emailed dept and was told that they are still reviewing apps and will announce decisions soon.

Interviewed & accepted but without any funding. :( No bueno. I'm going to decline. Hope someone else can take the spot. Good luck all!

Hadn't heard anything yet. Online it said those asked to interview would be notified by mid feb. Called to say I hadn't heard anything yet and they said most likely I had been rejected and would be receiving a letter on the mail. So upset : ( they only accept students in the fall... I'm going to have to wait a whole year to reapply.

They've provided the nicest rejection letter so far. Already 5 rejections, only waiting to hear from a few more schools :-( I wonder if other students who are just getting their BA like me have gotten accepted into a doctoral program? "The Committee thanks you for the care and thoroughness you have shown in completing your application. We realize that the Committee's decision may come as a disappointment to you and are sincerely sorry that it is not possible for us to grant you an opportunity to continue your education here. The Committee's decision should not be understood as a reflection of your ability or potential. Because so many more students apply than we can properly support, there are a number of students who go unaccepted each year. Unfortunately, because of the volume of applications we receive and school policy, we are not permitted to provide individualized feedback on your application. "

Really patronizing e-mail.

Meh.

From the website:rn"All applicants who have been offered admission or placed on the wait list have been contacted via phone and/or email as of February 24, 2011. All applicants will receive a formal notification of the decision from the admissions office."rn

I can verify with the poster below about the interview--tons of people are interviewed. :( They also have a make-up interview day...

I know!! I wonder exactly how many people are getting interviewed.. what kind of questions would they ask?? It must be a group interview!

So excited! But got a little bummed when I read the comment below. Are we sure that is correct?! There is only one interview day so surely they couldn't interview hundreds of people right?

To the poster asking about the interview: MANY, MANY, MANY people are interviewed. Although many people are just immediately rejected, you are not unforunately now facing a smaller admissions pool because you are being interviewed. I only know this from experience. I am a first year graduate student so I have been there, done that. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!
