I was there for undergrad, not there anymore. But hang in there! Until there's a no, there's always a chance.

It's my alma mater! Go Orange! Let me know if you end up going and need pointers on how to survive the winters!

Because it would make too much sense to let everyone know so they can make their decisions. ???

Congratulations @squirtle!! 1AM is still wild to me though, haha! @THenri no email here, you?

Hahahhahah, I saw that too this morning! First thought was to jump on here to see if anyone posted.

Yeah, they're killing me!

YAYYYYY CONGRATS!!!

I'm interested in privacy issues in emerging tech - particularly from a messaging, public opinion, and public understanding pov. Yours?

Welcome! I interviewed a few weeks ago, but am still waiting on a decision from them!

Wahooooo!!!!! Congrats - hope you are celebrating tonight!!

This week is a mixed bag for me, but it's only Wednesday! The wait, however, is really getting to me. I have ants in my pants.

Amazing news! Congratulations! I hope you do something fun to celebrate tonight!

No request for MSU interview either, but again, I'm not discounting them until I get an actual notice saying "no". There's just so many factors outside our control in the PhD application process, some we don't even know about. Just keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck!

Hey! Just wanted to say sorry and that I recognize how frustrating the application process can be for international students. Hang in there. It's still early so all is not lost! And if it's any consolation, several of my friends in PhD programs were notified in at the tail end or got in after being waitlisted (spaces opening up). I haven't heard anything from MSU either, so they're probably just working things out over there. Also, my unsolicited two-cents, I don't look at apps again after submitting because I would just make myself crazy with "what ifs" and "I could have did this better." (Ruminating about it in my head is another matter).

Hi all - I'm interested in USC's PhD in communication, and they have two deadlines: Nov 1 (priority) and Dec 1 (final). Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there any huge benefit to sending it in by Nov 1? Thanks!!

@Larik001, I agree so quiet! Is anyone interested in setting up a time to chat and get to know each other since we're all in the same boat this semester? I could set up a Discord or Zoom!

I am!! Already stressing...!
