The Harvard rejection letter came on Monday stating he was a runner up. UC-Irvine's acceptance letter came on Monday but only 30% funding. So it looks like he got into the Cali schools. Too bad California is bankrupt and has terrible funding. Maklelan, we've been talking to current students at the the California schools that offer no upfront funding or very little upfront funding. We keep getting feedback that they eventually got very good funding by applying for fellowships, outside scholarships and teaching positions. Of course it is stressful to not know up front what kind of funding you'll get but if no/little upfront funding is all we get, we are still determined to chase this dream. I hope you achieve your dream as well.

Hope its ok that I am posting. My husband is applying to PhD programs in religion (Islamic Studies/Comparative Religion) but I am way more anxious about where he gets in because it'll mean our family is re-locating. I'm proud of him either way but still running to check our mailbox everyday. I would like to move to Cali but funding doesn't look so great there Stanford rejection came via email late February CGU acceptance with 31% funding came via email, letter and phone call on March 9th (around 4:30 pm) UCSB acceptance with an unclear comment on "no funding" came via email and letter March 9th Still waiting on Harvard (Religion) and UC Irvine (Anthropology). Do you think those programs have already sent out their acceptance letters?
