Yes. The only test centre is in Canterbury,oddly. There are one or two dates a year ( I don't know if that is normal elsewhere).

anybody else invited to BU visiting day without having heard *anything* from them re application status?Had assumed rejection at this stage so am confused...

Thanks so much for this- have pm'd you!

mikers, sorry if I've missed this and you've previously posted about this, but when did BU say they'd make decisions? Also waiting on them and Brandeis, so in similar situ.

Thanks for the response! Well I did want to know about rent- whats the going rate in the Bronx for a room/small crappy studio? Thats really useful to know that people do commute in. I am wondering how far the stipend will really go.... My impression so far of Faculty has been great, so glad to hear you've had a good experience. What are staff/student ratios like? Also, what have you gathered about completion time for the PhD? Have you come across people working (funded?) beyond the five years? I know this is pretty common elsewhere. Thanks!

Hi! Unless there is a late surprise turn of events/change of heart, it looks like I'll be heading to Fordham in the Fall. Saw a few other acceptances on the board, so would love to hear from others who got offers and are thinking of attending. And anyone currently at Fordham or from the area- would love your input! Thanks, and for those still waiting to hear and make decisions- good luck!

Tell me about it shortstack. Hope we both hear (good news!) in next couple of days. There are definitely more offers to come.

Congratulations!They're my top choice, so really hope I hear back from them soon so that I know one way or the other. Do you mind if I ask if your email was from POI?

anyone claiming the CUNY acceptance just posted? Seems personal emails are order of the day, which might mean acceptances are over a few days (says hopefully...)
