Omg congratulations! I'm seriously so happy for you!! No email for my partner, so that doesn't bode well. However, he got into Michigan this morning and it's also a great fit so we're feeling very happy. We were hoping to get out of the Midwest and we loved the idea of NY (he's from a huge city outside the U.S., and I'm from the west coast), but I guess the universe has other plans ?

So for full transparency, I am the partner of the person waiting to hear back from CUNY. I'm actually ABD in Sociology at a different school (not in NYC). My partner had two interviews with folks at CUNY and got the email on Feb 5th about them having sent their intended list for approval by the Provost. My partner doesn't really check this site (much healthier than me!) but we're both very anxious about it. My partner is 0a/1w/4p. I got some inside scoop that CUNY Sociology had some surprise funding cuts and might be admitting an abnormally small cohort ? Last I heard they were trying to scramble more funding so they could admit a more normal sized cohort. I know my own program got more applicants than normal and sent offers to a smaller group than normal. I think this is pretty true across the board. A rough cycle. I'm curious--did everyone get the Feb 5th email? If my partner were to get in to CUNY we would both move to NYC. I'm also quite nervous about being a pair of grad students in NYC but we'll make it work somehow!

I am also waiting on both UPenn and USC. I assume we must be on some sort of unofficial waitlist since I've seen both acceptances and rejections reported.

Has anyone accepted at Wisconsin gotten specific funding information? The acceptance letter only had general funding info. Alice Justice said that they will provide specific packages once the cohort if finalized, but this makes me nervous. I am wondering whether anyone has been given specific information yet. Thanks! (You can PM me if you prefer.)

Same for me. I assume they will be sending specific funding packages later on.

For anyone still waiting to hear good news from Rutgers, I received an email this morning requesting an interview. I was certain that they wouldn't be doing anymore interviews (others had posted that all finalists had already been notified), but it appears they are.

I want to think it's an unofficial acceptance, but I'm not entirely sure either. I guess we'll just have to wait for further notification.

Re: Madison, did anybody who didn't get a rejection email click "enter" on the page where it says "pending"? Mine says the department has recommended me for admission and has passed my file to the Graduate School for review.

I know some people were asking about UCLA. I was one of the people admitted on January 8th. Feel free to message me if you have questions and/or want to connect (I'm new to the forum and just figuring out how this all works). I am also curious about the Berkeley admits, as it was among my top three schools and I am a little disappointed that I haven't heard anything.
