UCLA vs NYU for Urban Planning
GMK replied to borrowedrococo's topic in Architecture and Planning Forum
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!

Planning Admissions 2022

Has anyone applied to and heard back from Ohio State? PhD program, specifically. -
Which top ranked Design and Planning schools offer full rides
GMK replied to Emma3's topic in Architecture and Planning Forum
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.

Planning Admissions 2021: Discussion Thread
GMK replied to yellowsurf's topic in Architecture and Planning Forum
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."
-
@aleman, my apples are also all in one basket: the PhD program at Ohio State (since I cannot move from Columbus at this point in my life) and my application still shows as "pending." I understand your angst. For me, I think it means a waitlist status, as I applied later in the application season and I know that they had very early, strong candidates. My hope is that with other programs finishing up their decisions that candidates will start notifying schools of their final choices soon.

Thank you! Good luck with your decisions!
-
Did you apply for a PhD or Master?
-
My portal still shows pending! Ugh!
-
@educationtoplanningI think we are the only ones who have posted thus far who have applied to Ohio State. They are taking their time with decisions this year!

I would speak to the university. At the university where I have applied, PhD candidates are not allowed to work outside of the university. As for tenure-track university professorships, I have read that only 3-5% of people who hold a doctoral degree are able to land tenured university professorships. Thus, I'm not sure that I would base your PhD journey decisions on tenured professorship.

Planning Admissions 2021: Discussion Thread

Do most people wait until April 15 to commit? (My application is still pending, but I'm trying to figure out the latest timeframe that my school might release decisions.) -
Planning Admissions 2021: Discussion Thread
GMK replied to yellowsurf's topic in Architecture and Planning Forum
Thank you for your insight. I did actually contact my PI this morning before you posted. I wanted to know if results might be posted by the end of the month, as it is time to re-enroll in benefits with my husband’s employer and the admission decision will determine some of our benefit decisions. He didn’t answer me in the email but did ask to set up a zoom meeting with me for tomorrow. Hopefully I didn’t bother him with my question! I wish I had known your information and insight before asking him. ? -
Planning Admissions 2021: Discussion Thread
GMK replied to yellowsurf's topic in Architecture and Planning Forum
I emailed my PI today to ask if decisions would be posted by the end of the month; it is time to re-enroll in benefits with my husband’s employer and our decisions will be slightly different depending on if I will be attending in the fall. He replied right away and didn’t answer the question but did ask for a zoom meeting tomorrow. I guess I’ll have some further guidance soon.
