I know one guy got admitted 1 week after submission in March. School said result will be sent out late this week or Monday next week. Did anyone get admitted already?

 

[achilles]

Paul, did you get an email saying you get admitted or an email saying decision is available (and you know it in that system)?

 

[Paul Mithouard]

Informal admission by email and then a few weeks later an email saying decision available.

 

[smile]

They worked really hard

i got my admit on a sunday afternoon

 

[kmisha]

achilles, congrats on your admission! Just saw your status change in the tracker. Did the email come from GSAS or from Prof. Smirnov?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

And if you decide to go there, please mark it your "Final Destination" in the Tracker as well

 

[kmisha]

Seems like admission decisions start to crop out slowly...another member just posted their result.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Yes, decisions are coming out in bunches. Please update your Tracker and select the Final Destination if you have made up your mind.

 

[descendents]

Why the admission results are out so fast this year ? According to Tracker, most results for fall'10 admission are out in late in March and early of April.

 

[kmisha]

Is it a general practice in all schools that part-time applicants are looked at after the full-time? A full-time applicant who applied a month after me posted his results already...

thanks kmisha

i got my email from gsas saying that the admission decision was available online ...
all the best to all the other applicants

 

[DaveWalsh]

My status has no changes at all...
Did someone say all the decisions could be sent out today?

 

[kmisha]

Still waiting... Though I am part-time. Where should one expect to see a status change? Under downloadable forms?

 

[DaveWalsh]

I guess thats the only way to check the status. Mine just shows " submitted and Yes, at department". Nothing else.

 

[felvarga]

Dave,
When did you submit your application?

 

[DaveWalsh]

I don exactly remember, but the Submission date online reads, Jan. 6 . Unsure when all completed
