All of these universities are well-known. One of the main things that you should consider is the cost of living in each city. University of Michigan will be the most affordable cost of living and is an excellent university. UCLA and NYU will have similar cost of living (expensive!), but very different weather and cultures from each other. UIC will also be an expensive cost of living, but not as high as UCLA and NYU.

This is a no-brainer! Follow the money!

The MIT admission was for a PhD, so it is likely that the Masters admissions are still pending.

While pursuing the decisions feed, I always notice waitlisted people asking admitted students to decline offers if they have a different one that they plan to accept. I have to assume these pleas are not particularly effective, but it did make me wonder about how people normally handle when they reply to offers of admission. Do most decline a lessor offer once they have at least one better offer? Wait for all offers? Wait for the April 15 deadline?

eY I'm a PhD applicant. Yes, this forum is much slower than prior years. I am certain there will be a lot of admissions within the next 30 days.

I am applying for a PhD. I can only apply to Ohio State University because my husband is established in his career and moving would be very difficult. I have been in regular contact with a professor, and apparently I am #1 on the wait list. Only 4 PhD students are accepted per year, and all are fully funded. I'm hoping someone chooses the prestige of another program acceptance over OSU's generous funding...

Wow! I noticed pages and pages of discussion in last year's admissions cycle and almost nothing this year. Have folks moved this sort of discussion elsewhere?

Here is the place for us to discuss the Planning 2023 admissions season!

Has anyone applied to and heard back from Ohio State? PhD program, specifically.

Ohio State offers full funding for all of their Planning PhD students. They are not “top ranked” in Planning, however.

My application is still pending for the PhD program at Ohio State. I emailed the graduate coordinator for the program and he said it is not a denial and still in review. Aargh.

I agree that the CA high school will very likely allow for in-state tuition for your continuing studies.

I know several are still waiting for decisions on master's programs. Is anyone still waiting for PhD decisions? My application is still "pending."
