It at least shows that the school is still interested in you otherwise they wouldn’t bother notifying you.

Unlike me, no school contacts me and no school wants me :lol:

Is there a reason you're being so pessimistic all the time?

Heck you already were admitted at a good place, got an interview somewhere else and UIUC contacted you as well, so your statement is just plain false dude lol.

Not to mention you seem to have a strong profile (good grades in advanced courses) and an 85% on the mGRE, which for some reason you think is horrible lmao. Obviously you'll get in some good places but you think you will be rejected everywhere. I don't know if you're doing this on purpose or really don't have a clue but you're making everyone else look bad
I apologize if my post has made people feel bad, and certainly that's not my intention. I don't feel optimistic because last year a friend of mine with much better background than me was rejected almost everywhere except his home institution. In addition, many of the schools I have applied to have released some offers but I have received none of them... Even though, I am not the only one who is under stressed in this forum and I am truly sorry if my post has potentially discouraged others.

Poked a professor from UCLA regarding admissions. He said, "If you haven’t heard anything yet, I’m afraid it doesn’t bode well, unfortunately. You may contact the grad vice-chair Prof. Hitrik, and ask."

I just wonder why all the offers from Gradcafe are from domestic students, does anybody know any international students who got admitted to UCLA?

Hi everyone,

Seems like University of Georgia is about to send their decisions :o .I'm an international student with a MGRE score of 590 (rest of my application is good). Feeling really nervous.

News for applicants which applied to Rutgers: Rutgers is going to send out letter in Monday.
I've also applied to Rutgers. But there is information that Rutgers pays serious attention to MGRE.
I guess I'll be rejected.

Only one person on gradcafe said that they got into UT Austin already. Is he/she just a special admit or has anyone else gotten a response from UT Austin?

Heard from UCLA that if you haven't heard back yet, then your chances are fairly slim. I'm surprised I haven't been rejected from NU yet. Most people who were rejected have much better profile than mine.

My friend got in Caltech on Feb.10th last year. Maybe next week there might be some news.
When did you get email from Berkeley? My Berkeley status says nothing, not sure if I still have a little chance.

Just saw this rejection in my inbox...

"I'm the director of graduate studies at JHU. Prof. Riehl passed along your email to me. I'm very sorry to let you know that we will not be able to accept your application to our graduate program. (We've sent our first round of acceptances, and are in the middle of processing rejections, which is why you haven't seen anything in the system yet.) We liked your application, but this was an unusually competitive year -- better applications than usual, and at the same time fewer openings."

4th year undergrad...here I come lol

Yup! Me too. Sounds like they will make that fellowship nomination decision next week. It is possible this implies admission, but nothing is guaranteed :shock:

Rejected from Harvard and Columbia in the morning. Love how this application season is going so far lol.

UIUC will be sending out first round acceptances for a few more weeks. Still haven't heard back from Northwestern.
