Since we can't join virtually, we should contact POI faculty members to arrange zoom meetings & talk to grad students. I haven't talked to many students there but I am scheduling this. Good luck! surething818 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I applied fairly last minute to the Comms program and it's not one of my top choices in programs (my project/research is Very Interdisciplinary), so I'm less nervewracked about this one than the others I've applied for, haha. infoandcommphd and k8coms 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished an interview with Cornell (also applied to UCSB, UCSD and UPenn and haven't heard back yet from any of them ugh). Absolute bundle of nerves and I'm quite sure I botched the interview, but timeline-wise, I learned that the faculty have until the end of this week/early next to conduct interviews, and they'll be sending out a first round of decisions by later next week. I think I know what decision I'm going to get (screams) but hopefully yall have better luck!! Hey, just something to cheer you up: UPenn sent a bunch of rejections a week ago (including mine), so if you didn’t get one yet, I’d say they might still be considering you for the spot. Or at the very least holding you as backup to their first acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the last schools I need to hear from and the wait is killing me lol Seems like USC is behind on their decisions. Promised early February but here we are. It is my top choice and I thought it’ll be my first letter too. But I already got two rejections (UPenn and Stanford). I feel like if I don’t get into USC, it’s unlikely I’ll get into others (Syracuse and NYU), as USC was the best fit for my topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade_S Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I have started checking my application portals like twice a day. Which is very dumb, since I’m like half a day ahead of the US, so all my decisions will be coming at night for me anyway. Also the reason I’m getting restless sleep and checking emails when I wake up at night, haha. Seems like there aren’t many people here who have applied to the same programs as me. So I had a question for you all. Did you all apply to fully-funded programs only, or did you consider others too? I had to pick top unis because of the funding. Maybe next year I’ll consider more of them. Any recommendations on good universities with a fully funded PhD program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US, I applied to UCSD and U of Michigan. I will say also that non-funded PhD programs are pretty unheard of in Canada, so you might have a better bet applying to schools from here!

k8coms Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Anyone here heard from UCSD? I'm in a bit of a tricky situation where another program wants me to make a choice quickly but UCSD is my top choice right now... Wondering if I should assume if I haven't heard at this point I'm rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! They didn't explicitly state that all acceptances had gone out/size of cohort, but they mentioned that there would be a recruitment open house that the cohort is invited to with wording that implied that the other folks had been accepted.

Wondering if I should assume if I haven't heard at this point I'm rejected I think at this point it is safe to contact them directly, maybe even make a call and be honest about your situation. They will not hurt your chances of going to another university by holding out on the answer. Either you will be rejected and know for sure you can accept the other offer, or you might get an acceptance on the spot (I think I read in some places where this happened upon contacting the program).
