pingsmile Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I got a Taiwan offer earlier today... good luck to those still waiting Have the Taiwan offers all gone out? I'm still waiting
ethalog Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 To those of you who have called the office: Are they generally receptive to calls? I'd really like to at least know the date I can expect to hear by, as it's unfair to keep my other potential way less exciting summer plans waiting indefinitely. But, I am sure they are busy and don't want to irritate them too much!
nrobles8 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 To those of you who have called the office: Are they generally receptive to calls? I'd really like to at least know the date I can expect to hear by, as it's unfair to keep my other potential way less exciting summer plans waiting indefinitely. But, I am sure they are busy and don't want to irritate them too much! I have generally had a hard time getting a hold of either Anne or Elena. I was able to call in last week early in the morning, something like 9 Am Eastern Time, and was able to have Elena answer.
pdelta Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I called Anne at 11 am eastern time yesterday, and she picked up right away. She was very friendly about taking my call, and forthcoming about when I would hear back.
ethalog Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 FYI for those still waiting on Singapore: Offers are being sent out later today and tomorrow (Just talked to Elena, she was an excellent help if you still haven't heard back).
Vehelits17 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Just got my tentative offer! Anyone else going to Taiwan?
nadasade Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 So, has anyone received an email after they accept? I'm worried since I didn't get any sort of acknowledgement of my acceptance...
Vehelits17 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) So, has anyone received an email after they accept? I'm worried since I didn't get any sort of acknowledgement of my acceptance... Elena emailed me right back after i accepted Edited February 27, 2014 by Vehelits17
nadasade Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Alright. I just talked to her. She said she follows up on everyone who doesn't respond to make sure, even talking to advisors, so I'm all clear.
PiTwoComplete Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Elena emailed me right back after i accepted Same here. And she was super friendly. I got a smiley face and she said that she was looking forward to seeing me in April, which suggests that the tentative offer isn't really that tentative.
hennij35 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Has anyone heard anything about China announcements??
birdboy8964 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I'm still waiting on China as well. Getting anxious
Superego Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I emailed Elena yesterday and she told me they are still working on China, but told me to keep the dates for orientation open...I hope that's a good sign.
Bainuo Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Still waiting on China as well... Hopefully tomorrow?
hennij35 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Fellow China applicants, I talked to Elena via email and they are hoping to send out China offers by late next week, so rest easy for another week.
Abigaelb4 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hey Boomy88! Another person on here heard about Singapore on Wednesday so I guess the Singapore announcements all went out. I didn't get an email so I assume I didn't get in. Bummer!
cwest Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I got my tentative offer for Taiwan on Monday. Does anyone know when we are suppose to receive the stipend? It's not clear to me from the handbook, but it sounds like it would be some time during the summer institute period. Congrats to everyone who has received an offer! To those who are still waiting, I hope you receive a response soon!
omega3315 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 For those still waiting and think they may not get offer, don't give up hope. People were receiving tentative offers for Australia two weeks ago, and I just received one last week. To those still waiting, I wish you all the best of luck!
birdboy8964 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Anyone else heard about China? I'm still waiting for an email.
throwaway1221123231132 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I got a tentative offer for Shanghai yesterday - looks like it's going to happen!
pastemonger Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Any further details about the D.C. orientation?
