The problem is, I'm blind and I don't remember any feedback instructing me to go forward on the page, but it was a hectic day, I submitted buncha apps back to back, and somehow missed it. I've been advised to be "more patient with the system" ahahaha, "Great feedback, thanks, I now see the wrong in my ways..." One upside though, after this I was like I've been shot with a tranquilizer, seriously, I became effing zen about the whole process. BC if you can work for sth for months and one small mistake can lead you here, seriously all it would take was two more clicks, you can have no control whatsoever about the bigger, more important aspects of this, what you can control is the process before you hit "submit" So if I'm not in charge no need for me to become supercharged about anything. Yeah, you came here for possible updates on your applications, little did you know that you would get a rant pseudo-philosophizing about those from a random stranger. I couldn't submit two applications bc I didn't have enough funds to complete them by the deadline, so it's almost the standard for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any suggestions? I love the McCourt location, but accordingly Harris ranked higher. On the other hand, Harris MPP have a large amount of students. which program is better for my career goal? Please help! Thanks for answering ! Harris hands down has more consulting opportunities.

Also surprised by how early they released the result. I saw all the update of WashU on the result page is acceptance, and I was also told the formal offer will come later. Maybe only a first group of students get the result? Still felt like dreaming tho, and kind of worrying if they send the email to a wrong person (like me) lol coffeeman123, TerribleTowel and Aztec 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleTowel Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I also got an unofficial acceptance from Washington St. Louis - funding email will come later. There is no change on the portal. The email was from the admissions director and was sent at exactly 1 pm central time. PippenRabbit, coffeeman123, Senochka and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wild to me that some private universities don't offer them, or put quotas. some of these places are filthy rich (looking at you Northwestern) I'm from Turkey and suffered much due to exchange rates during the process. True that some of those in the top 50 have endowments surpassing the GDPs of the poorer half of the world's countries, and that money is partly made by selling dreams to us, so... In all seriousness, though, I believe if a person had shed sweat and tears and completed years of training before coming to a school's door for a PhD, the school should at least give the student a chance at FairPlay by lifting stupid obstacles such as fees on the way. I received waivers for about half of my apps, some of these are from schools with the biggest endowments and names where I don't stand a chance. So only two of the waivers had actually done a meaningful job. Some schools are asking for GRE fee waivers as a prerequisite, and I'm like "Where in the world an enterprise offers special services to you that involve preparing special material, shipping them across the world, and charge nothing for it?" Seriously, what are the chances of a disabled International student receiving test fee waivers? The whole system is engineered to make the students, domestic and int'l alike, feel like hurdle race horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butlerianjihad Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Claiming a George Washington admit. Comp pols. I am an international applicant. This is the first admission decision I received so still waiting for other schools to make up my mind but GWU is a very good fit for me so very excited about it.
