Here we go: GRE Q151/V151 AWA 4.0 Undergraduate GPA 2.6/4.0 4 years in the service industry in a leadership/supervisory position 2 years in Peace Corps Accepted: Brandeis, DU, SIS Waitlisted: UCSD Denied: GSPIA, SAIS, Elliott, GT SSP I knew I wasn't going to get in to a lot of the schools (esp. SAIS & SSP), but I wanted to try for it anyways. I had really strong recommendation letters from a well-known research professor and Peace Corps country director. I think for me, waiting a while to apply to school and having the experience in between contributed to my acceptances. Don't know how I managed 3 acceptances, but I'm really honored that the schools are giving me a chance. I definitely think the schools accept you for something that they think you could offer, and I'm pretty sure my SOP, PC experience, and LORs are what got me into school.

Still waiting as well

Is anyone still waiting on an email or notification?

Also accepted. Has anyone received information on graduate assistantships?

UCR alum here. Beg to differ, living on campus is actually more expensive from what I remember. They charge you way too much money for too small a space, even though it's convenient. Apartments are maybe a block from the edge of campus, and some come furnished. You're better off living in apartments near the university and finding furniture on craigslist. If you have a car (UCR tends to be a commuter school), you can find housing in Moreno Valley off Day Street (apartments) or find shared housing for way cheaper.
