Also, has anyone else been accepted to BU and declined their offer? I was trying to brainstorm a really polite rejection to them (since they aren't funding) and it turns out it was a very simple form to fill out. Kinda weird.
So at this point, my decision really comes down to how much funding I am going to be receiving. So far, both of the programs I am considering have been pretty silent about what they can offer me.
Is it okay to ask about funding? I feel almost childish when it comes to asking but it's really the deciding factor for me. A professor I met with at Penn State emailed me and asked if I had any questions/concerns? Is it okay to ask for an update?
ahh April 15th is coming up way too soon.
Has anyone heard back from UC - Santa Barbara at all? It was one of the first schools I applied to so I figured I'd hear back from them sooner than others.
My first notification was an acceptance. This relieved a lot of stress and I figured it would take the sting out of any rejection I got. Yet when I got my first two rejections today within a few hours of each other, it hurt like hell. Rejection is no fun, no matter what the circumstances.
Good luck to those who are still waiting on good news.
I have ten to go. I thought having an acceptance under my belt would take the sting out of the rejections. It's still pretty painful. It's going to be a fun next couple of months.
Anyone else get an acceptance/rejection from Indiana University - Bloomington? I'm not bragging but mine was the only one I've seen pop up on the results board so far.
Also, no magical Princeton phone call for me either.
