Did you use previous years' Acceptance/Rejection threads?

I didn't, but do others?

Like many people on here, I was hesitant to post acceptance/rejection information as it happened. I'm wondering (and I'm guessing others may be too) if it is worth me taking the time to go back through my rejections and acceptances... getting the dates and adding them to the list. Is it worth everyone's time to do this?

My sense is that the main use of them is for future applicants to look back and see when decisions were made in past years. Otherwise, it's just interesting information for the rest of us. If you have data for a school that's not currently listed on either thread, it would probably be helpful to post. If not, totally your call...

Agreed, information on programs that no one posted dates for would be most valuable, while other programs less so. I definitely used previous years information for approximate dates to expect responses/drive myself crazy.

One thing that was nice about looking at multiple acceptance dates for one schools is that you can tell if schools accept slowly throughout the year after each interview date, or do a little throughout the year and then a significant number of acceptances after all the interviews are done (though some schools do just tell you this info off the bat).
