Wanted to share: I was accepted into the three programs I had applied to and knew early on that my top choice was a good fit, developed a positive relationship with POI and faculty, and so on. Just received a message that the department is placing all doctoral admission for Fall 2020 term on hiatus, and that therefore they must withdraw all admissions offers. No info on deferment or when admissions would re-open for next cohort.
definitely bummed about it, but trying to place my disappointment in the greater context of what’s going on right now. I’m confident I could get back in if/when the next cycle begins, but just shows some of the uncertainty going on in some of these schools.
