Hi mathmathmathery, Congratulations on your acceptance to UCR and fellowship! I'm not sure about your department, but I received the Distinguished Chancellor's Fellowship from the psychology department at UCR. Compared to the Dean's Fellowship the Chancellor's offers a slightly higher salary the first year. According to my package I do not have to teach the first year but am required to TA/GSR for the remaining four years after that to earn my salary. The package includes health insurance. PM me if you would like to know further details.

Learning, Culture, and Technology Studies. As you're in a different department with a different POI you may have a different experience. I would contact your POI to inquire about any grants he/she expects to receive or has already, from what I've heard this might make a difference. Offers without funding are ridiculous, after all you will be working for them!

I applied to UCSB too for the Phd in education but during a casual interview with my POI in January he basically told me there is very little if any funding for the program and that if I receive a funded offer from another program I should take it. A little disappointing because it is such a beautiful location to pursue graduate study. Might be different for other applicants, best of luck!

Congratulations on your fantastic acceptances nicolemae! I saw on your profile that you have been accepted to UC Irvine in addition to Stanford and UCLA. Will you be attending Irvine's admitted students weekend next week? I am on the waitlist at Irvine and want to get a feel for who is likely to reject their offer and when. Thanks!
