I received an email letter today saying that I was not accepted to the University of Chicago. We expected this, since we saw on a blog that those who were accepted heard on the 17th of February (I have no clue why they wait so long to send out rejections when they know 2-3 weeks earlier). We were hoping that I'd get a nod from UofC so we would have an opportunity to move back to Chicago--where we would ultimately want to end up. The remaining schools I have not heard from are Columbia, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and North Carolina--Chapel Hill.
On better news, I have had a great phone conversation with my potential advisor at Harvard yesterday, and I will visit at the end of the month. Next week I will visit Princeton and meet with potential advisors, other graduate students, and an administrator.
