Has anyone heard anything from University of South Carolina? Only place I'm still to hear from and it's radio silence at the moment.

Thanks Frank! Do you mind if I ask your area of specialisation?

I got waitlisted by UNC-CH this afternoon. Does anyone on the forum have any insight as to the likelihood of admitance? My gut feeling is that few people are likely to reject UNC making chances of spots freeing up slim. If any of the admits have decided against attending then please let them know!

Hi all! I have heard back from eight schools, gotten into four and rejected from four (which worked out, they weren't great fits). I am still waiting to hear from four more, but am trying to figure out how to approach the decision process.
I study South Asian women's history, and was accepted to Emory, UVA, U-Michigan (Joint Women's Studies - History) and Princeton with full funding. Of the ones I am waiting to hear back from, I am only really concerned with Cornell and NYU (the others aren't a great fit). Does anyone have here have any knowledge or information about these programs, or had to make a decision between them? Any thoughts?
I am aware of the different factors involved in making the decision (funding, location, fit with faculty, cohort, placement, versatility, diverse mentorship, etc.) but would love to crowdsource some information. I was also wondering whether it is acceptable practice to take an offer I have at a certain school and ask another school to match it? If it is, who would I reach out to in the department to talk about that?
Lots of questions, lots of decisions, but feeling greatful because these are good problems to have. Thanks for your help in advance!
Congrats on the acceptances! Can I ask how you were informed by Emory?

I'm considering South Carolina for this fall. All the info in this thread is super helpful. How possible is it to live off of a stipend of around $16k in Columbia? Everything I've read says it's a fairly cheap city.
Also, at what point is it usual to start looking into accommodation for an August move in?
