You can check gradcafe for admission / rejection email dates. From what I've seen, most admissions from top schools happen during January to early February (with a few exceptions) and rejections come sometime later (say late January to late February / March).
For example last year Chicago started sending out acceptances during the second week of January. It looks like Stanford, Princeton, MIT, Berkeley and the like send out their offers usually mid to late January.

Thank you. Honestly I find gradcafe hard to navigate...

I am having a similar issue. At this point I will start sending out reminders every three days until December 7th, then every day afterwards.

Yeah it's not the prettiest looking site ever. But in about two months time most of us will be checking it very frequently anyway.
I decided to not be productive and look up acceptance / rejection mailing dates for a few top universities (based on whataver available data there is at gradcafe):
I wouldn't say all of them are accurate predictors of the future but you can see certain trends. In particular a lot of the top ones tend to send out their acceptances in January and early February.
Anyway maybe this will be useful in two months time

If I had a dollar for every person who suffered an anxiety attack because of this forum, I could probably buy my way into Harvard.
Peregrine wrote:Just a quick question:
If a school states on their website that they will start reviewing applications on a certain date, approximately how long after that date should students be expecting acceptances/rejections?
Thanks.

It says via website... That's a bit weird, I thought they do it by email only?

From the UChicago website:
"Once an update has been made to your application status, you will receive an email directing you to log into our application system to view your decision. Most programs will not provide decisions via email or phone."
