Anyone accepted to U of T contemplating whether or not to accept?

Is it possible to live on 15k in Toronto as a PhD student? Toronto PhD students could you please private message me? Thanks.

Can anybody doing a PhD in Toronto private message me? Thanks.

Any ideas on when U of T will release results?

Shall we presume rejection from Penn State if we haven't heard anything yet? Also, any ideas on when Northwestern might notify applicants? Thanks.

Prof. Bear thanks for your fascinating insights on the admissions process. I just have a quick question. If a student with two masters degrees and good background cannot get into a PhD program after three cycles, do you think this student should stop applying to PhD program and pursue a career in a field other than research? Thanks in advance.

Good luck with Brandeis. Don't wanna say anything bad but be prepared to teach from the first semester. They accept only 3-4 people each year and expect their students to teach. Also, the relative size of the department causes some problems like funding although students usually get fellowships at Harvard thanks to close relations between Brandeis and Harvard faculty. Anyways, I should not rant a lot Good luck!

I claim the UC Boulder rejection. This was expected after a long wait. Congrats to those who got in.

That's a good idea. Is there such a software?

I had this problem in both contexts. I kinda feel they don't give a shit when they don't answer. Also, I develop second thoughts when potential POIs don't answer. I understand they're busy but shall I wait 10 days to receive an answer as Chris Blatmann suggests?

What do you guys feel about faculty who do not respond to emails at all? What is the best approach to make them respond?

Duke applicants, how did you learn about your application status? Could you please share the website's link? Thanks

Sounds like a well-deserved acceptance! Congrats!

Thanks. Do you have an idea about how many people were admitted in the first round? I will start to assume I am rejected if I don't hear anything in two days.

To UC Boulder admits, were you guys interviewed prior to acceptance? Thanks.
