Is no news good news?

[SeePlusPlus]

Hi yall

I haven’t heard a single thing back from any of my programs yet. No interviews, no rejections, no acceptances from anywhere.

My question is: is no news good news? Like is it bad that I haven’t heard from anywhere yet?

Sub question: when schools make first round decisions, do they reject people in those first round decisions? Or do they just release some acceptances?

Thanks for any help!

It definitely depends on the school, so I would recommend checking gradcafe. If one of the places you applied to has send both acceptances and rejections but you haven't heard anything, you can safely assume you have been waitlisted.
