Anyone heard anything from Berkeley or UCSD?

CUNY is great, hope you are happy with this acceptance!

I only applied to one: university of Oregon. I had an interview last week but have not heard anything yet.
i applied to PhD programs a few years ago and am surprised the lack of participation on this site for our programs
Maybe younger people don't know about this website
fortunately for them...
-
Applied to one musicology-ish program, Integrative Studies at UCSD, and haven't heard anything yet. Not sure if they had interviews earlier and then it's a reject for sure or if they haven't done interviews.
-
Hi, still waiting to hear from all the places I applied to. Who did you have interviews with?
-
Had anyone successfully negotiated their offer? I have multiple offers but the place I want to accept also has the lowest funding offer. Should I just tell them this and ask if they can meet the offer I have from another place?
-
Out of curiosity - what would be your conclusion if you got into one Phd program but rejected from six? Almost everyone I know either got multiple offers or none at all. My application missed the mark for most of the programs but would you assume that this means the one university that accepted me saw the potential beyond what was lacking or that it's just not as rigorous as the other ones?

Is anyone else going to be making a big decision in the coming weeks? I'm finding myself stuck between all five programs that offered admission and funding (UNC Chapel Hill, UCLA, UCSD, Case, and CUNY Graduate Center). Those in a similar boat: how are you going about your decision? What factors are you weighing?
Do you not have a preference in terms of professors that you want to work with? There are three places that I was accepted to, I am excited about working with professors in two of them, but in one of the departments I think there is only one professor I will connect with, and in the other departments it feels like everyone would "get me" so to speak. The first place is a lot more prestigious, and the professor there is amazing, but I am leaning toward the second place because I think I will enjoy myself there more. Other than this, the second one is in a much bigger city, which I prefer.

Anyone here wants to claim the Princeton composition acceptance?

Depending on where it is, 23K is on the higher end, unless it is in a major city. I'm currently doing a MA and mine is waaaay less, that being said I live in very cheap student housing and use the school food pantry to survive without any extra loans. (Oh, and I don't have a car.) It's doable, but do make sure your health insurance is good and includes dental and eyes.
That sounds near impossible as a single parent with a young child. For some reason I thought that stipend for PhDs avarages in the mid 30k.

Hi everyone, I am a Composition DMA/PhD applicant. I was accepted to one program so far and I am wondering if anyone here received any acceptance offers and if 23K annual stipend considered average or low for this type of program? Do people usually take loans on top of the stipend? It seems like a really insufficient amount of money for candidates with dependents.

So far I've turned down offers from UPENN, Hunter, Washington University Sam Fox and UCLA. Just FYI for anyone on the waitlist.
May I ask why you turned down the offer from uPenn? A friend is thinking of accepting

ah i see...thanks. and they update the profiles with the msg all at the same time usually?

If I checked my Yale MFA application page for Sculpture and the status doesn't say 'interview' does that mean that it was already rejected just not updated?

Also waiting to hear from Integrative Studies @ UCSD, but I've had no interview or anything, I am sure this just means a rejection at this point. It's so late in the cycle.
