This definitely varies by program. I am getting my Ph.D from TC and have a full scholarship and am funded for the next 4 years, so I suggest reaching out to the program specifically! I've also spoken to other students who have said that TC is trying to provide more funding for their doctoral students.

Yes, I agree. I've been accepted into a ph.d program with a 15% acceptance rate, whereas masters programs in the same program is much higher (closer to 50%) and that's true throughout the entire school. It would depend on your school, concentration and doctorate vs. masters!

Decided on TC! Got full funding for 4 years and #1 program in my subfield. Great faculty and lots of opportunities for research/teaching. Also, can't beat NYC

Has anyone admitted into a doctoral program been contacted by their advisor or faculty yet?

I also received my acceptance into a doc program and am so thrilled! Congratulations!! Now if only we had more info about aid!!

Hey! Has anyone else here been accepted into a doctoral program and know how TC uses tuition remission? How many credits it covers per semester? And how much we should expect to cover on our own? Thanks!!

Me too! It looks like we are both waiting to hear from Ph.D programs, so maybe those come later? Hoping these late responses don't mean a rejection

Oh man, I hope so! I don't think I could handle another weekend without a response! When I called the office re: the transcripts change on my application portal she just said that it means that the committee is looking at my application. Didn't know how to read that, but I hope it does mean what we're guessing!

Ahh I still don't have anything . This waiting is killing me! Congrats to all those who got their acceptance letter today!

Ah it changed from "awaiting"? I still haven't heard anything either!

Don't be discouraged! I don't think they're allowed to say anything regardless of the decision. Hoping we have a decision by the end of the week!

I received that, too! At an open house last fall they encouraged all applicants who want housing to apply prior to receiving their decision, tho. I also noticed some funky stuff was happening in my application portal. Instead of having green checks next to my transcripts I now have red x's with the word "awaiting" next to them. I called the office to make sure they weren't missing any information and the woman on the phone said that changes on the application portal means the committee is looking at my application and that a decision will be available soon. She said to keep an eye on my email (as if I'm doing anything else ).

Me too! Hoping we hear back by the end of the week

Yeah, I got that email too but they send it to everyone. I went to an open house in the fall and they explained that everyone who wants housing should apply before hearing back.

I see you got into some amazing schools!! Congrats! Going to be hard to choose I bet

I hope so! Was hoping for a decision this week. It's my last school to hear from (and my top choice, so figures).

Ah exciting! Does it say "awaiting" next to the transcripts?

Any chance our transcripts are "awaiting" bc we're accepted and will need to submit our official ones ?! One can only hope, right?!

Mine did the same thing! I didn't have any new applications open, but my transcripts went from a green check mark to a red X and now say "awaiting." I, too, called and they said that it means they're looking at the application and making decisions soon! She also said that IF I am accepted to be ready to send in official transcripts.

Tomorrow is March 1st! Official start of notifications month! Decisions any day now. Good luck to everyone

Congrats!! So excited for you When you logged onto your application portal, did the status change from submitted to accepted? Or did you have to click on your application.

I don't! I'm sorry! I also don't know how they use the interviews (to determine admission, funding, weed out applicants, etc) but I wish I did! You could try calling the admissions office and ask them. I've seen others on this site do that.

Not all programs within TC have interviews!

They emailed me about 3 weeks ago about setting up an interview, which I'm having today! However, don't feel discouraged as I don't think every program interviews.

Hey! Did you ever find out what they wanted when they called you? Wondering if decisions are already beginning to go out (and if they call versus email).
