I know it’s such a stressful process, my inbox is open for anyone if they need to vent or need support. Here for all of you! Best of luck! ?

Thank you! ISAW was the top school for me by far, so I’m over the moon. UBC and Hopkins are the others. That’s all!

I don’t know for sure about when they are rolling out the other spot for ISAW, but I do know that they have closed interviews! I accepted the official offer already (got it a few days after the unofficial), but I’m not sure if they’re rolling out the others later. I hope that helps!

Oh wow, got a nice list there. It’s such a tough year but my fingers are crossed for you!

What’s left for you? I know ISAW requires an interview, and their window for interviews was last week and then this week until Thursday. I hope you hear back soon!

No prob! ISAW is spectacular. I’m shocked honestly, but I’ve worked so so hard for that program. It pays off! I’m so excited to see what the future as in store for all of you!!

Sure! I will be withdrawing from UBC’s CNERS department.

I got into ISAW!!! Going to withdraw my application from the third and final program that I applied to! I am over the moon!!!

ISAW, and thank you!

Heard back from JHU, but not officially. And got an interview for NYU

Something like that!

Most schools aren’t openly advertising how many spots they are taking this year (or in general). Congrats on the interview! Which sub-field are you applying for? Best of luck!

Thank you! Heard from someone there. Most schools are taking less than usual, including NYU in most programs in the history/humanities. Did you get an interview?

100%. There's the usual application process, which is stressful. But this year, there is a whole other circumstantial issue. When I heard from JHU, they told me that my app was strong, but there was simply no funding for someone in my area. They took 5 last year, so I assume they are also accommodating for having such a strong cycle last year. Most programs are giving funding that would go to new students to the 3/4th years who are now guaranteed an extra year of funding after being screwed by Covid with research/libs being shut down

I feel ya. It's tough with some schools closing apps entirely, but most American schools are also going to prioritize American students (so intl's are extra struggling). I didn't apply to UT/UC system schools because I was told that they wouldn't be considering intl's as public system schools
