I was *very* impressed with the quality of the applicants they admitted - I bet they will get a fantastic cohort. On the other hand, I didn't feel like I connected quite as much with the faculty I was interested in working with there as I did at the other program I visited. I also got the impression that it would be difficult to get too much attention working outside demography and perhaps a couple other strengths - I got the impression that the grad student research presentations were representative of the strengths of the department, and Hamilton might be a lonely place for people with other interests.

I just declined.

I hope this opens up space for waitlistees!!!!

Thanks ewurgler for being considerate for the people on wait list. I am one of waitlistees and I am still waiting. Ewurgler, what is the deadline for accepting/ declining the offer? I'd like to learn about this so that I can estimate when UNC is going to send me an email.

Though you have declined the offer for some days already, I still don't have any reply from UNC. My nerves get on me and I just keep checking email...very sick indeed.

Thanks for your information in advance.

HKgal--

I am pretty sure UNC's deadline is April 15th just like everyone else.

Good luck!
