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.

From my correspondence with Penn State, I expect the first wave of admission results next week, last week of January.

Congrats to admits! How did you learn your acceptance UC Boulder admits? Emails from professors or department? Thanks.

Hearty congrats! Could you please details of your profile? I mean, of course, if you want to. Thanks.

Anybody knows how to stop visiting the Gradcafe? I should stop this because some of the schools won't release their results until mid-March. It's simply unsustainable....

Congrats to FSU admit! Anybody claiming it? Please share info with us.

Do you guys think that one should stop applying for a PhD if it does not work two times in a row? Sorry guys I am anxious, so i am asking all these questions to have a clear idea about what to do next.

So I don't want to be pessimistic but what kind of back-up plans do you guys have if PhD applications don't come through?

Same here. Personally, I am not really hopeful but would be interesting to see who got in and with what credentials. Of course, I am happy for those who got in(will get in).

Congrats to Duke admit. Anybody from here?

No, I didn't use any weird undertones. I think he didn't find it scientific enough.
