Hi All,
Acdelco: Thanks for sharing information about the various programs you contacted. Since I haven’t heard from Hopkins HBS, I guess I also wasn’t accepted. However, since no one has posted acceptances on the Results Page, I want to remain hopeful!! If someone was accepted who is reading these posts – please speak up!
As far as funding expectations, I need tuition support and stipend to help pay for childcare for my two young children. I view my decision about doctoral programs as a two step process: 1) where will I get accepted; and 2) who will give me the most funding. I struggled with whether to apply only to programs that fully fund all of their students or instead prioritize programs that seemed to be the best fit for my interests. In the end, I focused primarily on the best fit and hoped the rest will follow. So, it’s rather bittersweet that at this point I have been accepted into the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department at Harvard but no word on any funding (except offering me unsubsidized loans!). So close yet so far……
