  1. I think I'm just going to block this forum from my browser and wait for the email, this was too stressful yesterday lol
  2. Oh god I'm not ready -- but I also need this wait to be over 😩
  3. Hoping we get results back sooner rather than later! I would be over the moon if the GRFP came through
  4. Just letting you all know I recently turned down the RAND offer. Hope that means movement on the waitlist for you all, best of luck!
  5. Yes! Two very different programs. I'm leaning USC now, but going to keep an open mind through the process.
  6. Hey everyone -- just letting you know for planning purposes that I got an acceptance today. Hope it works out for you all as well! Gonna be a tough decision.
  7. Sorry to hijack this thread, but there are so few people who applied to this type of program that I'm interested in talking with you all! I am curious in others' opinions -- for those that are also interested in RAND: so I got into USC's Pub. Pol & Management PhD, fully funded and a very solid stipend (higher than what I understand RAND gives and full program commitment rather than piecemeal like RAND's). I guess what I'm wondering is -- is there any real...point in still keeping RAND's option going in my mind? I find their hybrid model interesting, but I have to say my major concerns are: 1. I often have to give a lot of explanation and backstory about what exactly this program is, which worries me about how universal it's value will be; and 2. So you get one year of guaranteed funding, and then the rest of your funding is contingent on finding work? I guess that aspect makes me nervous, because I am wondering if people ever *don't* get projects to staff on. Just don't want to be worried about making my rent during the program, if that makes sense. Especially in contrast to a traditional program like USC. Just curious what your thoughts are!
  8. I only applied to a couple programs, my top choice being USC. I had an interview a couple weeks ago which I think (hope) went well. Based off of prior years' data on the results page I think that this and/or last week would be the week we hear if it was good news, but with each passing day I get more nervous decisions have already gone out. Did anyone happen to hear anything?
