Bordomavi Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) What are the chances of getting accepted off of the waiting list somewhere? I got a wait-list invite at NCSU about two weeks ago... Edited February 20, 2019 by AmerikaliKardesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe @jriveracal and @socchi92 were the ones promoting it. I'm looking at the numbers now... A lot of it looks accurate (and the concept of it is awesome), but I find it pretty hard to believe that someone at Boulder is getting $40k per year. And find it especially hard to believe that Chicago is simultaneously giving different students $40k, $37k, and $28k...there's no way they have that big of a difference. Any insight? One thing to note is a person is not necessarily getting 40k per year if they inputted 40k, it could be just 40k for one year, including summer and external fellowships. Other years they could be getting less (or more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyselm Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 For those of you admitted to NYUs AQR program, what were your GRE scores? I love the program and am so anxious about the prospect that my score is too low without information on any other applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received my acceptance letter and info about the visit weekend from Amie Acik, their graduate coordinator, but I haven't gotten emails from anyone else. I would love an opportunity to chat with a faculty member or two, if they have time. Berkeley was the only school were I applied to the GSE instead of Sociology dept...but I also am in the same boat. I got an official letter from the Graduate Student Division, then an invite to the Diversity Day, but haven't heard from my dept./ about funding at all.

I'm curious to know what the acceptance notification said if it didn't stipulate whether the admit was funded...They mentioned they didn't know whether or not they had only been awarded a stipend. I'd expect CUNY to be upfront about that. Edited February 21, 2019 by SeijiAmasawyeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect CUNY to be upfront about that. I think their hunch about "tuition" funding probably means it only covers tuition. Another poster last week said they were giving half of the admits full tuition plus stipend, and the other half was only tuition. So it would add up if that were true. Its just strange that the updates from them have been so few and far between SeijiAmasawyeah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atena19 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Made this account just to respond as I am on the same boat with frustration/anxiety. I posted the CUNY acceptance. I was not interviewed but talked to my contact last week after I emailed about acceptances. I am a little on the fence with this, because I was hoping to get full funding. The letter stated that I was awarded a Tuition Fellowship which according to the website is only full tuition coverage for five years. I did not receive an email about my acceptance, I just happened to look at the website and the decision letter was there (dated today, Feb 20th).

I'm anxious too because CUNY is my last school that I have a chance with, so I'm really hoping to get in. Otherwise I have no idea what I'll do lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLMN0701 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have a somewhat random question - do international students know whether we should apply for a tourist visa for the visiting weekend? There seems to also be a different one for those 'attending meetings or conferences' and I'm just not sure whether it would fit into this category?

Was interviewed last week and asked about whether I intended to continue working part time during the PhD. I was awarded only the tuition scholarship in my acceptance letter today. Excited to attend the admitted students events and go from there. SeijiAmasawyeah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then received an email early this morning to check the portal where I found a decision letter with the same package (26k stipend plus tuition waiver for 5 years). Hope this info is helpful and best of luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
