The Mountain Goat

Hey! Yeah, I did apply for EMMIR. Did you apply with the late December deadline? I'm also not an EU resident so perhaps they're dealing with them in different time frames.

Hello everyone, I just found this post. I applied to EMMIR and the Erasmus Mundus scholarship. For now, I'm on the reserve list too. Has anyone tried asking how many people were above them or try to get any stats? Seems like we'll likely have to wait a few more weeks... to me the past 2 weeks have felt longer than the past 5 months!

My portal for UIC just got updated I think two days ago! For months my status was something like "under departmental review" and they didn't even respond to an email I sent around two weeks ago. So as odd as your situation might be, it's not the only one! Hope you hear back soon.

I am on the same boat. My PI made an offer to another person months ago and put me on wait-list in mid-February; I check my email all the time waiting for an update! It's becoming increasingly more stressful for me as we get closer.

I don't think there is any easy way out of this, but honestly your decision at least to me is understandable. If I was in a similar situation, I'd just get straight to it and say something in the lines of: "I am am extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity and I had all the intention to attend; however unforeseeable and new circumstances have made it difficult for me to join (Inset name of school) and I regret to inform you that under these circumstances I have had to make the difficult decision of not attending your program. Thank you very much for your consideration and understanding. Sincerely, -The Mountain Goat" Good luck!

The results are out! I didn't get it this year Good luck!!

UC Santa Cruz results are out. Received another rejection! I'm a bit sad because it would have been a really good fit... I don't really feel comfortable sharing it with anyone around me. Do you guys find it helpful to discuss rejections with people? Anyways, still have four more universities left ...

I am on the same boat with Princeton! Good luck with Cornell.

You guys still alive? Anyone heard anything today? People are hearing back from other departments, but the Psychology people seem to be extra quiet today!

That's awesome, congratulations mate! I'm still waiting to hear back from UChicago!

I have a friend who went there, so I spend a couple days on their campus, it's awesome. I applied to the Psychology department, I know some people have already had interviews in January, so I'm not getting my hopes high, but it'd be a really good fit for me. Good luck and keep us updated!

They have already informed some people? Do you know which department? They are one of my op choices and tired of refreshing my portal all the time!

I just got an email from them. Your decision might be available at: https://you.usc.edu/login/ I got rejected! Good luck

I applied to the social psychology department at USC, haven't heard anything yet! I can't find anywhere on the application website that displays the status. I am considering emailing them soon.

Hey, This is my first post here! I am mostly interested in Political Psychology. I have applied to 10 Universities, but have only heard back from three. Does this sound normal by this point in February?
