Off the waitlist! Thrilled.

Disgraceful and disrespectful - these are the only words I can use to describe the way the department handled the application process. I don't know what was going on behind the curtain, but please, treat us like adults and be transparent.

MyFile status: "reviewed-unsuccesful"

Ignore WL: TTPB - Thank you so much for your reply! I actually hadn't seen that update, so that's hugely reassuring, and nice to know they've provided an update. Good luck to you too!

Sigh... Id received: 14 Jan., rejection: 28 April, no waitlist, no reserve list, no transcript drop. Via LFY and via email a few hours afterwards. LL.M. from LSE (with Mid-Merit), 1 published article in an international journal, 2 research assistant positions, 1 offer to be a teaching assistant and a very niched PhD proposal, with 2 LSE professors nominated as supervisors (from whom I had previously received guidance re my proposal). Best of luck!

Finally!!

Ignore WL: Anyone have any idea when we might hear? Emailed the program coordinator who just directed me back to the department website, which doesn't have many details. Should I just assume a rejection at this point?

[NOT WL]: I applied 86 days ago today for early decision and when I asked for clarification around the 70-day mark I received a response that roughly equated to "you'll know when we know." Helpful. I've gotten to the point where I don't know that I would even attend if I was accepted because of how completely intractable the administration seems. Really poor form, Mannheim.

Received an email saying the portal had been updated. I received an offer from Oxford (my first choice) so this isn't too big of a deal, even if it is somewhat of a surprise.

Domestic student, meh GPA, strong letters of reference. Disappointed but not surprised.

Has anyone heard from MIT about the waitlist?

Did you guys receive any notifications? It's almost May!! Spare us!

Ignore the waitlist. Have any international applicants heard anything from the department yet?

Hello, again. This is the person that left a comment on 4/18. Thank you to the person below me for responding. Three days have passed and I haven't heard a peep from Columbia. Once I hear back, I'll make sure to note whether I was accepted or rejected here on Grad Cafe. Good luck!

I'm asking anyone who doesn't want their place, pls decide fast

Any news from the department? It has been one week after the April 15th deadline!

I was waitlisted in february.

Ignore waitlist - good to hear that they are making their decisions this week. Hopefully we will know by the end of this week or early next week how it went. I guess by this late stage we must be at the discussion table ie we haven't been cut early on? Best of luck to everyone!

Ignore the waitlist. The department informed me previously that the admissions committee would be meeting this week to discuss international applications. It would be strange if they had lied to me.

Yes I have been accepted and I am not a troll. I checked MyFile and there it was. I also waited a lot guys. You might also receive your results soon.
