Hi Erin, I emailed Rutgers and they told me I was also accepted but waitlisted for funding. Go figure!! Also, I feel the same way about Ohio State. Leaning towards attending but haven’t received my full funding package yet. Best of luck if you have any other remaining apps left!

Thanks for letting me know, and congratulations!!! I am a bit confused with no acceptance or rejection for me yet ? I checked my portal this morning and still nothing! Is there a program that you've been accepted to thus far that you are leaning towards attending?

Hello all. Has anyone who applied to Rutgers University heard back yet? I saw someone post that they checked their portal and there was a rejection. I checked mine and it still says "Check back for a decision on your application!"

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. I am human-environment as well, and my interests are queer & disability geographies, energy landscapes, and climate change. Best of luck with the other applications!

Thanks for letting me know! Trevor is on a grant project with my POI at Delaware, Rebecca Nixon! We probably have a lot of overlapping interests. Did the department at PSU send you an email directly and/or did they talk about funding in it? Thanks in advance.

Living in State College was really nice! It is a bit in the "middle of nowhere", but there is plenty to do, the department faculty are really nice, and the school spirit / culture is great. The transit bus system in State College is also really good, and I rarely used a car - mostly walked and rode the buses! Also in terms of going back, I am a bit torn. I think my PhD decision will really depend on funding amount & advisor fit. Best of luck with the virtual recruitment day!

Perhaps those who applied to Dual Titles will find out soon?! Fingers crossed for both of us. I did my BS in Geography at Penn State. Luke wasn't there when I was a student, but I really enjoyed working with other climate-related faculty! I took a lot of Climatology courses with Dr. Andrew Carleton who recently retired.

Hey Ayma, thanks for letting me know! Who is your POI at Penn State? I applied to the Dual Title in Geography and Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies, and my POI is Melissa Wright. Best of luck to you for Penn State and the other programs you applied to. I know it was super nerve wrecking doing this process for my Masters, and it is even more nerve wrecking now waiting to hear back this round!

Hi Erin, Congratulations on Penn State! I applied as well but haven't heard back yet. Who is your POI at Penn State? Also, I was accepted at Ohio State on January 18th. My POI is Becky Mansfield. Best of luck for the other programs as well!

Hi all, Thanks for starting this thread! I applied to the following Geography PhD programs: - Ohio State University - Penn State University - University of Delaware - Rutgers University I have been accepted to Ohio State (1/18) and Delaware (1/13) so far, and haven't heard from Penn State or Rutgers yet.
