jade888 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Anyone have any insight into negotiating funding offers, whether there already has been one offered or not? I'm not really sure how to do this but will most definitely need to lol Reverseosmosisjones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy_Taft_Coolidge Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 My hopes for getting into UCLA just plummeted to an all time low. I'm still giving it an hour since I received my UT-Austin and University of Arizona decisions late at night. If not than there is always tomorrow.

I've seen someone was accepted, someone rejected, and someone waitlisted around 20 February. Admissions mentioned they are still reviewing applications. What could this mean? Thanks! no updates from Berkeley either. I assumed this silence to be a rejection? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prospect_planner Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 In at UCLA! That marks the end of my cycle so from here it’ll just be seeing where things align with funding. I’m still waiting on the financial info from GT and Penn, but have heard from everywhere else.

Quincy_Taft_Coolidge Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Has anyone heard from UT-Austin for the MAsters of Community and Regional Planning program?

Wouldn't worry. I heard that this admissions cycle was very competitive with abnormally high amounts of applicants. I think that they are sending out decisions in batches as are many other schools which might explain the delay on notifying applicants. ryanm09 and nacohhhhh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
