I dont think so, I am an international student so I don't know whether I would be eligible. What is it about? Congrats on NYU! Are you going to steinhardt too?

I blame waitlist paranoia.. you constantly ask yourself if the way you said 'Hello' in the interview was too friendly or not enough

Got offered 26k including fees and insurance. Good enough for NYC?

Stanford!

Got offered 26k including fees and insurance. Good enough for NYC?

Here is an update on NYU: offer is 26k for year 1 and 2 and 30k for years 3 and 4 (however I will have to pay tuition fees in this year which I am not sure whats the amount for it, asked for clarification) possible TAs and RAs can bring in some extra Health insurance costs are included in the calculation

I am not from US so i think it will be already quite different on resume. Also im afraid that having to rely to external grants (industrial grants in particular) or part time job would take precious time away and make the phd much longer (thats what i hearf from current mcgill students)

Initially tending for the first one, I was forced to reconsider once I was presented with the funding offer. Reputation and Research topic is a tie. Its a matter of funding now I think McGill 10k for first and second year then all relies on external funding (grant applications + RA+ TA, cant do TA and RA on first year) NYU 23k for 4 years NYU is clearly a better offer. However cost of life is much higher too, so I dont actually know where would life be harder. Montreal means that I will have to find external funding and possibly a part-time job, so very unstable and unsure. My personality is definetely closer to montreal rather than ny (which it aint bad at all but i like quieter places).

i think its pretty easy to get to my identity, especially as i did the sync with facebook option. will be more cautious in the future

Is there any history of this? I feel that I acted too overconfident about one of my universities, claiming i was going to be accepted. After a while I got notified of being waitlisted and I cant' help but think that if they looked at my comments they would be like 'who does he think he is?? lets teach him a lesson!'

Nyu music tech, got waitlisted. goddamit !!! anyone dropping the offer?

I applied to McGill because of a specific supervisor and a specific field. I made that clear in my SoP. I had initially been told that everything was all right and I was accepted to be a phd student for him. Now I am being told that he has no space in his lab and that I can work with another professor but in a completely unrelated topic which is not what I want to be in. Is there anything I can do? Can I convince them to put me on the topic I wanted?

He is really a nice guy, and I cant find a way of doing this without looking like a dick
