No, but I feel like maybe it's too early? Seems like it was unofficial
Might not be actually. Last year all the offers went through by the end of January ( according to gradcafe) hence the cold sweat.
One more person has posted and I am also panicking here a little bit. If there are no further rounds of offers, then this might be the end of the lane with this university.
well at least its applied mathematics so I am hoping the pure maths folks still have a chance

So, we should expect decisions from Berkeley and MIT by 15th Feb, right? Any other places, particularly among (Stanford, UIUC, UCSD, UCSB, NYU, Purdue, Wisconsin), that should send offers by that time too?
NYU has been very quiet. I think they haven't even read the application, as I check the view of my video statement. They haven't watched it yet.

I feel like a lot of departments are taking longer with admissions/being slower at releasing acceptances due to the ~times~ that we are in. I wouldn’t have the highest hopes for tomorrow, but in this process we all have to stay optimistic.
And there’s no harm in having a self care day tomorrow regardless of what happens!

For anyone applying to UT Austin - I noticed that my application portal status changed to "Your file has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review." from simply just saying "Your file for admission is in review".
Does anyone know anything about this?

Yes I submitted my application in late November and it took them two weeks to change my status to "Your file has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review." I guess that just means the grad school has received all the materials and handed the application to the department.

real sorry for spamming but those of you who have applied to either of these schools.Can you kindly check and let me know what it says on the portal !
If its an actual issue then I might have to mail the grad office. Thanks

I applied to CMU and my portal says submitted. Most other portals to schools I applied to say the same thing, I don't think it is a problem.

Not necessarily. Last year UW released applied math results in January and didn't release any pure results until late Feb and early March. So I do not expect them soon.

UW watched my application video a few days ago. I submitted my app (for pure math) on Nov.30.

I applied to UC Davis and received an unofficial offer, but my portal hasn't changed at all. It says "your application for Mathematics has been submitted".

I got scared after my rejection from UC Berkeley. The rejection email stated that they had so many applications for this year, 800 applicants for a class size of 30. I guess they usually had 490 applicants for a class size of 41. Will this tragedy reoccur for other universities. I really hope to get into Texas at Austin. How competitive is it compared to UC Berkeley?

Don't worry! I think it won't be quite as hectic for other universities. Because there was no mGRE this year, this encouraged many more people to apply to more competitive universities than otherwise, since the mGRE was the unfortunate determinant of eligibility to apply to many of those sorts of places. I feel like the top 10 schools were overwhelmed with applications this year, but other schools have much more reasonable numbers of applicants.
