No formal rejection yet from UCLA - and wondering if waitlists have gone out? No hopes of an acceptance definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am super happy with and thankful for my offers I already have and don't want to come across as anything else. I just really love their program and think I have a really great fit so I'm still super hopeful for some positive news. Anyway, I guess I just wanted to vent my feelings to people I know will understand me It's hard to wait but least you already have incredible/outstanding/amazing/mind-blowing options BrownSugar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polisci21 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi all, it's my first time using the forum. Just wanted to say first that I appreciate all the positivity and encouragement I had indirectly received from this place! I hope we all receive good news this week Besides this, I was wondering if any of you received information regarding funding at OSU already? Last email I received said it would be released last week or early this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pspr Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I have learned from my POI at Cornell that they can only admit 2 CP people from the pool of over 200 CP applications. That's basically less than 1 percent! This cycle is BRUTAL. I think there's one or two people on this thread who have already claimed the CP acceptances and/or waitlisted. These guys are basically Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark ?. By the way, my POI is not on the adcom, so he had no idea about when the official results would be sent to us, nor can he explicitly tell if I have been rejected ?.

I'm astounded than an Ivy league university department can only offer a spot to 2 CP students, even if it's a pandemic year. Same question for Columbia and UPenn, both of whom didn't admit students to be able to support current students better. Maybe there's something about university funding that I don't get but where do those Ivy league endowments go???

Maybe there's something about university funding that I don't get but where do those Ivy league endowments go??? My understanding is that part of it is money, but part of it is time. Many current PhD students are having to extend their time in program due to Covid-19 - particularly those who have had to put fieldwork on hold. So in addition to funding constraints, some programs aren't taking on a full cohort because they don't want to wind up with too many PhD students in the program at one time and not enough supervisory support to do their current and future students justice. poliscihopeful2021, Crossed_fingers, BrownSugar and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there's something about university funding that I don't get but where do those Ivy league endowments go??? I second @afjackie. Also, it may be in part because these programs are so well resourced and highly respected that they can afford to "take a year off" or scale back to be sure that funding and other resources (time) are best allocated. They can prioritize current students and make sure the program is in order without taking a lasting hit to their reputation or future interest in their program - people will always be interested in a Cornell, Columbia, UPenn, UNC, etc. degree, so they likely won't be dinged long-term for being cautious for a year or two.

I got an email from OSU's Director of the dept. last week informing me that I have been awarded a university fellowship, and that an official letter should come this week but she wanted to congratulate me....

However, all that really means is they're considering the app for the unfunded MA, not that you're still in the running for the phd. poliscihopeful2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
