Has anybody actually gotten a call from Emory today?

For those with calls from Emory, were they Friday afternoon?

Hey thanks for responding. Do you know anything about the suburbs in between Boulder and Denver? If I end up in Boulder, in all likelihood my SO will be working in Denver.

How bad is the commute to/from Denver?

I imagine working with Sarah Binder is hard. I've been in DC for a few years and she is ALWAYS at think tank events. Also, DC is a terrible place to live, in my opinion, if you don't make good money.

congrats! what's your subfield?

Just sent you a message! it's about Davis

Has anybody else gotten a poor funding offer from anywhere they've been accepted? It's basically ruled out one of my two acceptances -- and the other I wont' receive funding info for til March.

That would make a bit more sense, but I see no such language unfortunately. The program is UC Davis.

Everything I've read says CA residency requires living there for a year.

I received a financial offer from a UC school that only covers the cost of instate tuition for the first year, meaning I would have to pay the difference until I can establish California residency. Is this really possible? I mean, how can people accept this? The remaining years seem pretty well funded, all things considered, but how do they expect people to live on less than $5k for a year?

same -- haven't received anything from them.

Chapel Hill is VERY diverse. Probably more diverse than Durham. You'll fit right in. North Carolina is one of those places where you're never far from "rural", but most everybody you meet, especially in the triangle area is very friendly and accepting. There are tons of kid things in the area, and you're close to Raleigh which has plenty more. I would never hesitate to bring a young family to the Chapel Hill area. Happy to answer more questions -- I spent 5 years in Chapel Hill and grew up in the Triangle.

Anybody else thinking about going to Davis? I'll be taking a visit out there in March

Did anybody get waitlisted at Duke? It seems that last year the waitlisted people were notified the same day as acceptances.

yep no Duke. it looks like based on last year if you're not in this initial wave you're SOL

Is it on the Duke SISS portal?

Somebody posted a Duke admit! It says they were sent to the website. My application status hasn't changed.

they have that separate application status website, where you enter this specific number that was emailed to you.

hmm somebody posted a rejection via website for Northwestern. mine still says "no decision". anybody else?

it seems there were more last year, so I'd be surprised, but i have absolutely nothing to back that up.

UNC is a great school. what's your subfield?

Have any Davis admits heard about funding?

Depends on the school. Colorado is paying most, but not all, but still enough for me to make it worth going. Davis is covering pretty much everything.

Texas decisions are on the portal
