[2018-2019 Application Thread]

Lets not get into a tiff whether or not someone should withdrawal applications or not as it is an individuals decision alone.  I will most likely withdrawal mine from some 40-60s programs I applied to, but will definitely wait out Minny, Davis, Texas, and Vandy as they are all top 25 with some scholars in pol. psych I would love to work under (Luskin at Texas). 

 

Also, I think it was safe to assume I'm a male as I stupidly have a pic with my profile (why do I still have fb anyways?)

 

This is a great community and I am so glad my mentor recommended it to me.  You guys are great and I can't wait to see how everyone else fairs!

Congratulations- did you get the offer after an interview? 

No interview was necessary.  I received a long, personalized email from a member in the department congratulating me with a few mentions from details of my packet.  They did offer to set-up a phone call to chat further but did not make it seem like my acceptance was contingent upon it.

Congratulations - wonderful news! You've gotten into a world-class department and I'm sure you have a bright future ahead of you. But I urge you to withdraw your applications from the remaining schools, see the posted link for some inspiration. There are a lot of waitlisted folks out there (and folks who will be waitlisted) who feel exactly the way you did after being rejected from Arizona. I applied as a theorist so none of this applies to me. Now go celebrate your amazing UNC acceptance!!!

 

 

 

Thanks for the info and I will definitely do this later today ?

Woke up to an acceptance email from UNC this morning and am still in complete shock.  I applied just because, and honestly never expected to get in, especially after being rejected from Arizona two weeks ago on what I imagine was the first round of cuts.  Still waiting on Texas, Vandy, UC Davis, and Minnesota but I don't think I can pass up UNC.

I'll be American with a focus on behavior/psychology.
