I PMed you

Weren't you accepted at CUNY?

Can anyone else believe that they are going to be doing their PhD? I have to keep pinching myself.

You need a native English speaker to look over your SOP. The language is awkward.

U Maryland sounds like a no brainer.

I have declined UW and UChicago. Hopefully that will help someone out.

Ahh, good to hear that it is a common anxiety.

PM!

I have declined UW.

I've formally submitted my enrolment at my selected university. Is it safe to decline my other offers. I've been petrified that my chosen university will turn around and say "Ah, just kidding! We rescind your offer!"

Has any one been contacted by a member of the department?

I ended up emailing and found out that I was rejected. I am absolutely NOT cut up by this given that out of 8 applications this was my only rejection. Yay! Application cycle is officially over me and so I am very grateful this reply.

Thanks D. That's nicely worded.

Waitlist for Columbia maybe?

Do you think it would be rude to email a department and say, can you confirm rejection?

Random, I was told there was 6 years full and secured funding.

I have a few questions for OP. 1. Have you been slighted by the department? 2. How many years into the program are you? 3. What is your purpose in delivering to us your 'pearls of wisdom.'

Have you been dismissed from the program?

Okay, I bite, OP: how do you feel about Emory?

Sounds like a loaded question.

I am unable to accept one offer until I receive a temporary SSN. I've initated that process to acquire one but at what point, can I ask where it is? I'm eager to accept. So say if they started the process on Friday, do you think three business days is ample time to wait? I'm really keen to the visa process started which I can't do until I accept the offer (which I can't do until I receive this temp SSN )

Hmmm, was it dated 26 Feb as in when the online status changed to review? I might be receiving something shortly. ETA: They are my only outstanding application so I want to move on!

Their methodology sounds a bit odd.

If thestage is gone, can you tell me if you were notified by email?

By email or post?
