Emerson Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 to be fair, they don't have that reputable of a program. Very little funding. Meo: if you look at the previous conversations, UVA has restructured their program and now fund every incoming PhD student rather well. Now ever admitee gets a $25,000 stipend (see their website). Also, beyond the financial aspect, it is a very reputable program.

I think he was making a joke about the fact that the other poster had searched "smurf". I visited smurf though, and all of the grad students seemed pretty blue. Must not be a very friendly environment. I only saw one girl the whole time I was there, so you could probably chalk it up to a massive case of blue balls.

Must not have had enough sleep last night. /cowering in corner.
Bukharan Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Smurfs have a problem with placements though. Most of them have to migrate to Europe for jobs. Th Netherlands is particularly accepting of smurfs.

datroy Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Decisions are up on the website (well, rejections are at least)
meo03 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I'm hanging my head in shame for not getting the joke.. Must not have had enough sleep last night. /cowering in corner. Hah, no worries! I knew when I posted it was ambiguous. Got my rejection to UVa today. Still waiting to hear from Smurf Village!
history_PhD Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 So, no one here was accepted to Virginia? That seems odd.
