Good luck man. You already have a great masters as you told earlier in posts at this forum. May as well build further and apply in next cycle to a university which pays a real living wage instead of measly stipend?
Yes, exactly that. Thats a good thing. You seem to be on kind of informal waitlist. Because acceptances and rejections are out for I.R on survey page since early February!
I think stipends are not tagged with COL as reflected by living wage ratio on that website. It gives one a good estimate what one is getting him/her self into because five years is a very long time. And considering financial details are very important and should be incorporated in decision making because living five years being financially stressed would be horrible!
How likely do you think it is that a university say american releases it acceptances for PhD program and it doesnt get updates on results survey page because none of the 10 or 15 guys follow the survey page or dont feel appropriate doing it?
Thanks God i found someone to talk this about. I applied to Public Pol/Adm. Got told at 12th feb, acceptances will go out in ten days. Emailed ast week to check and got replied file under consideration and review process is ongoing!
