Hi All and Congrats! UCSD HDH (grad housing) has decided to raise rent 40-80% for new residents starting July 1st, 2021. They are raising rent by only 3% for current residents. This will make some units cost over 100% of the monthly stipend. Please join the petition to freeze the rent! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfK6wvIEo7krQZ5OIr_FSa6poAOufn8Se6TMUr-yyC7G-amzw/viewform

I also recently accepted an offer. Here's my non-clinical program prep: 1. get onto grad housing waitlist 2. audit 1 more course at the institution I work at (filling a math/modeling knowledge gap) 3. plan a decent vacation for August (program starts September) 4. still in progress: figure out when my current PI/boss will let me leave lol (covid made hiring a replacement complicated)

Where did you see cognitive interviews reported?

I've heard from NYU C&P for open house. Did not apply to your other schools.

I only learned of this website through chatting with a current grad student. So maybe with remote learning and less social interactions, fewer new people are joining because they don't know it exists?

I have the same issue. My interview days overlap, but I was able to request that specific times don't. So if one school schedules an interview for 8am, then you can tell the other school, I have availability after 9am for example. I guess it depends on the program, but they really are more flexible than you think, especially with the virtual interviews this year.
