Hello, everyone! I hope you're all doing well!
I accepted an offer of admission today, so I wanted to update everyone.
This cycle, I applied to 9 PhD programs. I received 5 interviews (U of Cincinnati, Illinois State, U of Maryland, Georgia State, and U of Florida). All of the programs I interviewed with were amazing and so welcoming. Ultimately, I was rejected from Maryland, waitlisted at Florida, and haven't received a decision from Georgia, but withdrew my application.
I received two admission offers, one from The University of Cincinnati, and one from Illinois State University. I just rejected my admission offer from Illinois, so hopefully that will help someone on the waitlist! I officially accepted my offer at UC yesterday as it is my top choice. It's a great program, fully funded, and close to where my boyfriend will be attending medical school, so I feel extremely fortunate. If anyone here has also accepted at UC, please feel free to reach out to me!
I hope everyone here finds their place, as well, and I wish everyone the best of luck! I'm rooting for all of you
