Hi pippapants, thank you for being open to the discussion. Cost of living is definitely one of the most important factors when considering schools, especially at ph.d level. It sounded like you've made a good choice. Because of the nature of my research interest (homelessness), all of the schools I applied to were in urban cities, and I was lucky to be offered with tuition waiver and stipend for the first two years at NYU, and the school said they have strong record of supporting students financially for the remaining years. Regardless, Ph.d. is a tough path, not only financially, but psychologically and emotionally. Hope we will all get paid back.

Hi- I have been accepted into NYU with full financial package. I am happy with that and will accept the offer. Wondering if anyone else is going also? It seems not a lot of people are applying for NYU (at least not as I know) and I hope it's not a bad sign about the school. Please let me know if you are going to NYU for Ph.D!

Hi, Yes NYU is my first and only choice. I called admission office yesterday and confirmed that they are still trying to figure out about extending enrollment number. They did advise that if you have other option that's pending decision, you should write to the admission office and let them know. Although I am not 100% sure if that will definitely help. Congratulations on your other admission and good luck to you!

I received the same email yesterday. From the email I wonder if they still haven't figured out their financial capability, as they said they are still trying to figure out how many people they can admit this year. Good luck to you!

V155 Q161 AW 3.5 I got rejection letter from Columbia and so far I am still waiting for my first offer letter! I guess my weakness is that I am not from a research background. My research interest is built upon my clinical experience and the systemic challenges were observed from years of practice. I was postive about applying for Ph.D. without much research experience. However as I am getting more rejections, I am starting to question myself.

Hey - Congratulations on the admission to Brandeis! I am also waitlisted at BC and presumably waitlisted at BU. So far I have no admission so I hope to hear something back soon!

Columbia will be giving out results within one week. I called NYU last week and was told they will give out results in late March.

Congratulations for those who have been admitted. I just got an email from Columbia that they will release decision letters within one week.

hey- what schools are you waiting on? If you don't mind me asking.

I called BU after seeing results posted at Gradcafe. The admission staff told me "my application has been reviewed and will continue to be reviewed", and refused to comment on what affect the differences on time frame. What does that mean? What should I do at this point? Anyone is going through the same thing?

Hi everyone - I'm happy to see this thread. I am also waiting on Columbia. They said results will be given out in March. I am wait listed by BC. Anyone have any idea how big their waitlist pool is? I also noticed the two BC interviews posted in results section were removed. If you are not going please let them know!!! Thanks. Hope we all hear good news sooooon!
