comradecommissar Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Is anyone with an offer at NYU or MIT not going to accept? Would really appreciate it if folks declined the offer ASAP if they're not going to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really appreciate it if folks declined the offer ASAP if they're not going to go. I am an NYU admit and went to their virtual recruitment events on Friday. More than 25 admitted students were there, and the expected cohort size is 12. Hope this is helpful.

Endor0790 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi all! Is anyone here declining UVA? Also, should I expect waitlists to be solved by April 15? funfetti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funfetti Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I am confused by the timing for waitlist movement as it has been communicated by universities. Some schools have said that they make many offers to waitlisted folks after April 15 and even as late as early June. How would this work? Do people accept an offer on April 15 and then back out after the deadline if they get an waitlist admit? Or does admission off of the waitlist after April 15 end up only "helping" people who (a) didn't get in elsewhere or (b) gambled and didn't accept an offer?

Yes. You only have one shot to go to grad school. Even if it's mean to the school that first accepted you, if it's a step up, you should take the new opportunity.

skullkid Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Hi! Is anyone planning to attend a Master's program in PS? I received an offer from an outstanding PS Department for admission to the Master's program with a partial tuition scholarship, but I don't think I can cover on my own the total cost of attending. The program starts relatively soon, and Fullbright scholarships are aimed at the entering class of fall 2022 (so no option there). Right now my country does not have any international scholarships. Is anyone in a similar situation? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to finance this? Any ideas would be most valued.

comeonilliiowa Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Has anyone yet to receive a status update from UC, Riverside? I've sent them an email to ask about my status update, but there was no reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakimarquis Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I have been waiting for 6 weeks after being placed in the waitlist at Dartmouth. I applied for 8 PhD programs and got 1 waitlist and 7 reject. This is my only hope now. I asked the POI about the information, he said "I am still waiting to hear back from both candidates. I have a feeling that they are going to sit on their offer till April 15 and I cannot do anything about it.". What does it means? It seems that the hope is slim.

I can log in to portal, too. I guess it was just an error that they fixed. I e-mailed York again telling that almost all universities in US and Canada released the results. They responded "Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, we do not have results to report on PhD admissions for international students. We are hopeful that these results can be released in the next few weeks." StarkDark1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that you're unlikely to hear back before the deadline, which is April 15. Them not having heard back from either candidates is good news though -- it means that there's still a chance they'll decline their offers. Good luck! sakimarquis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comradecommissar Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi everyone, received an offer for an MPhil at Oxford along with full funding from Nuffield College. That's that for this cycle for me, and I will be accepting the Oxford offer unless one of my PhD waitlists works out. Its been good, and thank you for being such a supportive community! verschiedene, Barry B. Benson, Sad Politics and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a non-native English speaker, I found myself really have trouble understanding these casual words, although I got full marks on reading part. I mistook his words and thought this "sit on" means "choose" or "stick to". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
