Has anyone applied to U of Kansas or UIUC?

Hi, I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through such a hard time. If it helps, I’m super anxious too and feel like I’m not gonna get accepted anywhere. My situation is similar to yours in another way. Although I have applied to additional schools for peace of mind, I really need to get into this one school where my husband is also pursuing a PhD. We’re both from outside the destination country, and everyone said it’s near impossible to be accepted into the same school in different programs, different terms. I have applied to 3 programs in that particular university, and although they said decisions will be out in Feb/Mar, I still can’t stop refreshing the portal pages, along with the other portal pages of other unis I applied to. So far I haven’t heard back from anywhere, and although it might not sound logical, it seems like my dream of a PhD is a lost cause. You see, I work at this think-tank where there are multiple talented and brilliant researcher colleagues who have tons of experience and publications. I don’t have any. I feel so small everyday going to work, and then I come back and keep refreshing my portals, and nothing helps. So stranger, I know what you’re talking about. I feel for you. Hold on tight, let’s see where this takes us. < 3

Hi, I have seen one UIC acceptance so far, has anyone gotten rejections or any other notifications? Also, anything from CU Boulder?
