Hey, everyone,

I am hoping to connect with others who are in a similar situation as I am. Western has been my top program for over a year now and I was notified of my admission with funding on March 10th(!). I have emailed and called Dr. Rice several times since I was accepted with some questions that I have about the program/my assistantship offer and I have yet to hear back from her. So far there has been no talk of an online info session and I am getting increasingly nervous about the prospect of accepting the offer with no information about the program (or assistantship) whatsoever.

I know that the school has transitioned to remote learning and I assume that the COVID19 outbreak has made the department incredibly busy, but at this point I have emailed and called both the program and the graduate school and recieved no response back over the course of 3 weeks. I have also search facebook for a facebook group of admitted students but found none so far. 

Does anyone know what's going on? Is anyone else in the same boat as me? Should I just wait it out? I have other offers of admission with funding from other schools that I have yet to turn down because of the situation I'm in with Western, and I know that every day that goes by that I hold these spots I am potentially taking them someone else on the waiting list for these schools.

Any advice or information from anyone in my situation would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance for your help!
