Daffy

Thanks for letting us know, and congrats CAda. I don't know about that program, though. Best wishes.

This happened to me at another school. My advisor told me to "accept" for the College but that the department knew I would not really come unless/until they came up with an attractive funding package and unless I did not accept an offer from another school. The advisor could not "hunt" for funding for me in the College until I "accepted" the offer of the College. So, I "accepted" the offer from the College but emailed my advisor and the department chair that my acceptance was provisional until a funding offer was made and until I received notification from other schools as I was doing a national search. The professors knew what was going on, and it is hoops jumping. Not all schools do this, so be careful not to offend people by appearing double-faced. I would suggest you see what your advisor recommends and be totally up front with her/him.

I received an offer of admission to the Language, Education, and Society (LES) PhD program at Ohio State and am waiting on information on funding. Any idea when official funding offers for Teaching and Learning (the LES home department) PhDs will go out? Also, I am trying to decide between OSU and other schools that have offered admission. Any tips?

I applied to SCS and haven't heard anything yet.

I applied but didn't get an invite, so it looks like I'm out. Sigh. Moving on.

Thanks for the heads up--I didn't even realize I had received a rejection email from Stanford for the SHIPS PhD until I read this list because the message had been sent to a folder of my email rather than my inbox. I gave Stanford my best shot and I am disappointed. Even so, I've received three offers to date for good state schools in different parts of the country and I'm grateful for some options and for the guidance of a closed door.

Applied to SHIPS PhD at Stanford and haven't heard back yet as of Friday 2/7/14
