Anyone claiming the most recent Harvard acceptance? 😶

Cornell appears to be out. Waiting was like death by spoon.

No fr I was talking to my undergrad advisors about how to impress them and they were like it's them then trying to impress you. I'm just sitting here like clearly you've never met an anxious person bc that does not matter to me. I'm gonna view this as an audition no matter what!

Oooo I feel like meeting with people you want to work with is the biggest, but I think from a practical sense, scoping out where you might want to live is a good idea if you have time. Scratch that, make some time to do that.

This has been the most helpful this forum has ever been it's it's not even close

Thanks for being up front

The question we all have, and the one I wanted more evidence of, is are we going to lose our positions or funding if we don't accept now? That is sort of what @OhMy READ THIS was suggesting, and I have seen some evidence that this is the case for some schools, but not most of them. @A Dalek is suggesting the same thing, so I guess I am asking if that is this going to be a mad dash to fill positions, or can I afford to wait to get off a waitlist? I feel like this is the crux of our argument, but the one thing no one is willing to say out loud, only insinuate (perhaps for a good reason, I will admit). I sincerely appreciate anyone who can help us here. A special thanks to @A Dalek for giving us some insider information.

Saw an article today saying Pitt unfroze their PhD admissions. Good news!

Do you have some other source other than personal connections to substantiate this? I am not saying what you are saying is false. But if it is not true and people quickly accept places without due diligence, that could have catastrophic consequences for their program experience and careers. Once again, I am not saying that you are necessarily wrong (but I pray to God you are), but I hope there is more evidence for what you are saying, given the advice you are offering. Unless what you are saying is true, accepting before the visiting day seems like a bad idea if you have several good offers.

A source at Harvard told me that this is exactly the case.

Sorry, I did not see your post @PLSC25.What are the odds this spreads to other cali schools? I have no idea how to deal with this btw. Write your reps, if you are American.

Some of my friends have had their funding offers retroactively cut down for their PhD offers bc of the Trump cuts. UCSD specifically

Can you ask them is I, Gryad Yuat, and my friend, Dock Triat, and on the list? Or my other friend, Can Bridge?

We really gonna get GTA 6 before we hear back from Harvard...

Not in a similar position, but if *this* is what we get after 2 months of fuckface von clownstick, it will almost certainly be worse after a year. Do you mind me asking where you got in?
