I applied a couple of months ago to graduate school and I have been anxiously awaiting to know if I got in. The deadline to the school is February 2nd. Do most schools let you know after the deadline?

Most graduate programs abide by the guidlines set by their governing associations (The Council of Graduate Schools, the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools, etc.), and make all notifications by April 15.
Some programs elect to notify some students sooner, especially when they are offering awards to top students whom they want to encourage to seriously consider their program.
Since the deadline to the school you're concerned about is Feb 2, you probably won't hear anything until *at least* the end of March. This is because no applications are looked at until all are received and complete. Then, all faculty have to look at all applications. Then, a series of meetings have to be scheduled, in which admissions decisions are are made. With faculty's busy schedules, this takes some time.

regrettably, Johns Hopkins and Columbia are very stats-pushed colleges; they are no longer going to care a lot about your linguistic capacity in case you're aiming for an engineering degree and don't have properly grades in that section. Cornell's a touch friendlier to community college scholars who've made good, notwithstanding it truly is nevertheless very, very aggressive. would not advise you won't be able to attempt, notwithstanding. And undergo in concepts: in case you're questioning engineering, there's a good probability you'll favor a graduate degree in some unspecified time sooner or later. in case you do nicely for the period of a few thing else of school everywhere you ultimately end up, you are able to always target severe there...or only attempt to differentiate your self on your occupation, the position it fairly counts.

You and I are in a similar situation. I applied to various schools and am anxiously waiting for a response. I was told most grad schools mail out their decision in the last week of march and early week of april

I actually heard back from Northwestern today (I got in, YAY) which is much earlier that I expected to hear back from them (their application deadline was Dec 31st). I think a lot of schools look at your materials as they come in though, so I don't think it would be unreasonable to hear back from the school before Feb 2nd. Good luck!
