applicant2013fall Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 How heavily are GRE scores weighted in admission for ph.d programs? I had an interview for BC phd program and they were concerned about my GRE scores. I don't know how important it is, but they absolutely look at GRE scores, especially analytical writing.

SMS8213 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Still no results up for UNC but I know they have begun notifying MSW admits. Anyone heard anything? To early to call and ask if they have completed admissions? Wondering the same. It's the last school I'm really anxious to hear from. Good luck!

Blisslyricist Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Wondering the same. It's the last school I'm really anxious to hear from. Good luck! I finally emailed UNC yesterday. The response was that they had made some decisions and may make some more and that they should be done in a few weeks. Hopefully we will hear soon. Good luck to you too!

somerset Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 on a wait list at Rutgers- the director of the PhD program just informed me! While I am happy I am not rejected I dont know what to make of my chances...she said that they are only taking 5 people this year and thus the process was very competitive.....and that they will let me know by April...any thoughts?

misterpyle215 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I was accepted to Arizona State with full funding (e.g. tuition waived, living stipend, and Research Assistantship). How long was the funding offered for? I am just curious about what the average is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasd88 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 up to 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasd88 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 How long was the funding offered for? I am just curious about what the average is! Keep in mind that ASU offered me very "unusual" package. A few colleagues who applied to asu last year, were not offered nearly as much as they offered me. It may be due to an increase in funding this year...but who knows :-/.

babbb Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 At WashU they offer students a base stipend of $18,500 plus full tuition coverage and health insurance per year for four years. They say you can earn more doing research or teaching assistantships, of course. I was offered an NIMH pre-doctoral fellowship through the school that gives me a stipend of $22,000 (instead of the $18.5k) plus full tuition coverage, health insurance, equipment/software allowance, and travel/conference allowance per year for three years. They said after the three years the fellows are picked up on one of the faculty's research projects and their stipend is paid for out of the grant money and that can usually be in the low $30ks per year. The tuition and health insurance I assume are covered under the base coverage that everyone receives. So in short, tuition is always covered, health insurance always provided, and at least $18,500 per year for living expenses. You can make more by applying for fellowships or doing assistantships.

Blisslyricist Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I heard from UNC--I did not get into the MSW/PhD program but they did admit me to the MSW. Congrats, JazzHands! Its a top 10 school. Getting in to either program is an accomplishment! You also never know what will happen if you do attend their MSW program. If you connect with faculty and focus on collaborative and independent research, you may open up the PhD door while you are there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzHands Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thank you Bliss! I really appreciate your words of encouragement I'm really hoping that will be the case. Have you heard back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Dyer Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So I am far away from applying to a PhD program but I am starting at UIC in the fall for my MSW. I know I eventually want to get my PhD, does anyone have any advice they can share? Things they wish they would have done differently while in graduate school? I would really appreciate it!
