That's odd you haven't heard back. Mine was pretty open with info after I emailed them, but who knows. I'm not sure what school you are holding onto now, but definitely try again to contact your first choice.
Still haven't heard anything back either haha. I got a late PhD offer that I can hold onto for a bit longer, but am still waiting out Wake. I saw on the results page that somebody had been wait-listed then declined, but not much else!
Hey everybody,
So I thought I wasn't going to be accepted to any programs as all my schools had sent out invites and I decided to email a couple profs who I spoke to and ask for advice on applying next cycle. Well out of the blue one of them emailed me today asking me if I could talk about the program and if I had accepted a school yet (hinting heavily at a possible invite). I hadn't but in the meantime I had been applying to a lot of RA positions and have had interviews at 2 top ten schools.
My question is if I am offered a spot as a PhD student should I take it at an average school or should I wait to hear from the RA positions at very impressive schools and apply again once I have those names on my resume? Or would that even make a difference?
Thanks!
Yeah UW is definitely one of my longshot programs as well, but getting to go to grad school at such an amazing program in a beautiful city would be unbelievable.
I'd say it's relatively bike friendly! If you live within 2 miles or so of campus I wouldn't see any issue using it to get to campus. Public transportation is also great here and it's free with your UGA id.
