Hey there,

Got acceptance from University of South Florida, and I accepted the offer - POI RS if that helps.

Congrats! I still haven't heard anything. POI JC and applied for GA position to mentor a climate-related REU. Have a few offers, so not terribly worried (anymore). Can you say how you were notified? The USF portal is more confusing than others.

I think you only apply if you are in financial need. Deferring current student loans only requires proof you are currently enrolled.

Anybody waiting on Arizona State University and/or University of South Florida?

[Do grad school admissions ever override dept acceptances?]

If you receive an acceptance letter into a Ph.D. program (in this case, math), including funding details, from the department chair, is there any chance you will still be denied admission by the graduate school admissions committee? The line in the letter reads: "This offer is contingent on your being accepted for regular admission into the Graduate School."

Is that secondary acceptance just a formality, or do the grad schools sometimes override the particular dept/program to which you're applying?

Thank you for any and all insights!

I recently just experienced a similar situation. I was offered a position into a prospective PhD program, and was told the final decision from the graduate school would come shortly after. I was worried because my undergraduate GPA is lower than what the graduate school required, but sure enough I received a decision letter a few days later confirming that I was indeed accepted for admission!
