How to turn down offers via emails to POIs
AnxiousBeaver replied to abay91's question in Questions and Answers
I'd open the email thanking them for the offer and recognizing the work and time they put into reviewing your app, and then move to briefly explaining that you were accepted into another school that is more aligned with your goals and scholarship! Im also in the exact same position as you but I've been informed that schools dont really hold things against applicants who choose a different school. I will probably also express interest in working with the faculty member in some capacity in the future (in my field pppl from different institutions frequently collaborate) because I am genuinely int -
Increased applications due to COVID (Humanities)?
AnxiousBeaver replied to ReneeGrad's topic in Waiting it Out
Yeah a PhD program at Stanford (social science) informed me that they received a record amount of applications this year than in previous, but it was expected because of the global state of the world right now. -
Will a withdrawal impact my acceptance?
AnxiousBeaver replied to Hannah.1998's question in Questions and Answers
I have a D on my transcript as well as an NC (no credit) which also means Fail when you take a course P/Fail.... and I got into almost every school that I applied to :). You'll be fine, just explain it on the application but don't be discouraged! -

I think that it is the fact that you are coming from an International institution that is making the review more difficult for you... which should not be the case and in all honesty sounds a bit discriminatory to me . Maybe I misunderstand but If the issue is with the number of years it took... Graduating early does not take away from the fact that you have a degree from a 4 year institution no?? I hope this works out for you -

Professors reaching out before official acceptance is given
AnxiousBeaver replied to Maddie7's topic in Decisions, Decisions
it might be an informal interview! I feel like that's a good sign, not every department interviews all applicants, sometimes they only select specific people to interview. make sure prepare questions to ask to seem super excited and interested about the program -
Do what is best for you (very hard to do sometimes)! You might regret not going for what you want... you are living your life for you not ur parents!!

Oh no!! I am so sorry! Did you email your POI? DIdn't he say that everything seems okay on his hand? Email them again, also see if you could have a better explanation of why your degree is considered a BS, have them point out the specific classes you need, etc.! -

it is very normal to receive a letter from your POI before the official acceptance! He is technically right, but while his message was blunt and seemed scary you were definitely accepted already so your celebration was justified :)! -
