Rejected from UCLA. This ends my application cycle.

I have narrowed my decision between UT Austin and USC.

I have rejected all other offers. If you are on the waitlist for UT Austin or USC I will probably make my decision by April 8.

What was the deadline given by USC to make your decision? 
I’m just asking to know how much longer I need to wait for others also to make their decisions regarding USC.

April 15th.

Most schools have this deadline but not all. 

Here are a list of schools who have agreed to this universal deadline according to the "April 15th Resolution":

Oh okay thank you! 
I knew I’d have to wait because I applied on Jan 30th which is very late compared to everyone else. So I guess it’s up to my luck now!

Just got into Pratt with a $28K/year scholarship! They also strongly implied that I would probably be able to get a GA position after enrolling (although from what I’ve seen, their GAs seem to just get a regular salary, not tuition remission).

While I still probably won’t be attending (it would still be more expensive than UT or UNC without funding), I’m just excited to finally get an actual big funding offer. They sent me an amazingly detailed note that referenced the personal details of my statement of purpose, writing sample, and even connected me to some professors I should talk to who share my interests. Very excited to look into the program more! Now just waiting for UCLA??

Hi! I wanted to know what was the deadline given to you to accept Pratt’s offer. I might’ve been waitlisted so I want to know how much longer I need to wait. :’(

If you did not already receive an email concerning acceptance/waitlist/rejection decision you might want to contact the admission team. The April 15 deadline is the deadline for those who are already accepted into the program to decide if they want to accept or reject admittance into the program.

They said April 15. I’m deferring my acceptance there to next year, hope that opens up a spot for this year

I sent two emails two weeks ago. Grad admissions replied saying that they have already completed my academic evaluation, now I just have to wait for the department. 
 

Then I emailed Sarah Esquivel and she said that my application is under review and I should receive a decision in the following weeks. This was two weeks ago so I don’t know what to think of it anymore. I don’t want to pester them but I don’t understand why it’s taking this long.

If you do not hear anything this coming week than I would send a follow up email to Sarah.

Is anyone here planning on attending Cal Poly or CPP for planning?

Right? I was starting to think I was crazy and had imagined them giving us a shorter timeline. 

 

@planningapp22@TomorrowsParties Did either of you by chance hear from UIC on Friday? That was the new date Dr. Tilahun had given me via email but now it's Sunday and still nothing for me...

No. I was seriously considering it but I got bettering funding opportunities elsewhere.

Hi Eric, I am a PhD applicant as well. I think the reply sounds positive—Actually, if you received a reply, that means something positive (from my perspective)! I know some schools have their funding decision making separated from admissions so that will certainly take a longer time. Not sure if that's the case with UMD. 

I once emailed to one professor that I'd love to work with and they replied basically the same (still making the decision, etc.), and I received an update very soon after their reply. Good luck with you!

Thanks!  This is super helpful.

Has anyone heard yet from Rutgers about funding? Hoping to make a decision soon but funding’s a pretty big factor to consider

Sent an email to grad admissions first thing in the morning today and received a reply saying that my application is still under review and they appreciate my patience. I don’t even know anymore! Just here to vent my frustration

ACCEPTED AT USC. Email from Sarah Esquivel. I’m finding it hard to believe ittttt. AAAAA. 
 

edit: she has asked me to submit my statement of intent via the portal by April 15. Did she mean financial documents? Because I’ve already submitted the SoP along with the application right?

Just received a rather generic acceptance email from UBC. No mention of any funding or personalization at all really, but the portal says I have an offer. They’re giving a month for my decision which is more than some other Canadian programs

Thanks so much! I think I'll send an email tomorrow asking if I should expect anything regarding funding, since that's a big factor for me. But definitely going to consider UBC and reject to open up the spot if not

Yeah I totally feel you, not getting funding makes things so hard especially in these expensive cities. Good luck!! Hope you get some $!

@woketacoI think that's just the official "yes, I'm coming" form that you have to fill out (+ any financial docs or official transcripts they require) - shouldn't be much additional work!

The April 15 deadline is just to accept the admission offer.

FIGHT ON!!!
