Thanks...very excited about it This is an excellent school...Carolyn Ellis is amazing

Congrats on the good news everyone ! I've withdrawn my other apps and committed to UMich.

Irie_anthro I'm an international student set on moving to A2 in August also. These links should get you started: http://www.quora.com/Ann-Arbor-MI http://www.damnarbor.com/ and the off campus housing link: https://offcampushousing.umich.edu/property/rental PM me if you want to speak more specifically about anything. PS: from your screen name are you West Indian?

Once you don't qualify with the Visa waiver program, its going to be the B1 for business/pleasure. Use the letter you got from the school inviting you as the basis of your application and the department info as destination etc. Just got mine, missing the welcome weekend but going soon after. Hope this helps.

Congrats!! If it's any succour, see above. All we need is one

It was after business hours on a Friday. I'd just had a stupid argument with the SO and came to refresh the Gradcafe and my inbox and there it was. The subject line was perfunctory but attached was the best news possible...took me hours to tell the girlfriend, we were still not speaking...

PM me if you want more info...Leicester DMC is my home department

Congrats...that's really HUGE!

OP This is a wonderful program: http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/media/dl and NO GRE!

Read this, think it is quite helpful: http://psychology.unl.edu/psichi/Graduate_School_Application_Kisses_of_Death.pdf

Congrats...well done!

defective thinking

This. Got departmental letter but nothing from the grad school. Waited 10 days then called the Grad school. Will be getting the formal notice from them this week. Needed to be certain so that I can formally withdraw my other apps.

I'm 46. This is my 2nd time around and I got accepted (full funding) to one of the best ( read most competitive) programs in my field. And btw, to further complicate it all i'm international without a US degree... In my experience, age is NOT the most important number for adcomms -

Welcome. Have you checked the results page? Click results search, type program name and see what comes up. It will at least give you a historical indicator when those decisions will be made.

1. Fit 2. Fit 3. Fit 4. The interdisciplinary nature of the program 5. The support for professional development 6. I've been made to feel welcome since my very first interaction with the Department 7. Reputation 8. Location 9. Financial support and external funding opportunities

I'll be the old guy in the corner...

Congrats on the Michigan acceptance...will you be going to the Welcome weekend?

Fingers crossed then...best of luck

Hope you get the news you want to hear sarab...is it your first choice?

This was my second time to the dance. Last year I managed one admit but with no funding (rolling admits, late application = $0) out of four apps. I deferred that and this season applied to 2 schools, one in Communication Studies and one in Sociology (my research is very multi disciplinary). Got accepted to my program of choice, will be attending and will be withdrawing my interest from the other schools.

Just getting this started for all bound to A2 in the Fall. It was my top pick and the first to notify, so my choice was easy... I'll be doing PhD Communication Studies Anyone else decided yet?

Ditto Mr Bugle...but particular favorites are natural history and engineering.

Congrats Violet!

Congrats fandom!
