I've gotten one acceptance at a good school in my field but I'm not sure I want to go because the location/weather is less than ideal and its not a place with many job prospects for my SO. I'm currently on a wait-list for another school in a perfect location for my SO and I. The wait is killing me and I don't know if I'm giving up on a opportunity that could potentially be great for my career. Should I go job hunting and reapply next year or stick it out at a good school where I may not be happy?

Thanks for letting me know! im starting to lose hope....
Don't lose hope! My friend who applied for the 2017 cycle got accepted into some really great schools such as MIT and oxford but didn't hear back until Mid January - March. We got this!

I'm completely in the same boat, I dont have the money to pay for anything haha. I think I may have screwed up, I ended up declining the interview at BU bc I assumed tuition needed to be paid by students the first year...but I probably should've just asked them directly to confirm ?lesson learned to not be afraid to ask questions, I guess. That sounds like a very good approach to ask them at the interview!
On their website under Admission > General applicant information it says:
Financial Aid
Funds are available for the full support of graduate training for Ph.D. students. Students are supported with annual stipends of $32,250, as well as full tuition remission and health insurance. Stipend support is made possible by funds from federally funded research grants and fellowships, the NIGMS Training Grant in Biomolecular Pharmacology, and support from the pharmaceutical industry. Financial aid is also available for students who are members of minority groups through NIH grant supplements.

Hey thank you so much!
aw no, don't get nervous! I think I read somewhere on their program website that their invitations to interview are done on a rolling basis...if you submitting your app close to their deadline, i think it's very possible they may still offer an interview
Thank you for the encouragement! I actually submitted mine Nov 30th so it wasn't too close to their deadline. I really hope they send out more
In case anyone wanted to know, Minnesota Pharmacology sent out invitations on Dec 10th but from previous years I think they will continue sending them out! -
Hey all! Congratulations on your interviews! I was wondering if anyone knew when Boston university would stop sending invitations to interviews? I haven’t heard from them yet and am getting nervous

I've just rejected a offer today in favor of a school that wait-listed me. Do you think it's worth emailing them that? Could that have an effect on my application?
