    UMBC's was the harshest I received. It was phrased something like "The program has recommended you not be accepted" as opposed to the standard "We are unable to offer..." type language, and I'll admit it a stung a bit.

    Congrats!

    I also did hand-written notes, but I have a small collection of nice/cool/fun blank notecards that I'm always looking forward to using. I also did a small gift for each. It felt very natural to do this, since I really was deeply grateful for the recommendations, most of which were somewhat non-traditional.

    Don't see any recent posts for this school so I'll go ahead and start a thread. Anyone else planning to attend in the Fall? Would love to have people to discuss the moving process with in particular

    DM'd!

    Hey thank you!!! I heard back from the last week after interviewing in January. I know interviews have been rolling and I have no idea if they're moving individually or in waves or what. I hadn't seen a peep anwhere prior to my decision. The notification came from the program, not from the POI, but not sure what that means for other applicants.

    Officially accepted the offer from UMiami (CWB). Would love to connect with anyone else planning to begin there in the Fall.

    One other grocery store to look at: Cermak Fresh Market, which has a couple locations in neighborhoods with good affordable housing options. Really awesome value for produce in particular. Between that and Aldi you'll be in great shape with a mix of easier to prepare options and good from-scratch meals. If you have access to a car, supplementing with a Costco membership for bulk staples (and decent cheap wine!) might also be worth looking into.

    I live in Chicago (moving soon for school!) and you can definitely, definitely feed yourself with groceries for less than 6/meal or 375 month. Not counting restaurants or delivery, etc, you could eat decently on even 250 or less, perhaps substantially so with a litle effort and depending on your tastes. In general, for a city its size, (and despite the high tax rates) Chicago's cost of living is super reasonable.

    I was at work getting coffee in the kitchen. I checked my email on my phone and saw the email with "Admission " in the title and "Congratulations!" in the previewed text. My knees buckled a bit and everyone looked at me and I went and hid at my desk and cried a little lol.
  11. yeahsouh
    Thank you!

    It was real! Got the official letter today.

    School: University of Miami Concentration: Community Well-Being Type: PhD Date of acceptance: 3/6/2019 Notified by: Email from Admissions Supervisor with POI (I.P.) + Committee CC'd This was my first choice - my POI's work was literally the reason I became interested in the field in first place. I'm beyond words.

    Got a portal acceptance from my top choice today but am having a lot of trouble believing it until I receive an email.
  15. yeahsouh
    Sorry for multiple posts but just checked the portal for my top choice and noticed that it has been switched from "Pending" to "Admitted" and I'm freaking out trying not to get too excited until it's email-official. For all I know somebody checked the wrong box in some system...!

    My landlord reached out to find out whether I wanted to renew my lease which expires at the end of next month. I informed him he is on my wait list.
  18. yeahsouh
    I'm also in the waitlisted-at-my-top-two-programs boat and I'm so exhausted and feel like I need to resign myself to anything and begin moving on, but I just can't peel myself entirely away.

    Yeah! I was told "very soon" 5 weeks ago. It's my very top choice and I thought it went really well, so this has been a rough wait. It's encouraging to hear form others who have interviewed and heard nothing. I know they're going through this process for the first time with a new Dean and PD, and they've also received a lot of money lately, so I wonder if they're just taking their time to get their ducks in a row. I don't think the counseling program, at the same school, has sent out acceptances either (though I've seen waitlists and rejections) so.. keep hope alive? Hope we all get in
  21. yeahsouh
    Likewise! Thanks!

    For one program, it's "top pool", for the other it's crickets...
  23. yeahsouh
    Yeah I still get spikes of like... losing 30 minutes mindlessly refreshing this site and checking portals, etc, a couple times a week. But there are also blissful stretches of hours at a time where I forget I even applied for anything, which feels pretty good. This is my theme song for this part of the process: (

    My top two programs have faculty who work together sometimes and I'm certain have substantial overlap in their applicant pools, and I'm waitlisted at one and convinced I'm waitlisted at the other. I'm telling myself that maybe they're accepting all the same people over me, and these people can't all go to two schools, so...
  25. yeahsouh
    I drove myself crazy for weeks, and I'm at the point now where I've convinced myself I'm waitlisted at best and just am acting as if I need to move on. If I do get an acceptance, it will feel like a wonderful surprise. It's... kinda working, kinda not?
