It took me awhile to tell - all I was looking at at first was the "decision has been reached" part lol, and last year when I was denied all the rejection language was at the top.
Ahhhhhh congrats! You so so so deserve this :D
Thanks! :) :) :)

Omg in via status checker! Applied 12/1. Can't believe it. It is such an amazing school especially for my interests (PI).

Just a note: last year there was a wave of acceptances on Tuesday (19th) and then a wave of rejections on Friday of that same week (22nd).

Just got the email from Dean Tom confirming admission! So not too much of a delay between status checker and email.

Is the average wait time from under review to decision about 1 month?

I submitted early December and went under review last week which was annoyingly longer than I thought it would take.

I've been under review since October 13th. Not-so-patiently waiting for that ding.

Signed up for an account today to ask if anyone else's Mailings section is empty? I'm wondering if this is a glitch/worth sending an e-mail to Boalt about or if everyone's app screen looks like this.

Are you talking about for the status checker?

1. Generally speaking, mailing sections aren't the important part of status checkers lol.
2. Mine is empty too. Just relax. No need to email them.

Yes, I'm talking about the status checker. I just thought it was strange since I have received e-mails from them. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah. No need to worry! Like I said, even if it weren't the case that it was "normal", the mailing updates aren't super important in the grand scheme of things.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
