  1. Here. declined 3 programs that I am sure I won't attend.
  2. Here. One matching faculty reached out, it doesn't seem like a generic offer so there's probably more to come. Really happy rn.
  3. Yeah the rej is delayed because they would select some of the rejs and send out an offer for a partially funded terminal MA program
  4. Umich has sent out an exactly the same rej letter as last year lol; talk about money down the drain
  5. Not me in the result page but am accepted at NYU; also accepted at WUSTL and Emory. Pretty happy about this one for a very good fit; but I will be starting PhD 3 years after undergrad.
  6. Hey is anyone here familiar with the social science program in CalTech? Thanks!
  7. As a second-time applicant I just want to point out that this year’s mood seems unnecessarily intense. Remember: your result is going to be released on your end. No one here can change that. Other people telling you (free of charge) their accept/rej is a potentially informative message for you that you may or may not benefit from. If you don’t believe it, you could always walk away. On a more general note, this should be a friendly community; it is the way it is because we don’t ask too much from other people and show true appreciation when they offer advice/support. It’s not a place to dump your anxiety on others by throwing very personal comments or pushing potential audience to forfeit their offer before its due.
  8. I didn’t see it instantly but to be fair they did say that the offer was issued on Friday.
  9. I second that; some people got into their top program first and the withdrawal is a no brainer- but many of us will get admits in several similarly ranked programs with differing levels of desirability in location, cohort size, faculty fit. That’s really not a quick decision to make and it is unfair for them to rush into any life decision that defines at least their next 5-7 years when they very much earned the chance to be hesitant.
  10. I had one recently and I bombed it bc I forgot some model setup from my writing sample on the spot; I got questioned for ~30 mins about it and didn’t really deliver a good answer by the end. I think many people out there would say that faculties don’t read ur writing sample carefully and you should mostly be prepared to pitch ur identity and SOP quickly, I would caution against that.
  11. Exactly my point; even Oxbridge is not unconventional top 2 how can one school say that it should be top 3 in Asia lol- Although I do believe that the UIC analysis is very convincing, probably just a typo situation
