Have you contacted either school?

I haven’t talked to anyone at Temple, but I see Jerry Rattcliffe frequently and he said they ran behind in letting the results out. I have spoken with Dave Hargrin at UCI and he said decisions are still underway when we last spoke

I applied to UCI & got an email saying late Feb is when decisions will be made.

I'm guessing you don't go to Temple but you live in Philadelphia huh? Did you get an interview at UCI? I thought they did interviews? It sounds like you only applied to a couple programs, and you've only heard back from Arizona State?

I saw an email earlier today that the official letters are going out within a week or so, hopefully we can both rest easy once those come in. I think I am going to head up there around mid March as well. Here's hoping we both get some funding! $17,000 is better than nothing for sure - is your friend Canadian? I do think they get more funding than international students.

She is American. She didn't end up going to SFU but told me that was her offer. A current SFU student told me there's also opportunities for TA and RA positions. I guess we'll have to ask as soon as we get our official letters! Keep me posted :) and good luck!

No I don’t live in Philadelphia, he is dating my mentor at CSULB so I see him when he comes around. I didn’t get an interview and UCI and only applied to the 3 programs

That is a long distance relationship! I’m sorry, is there any reason you only wanted to apply to 3?

Same! Its going to be a hard choice for me, moving to Canada is super appealing, but the money part is stressful.

The cost of the entire process to be honest, and I felt out where my best chances were at ASC.

The cost is ridiculous! I understand that, I also narrowed down my choices a lot. I only applied to four and I did that too, there was a couple of schools receptions I didn’t like at all. I’m lucky because my interests align really well with sociology so I was able to apply to at least one sociology program. I really liked Temples reception but hated Penn States and George Masons lol

And Rutgers has that open bar!

Just got an email from Dr. Groff at Temple saying that I am not offered one of the funded positions right now, but in the next few weeks they hope that I will be! I guess I’m on the waitlist for a funded spot. I may still go even if I don’t get funded.

I head back from them via email a few weeks back.

I got in. They said official decisions go out late Feb but they like to give funded PHDs a headsup for their preview day. Its possible you got in but with no funding. 

Haven’t heard back from FSU../I’m guessing that I didn’t get in.
