that one rejection isn't a personal failing. Good Luck to everyone!

No email. I checked the portal to find the decision.

Ignore the status. Has anyone heard from UPenn GSE yet? Any interview going out yet?

Ignore this...has anybody heard back from upenn religion

1st sign of life, not ideal but not bad!!

Never understood why I was rejected. Was graduated from an Ivy League Uni. Perfect grade. Strong lors. Ouch, it stings

Ignore WL. I havent heard from any of these schools. Anyone on the same boat?

TPB: First, you should be kidding! In most fields and also generally, Chicago is better than the others you mentioned. Second, as far as I know, UPenn does not offer funding, which I guess makes the entering class a bit weaker than previous years. Third, there is no convincing. All the options are good and you might have special reasons for choosing each one. Forth, you do have a very small effect on the others being called from the waitlists. Try to be a little nice for your own questions. Good luck.

Got offers from all three. Convince me which I should pick. The faster you do this, the quicker you'll ascend from the depths of the crevasse that is the waitlist.

I never got a notification to check or an email or anything but I figured I'd go through and check the portal anyways. Rejection letter from a week ago. Oh well.
