Hello folks and Is no news good news?

[crazyphd]

Ok.....   My husband is applying to graduate school after being out of school for 10 years. 7 years ago he was accepted to SUNY stoneybrook for a phd in poli psychology.  He was unable to accept at SUNY due to my acceptance at UT Austin (long story) 

 

ANYWAY after 7 years here we are again....

 

He has been declined for SUNY, notre dame (not surprised), and UW madison.  He has been accepted to the University of Kent in the UK. 

 

It is now mid febuarsy I am starting to REALLY stress all his other applications, ICU, UNC, Duke and Northeastern all say "under review"  

 

Looking at the results search is seems all but Northeastern have been getting responses for almost a month.....  

 

Is it still possible that he may  get accepted???  Or should we bit the bullet and commit to the long painful (and EXPENSIVE!) process of moving the family to the UK?

Well, no news is no news. There is no way to be certain. However, if acceptances to these programs have gone out awhile ago, chances are that no news is bad news. But all you can do is wait until an official notice is made.

Kent is a fine place, although moving the family can be tough. Best of luck to you all.

No harm in waiting another month for all notifications to go out. But other than the initial cost of the moving to the UK, you will not regret taking your family there. I have a few relatives who did and they think they gave their kids experiences that were priceless. You might want to gather up and thoroughly read through the government forms necessary to make it happen. That always takes more time than you think it will. What a great adventure! Austin to Kent.
