Kansas isn't really the closest in terms of fit. That being said, if an offer comes in I'll still consider it. To be completely honest (and again, I don't how if I should say this), one of the main reasons I applied there is because they were one of the few ones to give me an application fee waiver.

Thanks, I'll probably do that.

I would have, but I'm afraid of somehow offending them and then them withdrawing the offer (I know, I know, it sounds crazy). But getting an offer means that much to me, and I don't wanna do anything that might make me lose the only funded offer I have.

I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to say things from my offer letter, but I guess no one from the department administration is lurking here. Basically it says (quoting) "please consider that it is imperative to return the documents in time in order to ensure that all documents required to process your visa application are present." Unless your offer letter has something similar, don't fret about it.

I don't really know. Most of these (apart from USC) had their deadlines mid January, so I guess they may take their sweet time. USC usually releases late February, so again I might be out of luck. Although I don't really think I'm a competitive enough candidate for USC. Tbh, at this point I consider myself lucky to have any offer at all. Apart from that, the only one I'm really looking forward to is UNL, since it'd be a really good fit for me.

I have till the 18th, so till the end of next week. Hopefully I have an update till then. I have assumed a soft rejection from Northwestern, and I don't really care about FIU now, so 5 more universities to actually hear back from (including an update on the waitlist at Temple).

It's not exactly like I have to accept by that date, but the implication that if I don't accept by that date then there could be delays in them processing my visa, etc. There's always that threat hanging over International Students, especially from the Global South.

It's super frustrating! Especially since I have been given a 15 day deadline to accept or reject the only offer I have now (I know the April Resolution, but I think it's something to do with visa processing), and I want to have some more results by then.

I guess they meant that an acceptance at a better institute (higher ranked, better fit, etc) would have been better. I have a funded acceptance from University of Cincinnati, but I'd be absolutely over the moon if USC or Northwestern (lost all hope for that one tbh) also send an admit.

Can someone claim the University of Utah admit? That was one of the schools I applied to, but haven't heard anything. If they really have sent out the admits, it may be a rejection for me.

Congratulations! You are absolutely killing it this cycle!

Happy Sunday, people! Finally, a day to not worry about getting results, and to rest. The week ahead is going to be very busy, so don't forget to recharge yourselves.

Joined! Thanks for making this!

Congratulations to all the Berkeley admits!!

Claiming a University of Cincinnati offer. My first fully funded offer; the stipend is kinda low but I will definitely take it if this is the only offer I get.

Totally missed that one lmao! I was thinking it was the "dirtbag left" one, but now that you point it out, I think they are all troll. Edit - the third acceptance has GPA 3.69 - also a troll most likely. To all the trolls, please go back to PSR!

One of them is definitely a troll (easy to say which one), but the others seems... normal. I hope someone claims one of those here.

Yep, you're right! Sorry didn't notice that.

Morning everyone!! Hope you're all doing well. Yale and UNC acceptances have come on the results page, anyone claiming those?

Congratulations!! With funding, I presume?

Has anyone else applied to Florida International University? I just got an email from them, asking for official transcripts. This is pretty unreasonable, given that almost all universities make do with unofficial transcripts for the application process, and only ask official transcripts for admission.

Anyone gonna claim the Penn State Acceptance on the results page?

I applied to UNL. Yet to hear anything from them though, which is expected since they had a late-ish deadline.

Hoping for either Northwestern and USC. They both had deadlines in December, so we should be hearing from them soon. They are both my reach schools, so I'm not as hopeful with them, but I'd love to have a decision soon.

Good morning everyone! (well morning for most of you, it's evening for me) To everyone who have gotten offers, congratulations!! I didn't want to individually congratulate you, since it would clog up the thread. But it's absolutely massive, and you should be very proud of yourselves! And for those who are yet to get one, please don't feel bad. It's far, far too early in the cycle to lose hope. Besides your worth isn't decided by any adcom. Hope you all have an excellent day, and remember to take care of yourselves.
