Who got accepted to the UIUC's ICR??

[commtome]

Just like all you guys, I've seen lots of acceptances/rejections and even waitlisters from all the universities that have Comm. programs. But as some of you might notice no one has claimed an acceptance to the ICR (Ph.D.), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign so far - there were rejections and a waitlister (me) on the results board. One of my friends even didn't get any kind of notification (as of the end of March). Do you guys have any idea how many funded spots they offered? Anyone have a friend who got accepted? Thank you so much for sharing your info!!

Two of my friends were rejected; one was accepted. They all knew by mid-march. The campus visit weekend was Mar 18 I believe. Not sure how their waitlist works, so you may be waitlisted. It is one of your top choices? Perhaps you can ask for an extension on decision making until you've heard back?

Thank you for your information, Jcantrone! I received the email on that day, I guess. Now I know, at least, there are actual people getting in there. Yes, it's one of my top choices and I have nine more days to make my final decision, though I think I'll be told in a couple of days. How are things going Jcantrone, have you decided where to go?

Hey commtome,

I've withdrawn myself from the waitlist at Umass and sent my acceptance letter to Pitt! Feels good to have that decision out of the way. (My girlfriend is very glad to not have to hear me obsess over the deeper meanings of emails with DGSs and so forth.) How are things going with you?

Congrats, Jcantrone! Great to hear that you finally got off the waitlist! It's your top choice, isn't it? I guess I'll be able to make my final decision in a couple of days, you know, I'm still waiting to hear back from the two of my top choices. But If both of them say no, or their funding offers are not as good as what I've got, I'm also going to Pitt!

Thanks! Glad to hear you got off the Pitt waitlist as well! (Small world) Hope that your top choices get back to you soon; at least you have a great offer at a great school to fall back on
