Email Dr. Chambers. She's cool but scatterbrained. The professors/admission committee I talked to said they let everyone know either way. Your application might be an oversight. I'd definitely reach out though
UCI had their unofficial grad mixer tonight. Tomorrow is their official prospectives' day.
Got my unofficial acceptance on January 25. Official offer came on 2/5
Subfield: American/theory.
UCI - Accepted
UCR - Accepted
Rutgers, UIC, and UNC - pending
UMich, Cornell, UW (Seattle), UVA and UC Berkeley - Rejected (with my GRE quantitative I am not surprised).
I'm curious what have you all been doing before applying. What's your background/work history like?
I have a BA in Phil, MA in Comm and a work history of mostly unrelated nonsense to pay the bills.
Any PhD students at Irvine / recently accepted? Do you think living on or near campus is integral to your success? I have two very large German Shepherds which are non-negotiable aspects of my life. It's not really a big problem as I'm a So Cal native and live roughly 40 miles away. Just wondering if I'll be missing out on important aspects if I accept UCI's offer.
