Declining Offers/Withdrawing Applications Thread
gradhopeful96 replied to hector549's topic in Philosophy
Declined off-the-waitlist offer from JHU (on Thursday) -
Waitlisted at JHU! Got an email early this morning.
-
same ? lol at least we don't have to live in the city in a studio apartment for $5000/month
-
yeah same! I applied to 8, I have one acceptance, 1 official rejection, 1 presumed rejection, and 5 seem to not have come out with anything yet, but I fear they will be rejections
-
thanks. RIP
-
does anyone know if uChicago theory decisions have gone out? saw acceptances on the results page for all areas except theory. at this point, i'm assuming rejection, but there's still that little flame of hope...
-
congrats!!!!
-
Did you apply to them? Do you think there are any schools that are safe? If so, what are yours? basically, I’m bored, anxious and curious
-
same! Haha I was just wondering to see if you were another fellowship or if other acceptances have gone out lol since I didn’t see your acceptance on the results page. And yes, I will be! I’m excited! What about you?
-
Awesome! Congrats! And yes, same I’m excited as well! When did you receive the notification? Were you nominated for a fellowship?
-
Northwestern rejection today - expected after no word when acceptances and waitlists went out, but still sad hahaha
-
yeah I applied to 8 phds and I’ve been questioning whether I should have sprinkled in some masters/applied to more programs
-
lol I had that freak out today ? how many schools did you apply to?
-
haha same!! First cycle and I just really really don’t want to do another
-
yep, same! Probably better to assume a silent rejection than wait on an acceptance but idk
-
according to last year's results, berkeley sent our acceptances over two consecutive days, so there's possibly hope??? i don't know, i'm feel pretty down about it though rn not gonna lie
-
congratulations!!!!
-
hopefully
-
how do you check your Berkeley account? Is it just where we submitted the application?
-
This might sound like a dumb question, but what’s the difference between a 9 month and a 12 month stipend? I mean I know that that is the number of months the stipend is disbursed over but is one better than the other? Do they each have pros and cons?
-
yikes! but thanks for the tip. yeah, i definitely want to make sure i know exactly what is covered and what isn't, and what i have to do, etc.
-
@Duns Eith thank you! This is helpful. So I take it 5 years of funding guaranteed is pretty standard?
-
so i'm definitely new to the whole grad school thing (applying straight from a BA) and i was just wondering if anyone had any helpful tips or resources for figuring out/assessing a funding package?

Gender/Feminist Studies (Fall 2019)
gradhopeful96 replied to lkaitlyn's topic in Interdisciplinary Studies
yeah it's a little weird. the post also says the interview invite went out on the 18th, so it just makes me nervous haha. from past years, it looks like interview invites went out anywhere from the end of january to the end of february, so there's not a lot to tell from there...
