I haven't talked to anyone else accepted to American. Will you be at the visit day next week?
I think at this exact moment I am leaning towards American. As much as I would love to live in Vancouver and stay up there forever, I've always thought the American program was a better fit for me. Visiting DC may make this an easy choice, one way or another. Though I will probably wait until the last minute to make my decision.Unfortunately, I won't be at the visit but keep in touch and let me know what you decide to do!

I am deciding between American (full funding) and Simon Fraser (tiny funding).
My spouse and I have wanted to emigrate to Canada for years, but Simon Fraser does not fund well so it really falls on him to make enough money for us to live on, in one of the most expensive cities in North America (Vancouver BC).
I think American is a stronger fit, and the funding is great. I'm not sure I want to live in DC but its more affordable than Vancouver. So I'm basically struggling with the location and money part. And the fact that our long term goal is to live in Canada, so a Canadian PhD makes a lot more sense. And I love Vancouver.
I'm headed to DC next week for the American admitted students day, and I'm a little apprehensive. I want to fall in love with it and the DC area, but I'm also afraid I will fall in love with it and then not go to Canada. This is causing what feels like some kind of existential crisis and I'm so close to letting my friends decide via FB poll ?
I'm also waiting to hear from McGill, also in Canada, though I suspect I am waitlisted and I'm assuming not going to get in at this point. McGill would likely win because Montreal is super affordable and its an excellent school and the person I would be working with studies exactly what I want to study, although its a Sociology program so I suspect that's why I've been waitlisted. In any event...existential crisis.
Which of your schools are you thinking of? What is the driving factor in your decision?Wow, a lot to unpack. For me, I have wanted to move to the DC area and have a career there. I totally understand how you are feeling. But I would say that getting into school in Canada would be beneficial for you to be a Canadian citizen if that is what you want to do! So going there would make more sense. I am deciding between UMass and American. Both programs seem great but I am leaning towards American. It is in the DC area and super attractive to me. Plus, I like the curriculum.
Have you talked to anyone else accepted to American? Are they declining or accepting?

For me, I got into GA State (no funding), UMass Lowell (full funding), American (full funding), Temple (waitlist funding), Liberty (online), IUP (no word on funding yet) and denied at George Mason and UPenn.

Where were you accepted and what are you thinking?

Hey congrats! I got the email from them last night, and a call this morning too for the campus visit. This was only the second response I got from my applications so I was getting really antsy.
Yay!!!! Good for you! Is that your choice?

What programs do you know of?
A lot of programs have made decisions by now because the deadline to accept is April 15th. Some have not released decisions but most have.

I’m getting sick of waiting to hear back from these 6-7 programs...like it has been 3 months + & they said they would let me know by late feb.
I don't mean to bring bad news but some programs have already accepted people and have denied people without telling them.

I found out this morning, they emailed me a long email stating they have made all their final decisions and that I was unfortunately not admitted because of a strong applicant pool and blah blah blah. I had emailed them last week asking for an update though so maybe that's why I heard back this morning. You should hear back soon! And I got into the University of Iowa's Sociology Ph.D. and Northeastern's Master's program so I have two options but I'm most likely going to choose the University of Iowa because there is a professor there who I really want to work with and it's fully funded lol! I hope you hear back from Temple soon and I hope it is good news
Well, I am glad that you are going somewhere where you are interested!!!! BTW, who did you email?

Rejected from University of Toronto.
Still waiting on Berkeley (Jurisprudence and Social Policy), American (Justice, Law, & Criminology), and McGill (Sociology).
At the moment it looks like I will be headed to Simon Fraser and just hoping for some pittance of funding.
I just heard from American (Justice, Law, & Criminology). I got accepted with funding and travel support!

I DEFINITELY agree with that statement. Unfortunately, some programs just don't. I was sooo so upset when I first found this website because I saw the Temple acceptances but I've been still holding out hope and I think we all should too! Until we hear that we are rejected we should still hope!!
Well, let's see if we hear back mid-Feb because that is tomorrow.

Seeeeee! I think we should all stay hopeful! If you are on a waitlist it takes a while because people actually have to reject their offers for a spot to open up and most don't do that until almost the deadline.
You did not cause panic! Don't worry. I think that they should tell us if we on are on a waitlist or not.
