Just asking, don't get me wrong (If I had an offer from Harvard,I would not think much about my decision).

NeuroKween Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 For all those waiting on Columbia, I heard that they’re very slowly rolling out decisions since the past few weeks and have sent only approx 1/3 of the acceptances so far. Not sure what their strategy is, but I think that makes sense given how spread out the acceptances are on the results page. so hang in there! neurochurro99, Neuronancer and snowbaby 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like their strategy might be to softly waitlist people without telling them they are waitlisted... Just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is planning to say no to Columbia, please do so sooner rather that later! Edited March 9, 2021 by NeuroQween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothbrain Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Finally got my rejection from Columbia yesterday. Not surprised but still a little disappointed. At least that makes my choice easy.

astrocytic Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 for anyone choosing between programs: how did you make your decision? everyone says your advisor is key but I don't know who my advisor would be for either program, or what exactly I'd be working on. 4sdch, pedrxre and MoronPhDApplicant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety101 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Officially accepted to UCSD! This year has been very tough. Applied to almost 18 schools and ALL but 3 were rejections. However, where there is a will... there is a way. I am an international student so this process was that much more of a whirlwind. I am glad that I can finally breathe and this forum has been very helpful. Good luck to us all and if anyone will be committing to UCSD as well, message me! minimini, dopamine_machine, 4sdch and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential advisors is key. Of course you can't know who you'll end up with, but which program has the most faculty you want to work with? Which program gave you the best vibes? I'd recommend emailing faculty you're most interested in at each program you're considering and asking for a meeting/call, and talk to them about your deciding process.

NotDawsonsCreek Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Just got the UNC rejection. Looks like 9 rejections out of 10 this year... but that's okay! Looks like I'll be going to Virginia Tech, couldn't be happier! Neuro-tic and minimini 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
