AHL Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 International admits of UCSD: I just received a revised acceptance letter containing more relevant funding information for folks like us. It says that the department awards me with three years of non-resident tuition apart from the stipend. I just followed up by asking whether this policy applies in addition to the funding package (http://ogs.ucsd.edu/academic-affairs/degree-information-procedures/non-resident-tution-for-doctoral-candidates.html). I will share any updates that I get.
Targy Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Congrats to the Emory admit! Were you interviewed as well?
paleblueeyes Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Congrats to everyone who received acceptances today! Still haven't heard from any of the schools I applied to, although I'm assuming I've been rejected from Rutgers. I'm starting to feel like I was a little too ambitious shooting for PhD programs and maybe should have applied to at least a few Masters programs. Oh well.... too late now.

You shouldn't assume you got rejected from Rutgers! There were a few acceptances on the results page over a week before I got mine, and I saw a few more the past few days. I think they are doing them in waves. I'm not sure if that helps, but I thought I'd try!
kal5 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Anyone claiming the Georgetown admits? Which fields are you folks in?

timeless90 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Would you guys say UCSD is pretty much done with their decisions? Seems like a number of people on this forum are neither accepted nor rejected...

I'm not sure if that helps, but I thought I'd try! Thank you for letting me know that! That gives me at least a little bit of hope. When I log on to check my status on the Rutgers portal it just says "no decision," so maybe they just haven't reviewed my application yet....
cane14 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I was accepted a week ago and mine still says no decision, so don't read too much into it!
CGMJ Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Would you guys say UCSD is pretty much done with their decisions? Seems like a number of people on this forum are neither accepted nor rejected... I think there is an informal wait-list, but not sure how it works. There may also be a different timeline for the joint PhD with IRPS.
wisescience Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I think there is an informal wait-list, but not sure how it works. There may also be a different timeline for the joint PhD with IRPS. Thank you for your thoughts. I'm also part of the group awaiting to hear a decision of some kind. There's still hope. =)

jazzrap Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Update: Yes, this policy does apply in addition to whatever funding package you get. Sounds awesome:) Will I receive the same letter? Hopefully!
Zahar Berkut Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Somewhat surprised not to hear from Michigan today. Maybe tomorrow? Also keeping my fingers crossed for Columbia this week.
AHL Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Sounds awesome:) Will I receive the same letter? Hopefully! I'm pretty sure the policy of full deduction after achieving candidacy applies to every non-resident student, since it is on its website. However, in my case UCSD has given out information in chunks, perhaps unintentionally. First I got the letter I assume every admit got, whether domestic or international. I emailed back with the inquiry about funding, and got the revised letter awarding first three semesters' non-resident tuition. I emailed back, again, with the question of whether the said policy applies in addition to the funding package, and got an affirmative response. In other words, I don't think you have much to worry about, assuming different individuals' funding packages don't differ wildly. However, either you'll get this information in your official admission letter, or they have to be specifically asked to tell you.
TheGnome Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Michigan has to be this week, hopefully tomorrow. Columbia is a reasonable call, given the previous patterns. Also maybe Stanford and Yale on Thursday or Friday - though the latter might be a bit of a stretch. What else?

I don't think Yale and Stanford will send out offers Thursday or Friday, however. Both were slow historically. But Columbia and MIT definitely this week

steedyue Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) MIT any day now, if past patterns hold. 20 bucks on MIT and Columbia. Edited February 11, 2014 by steedyue
veritaserum Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Wow, looks like I missed a lot over the last couple of days. Congrats to everyone who's heard positive news recently!!!
cjalpha Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 20 bucks on MIT and Columbia. I'm applying to grad school, not Wall Street. If I had $20, I'd buy new socks and the slightly more expensive kind of macaroni and cheese. Zahar Berkut, Poli92 and NYCBluenose 3

Also maybe Stanford and Yale on Thursday or Friday - though the latter might be a bit of a stretch. What else? I think Columbia is likely (my guess is Thurs/Fri). Several days ago someone from Stanford mentioned that the committee was meeting again this Thursday, so perhaps Friday, though early next week is also possible. MIT should definitely be any day now.

Probably postal service again this year, y'all reckon? I know a couple days/pages back, someone got into touch with UCLA and the response was that it was still a work in progress, but there has literally been no movement whatsoever from them. Are they basically waiting on an internal waitlist then, before notifying rejections officially? Oh whatever, just going to presume a rejection at this point then.
gerasy Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 20 bucks on MIT and Columbia. I have insider information (from one of the grad students there), that Columbia will finalize their decisions this week. So I would also bet on this as this will happen with probability 1 jeudepaume 1
