Admission and Wait List Declines


Wait For It...

Recommended Posts

Ok folks, I officially deposited for tufts today, so I declined all three of my Phd offers: Rochester, Iowa, and Tulane. Hope this helps someone!

 

 

Just removed myself from the Texas wait-list. I hope this helps someone else! 

 Congrats to you both!! Well done!

Withdrew my UConn application. No idea where I was on their list, but, in case it was high, I hope this helps.

 

I'll be deciding whether or not I'd take CUNY's offer (which, apparently, I won't find out until next week if I get a fellowship) or UCR's as soon as I can.

Thanks for the info and good luck with your decision! Those are both great programs.

Are you waitlisted for admission, or waitlisted for funding? I was briefly waitlisted for admission, but now just funding. I'm actually worried I gave them the impression that I would attend without funding when I visited; I was asking about other alternative sources, which there actually are some since I already live here and can easily get in state tuition. But I'm worried they don't feel like they need to fund me. I assume you got the same bcc email about funding?

Unclear--I PM'd you.

This does help.  Thanks. 

 

Congratulations on your many offers.  For what it is worth, I suspect that Tufts was a great choice.  Good luck on your next go round.  I am sure the extra 2 years will pay off immensely.

Thank you! I really hope so. Good luck to you as well :)

I am in a similar boat to both of you. I have other offers, but received that bcc email from CUNY saying that I am high up on the waiting list for a fellowship. I assume that means that I am the waiting list for funding, I think they assumed (correctly because I am international) I would not come without funding.

 

I had a conversation with Carol Gould and was asked to decide whether I would accept if I was admitted, I will decide that this weekend. Feel free to PM me if either of you want to know/talk more about this.

I turned down Purdue and accepted my offer at Riverside. Hope someone gets into Purdue as a result, it's a great program there!

Congrats, Monadology! Riverside is a unique department. I think you'll fit in well. 

 

I wish I could be happy for myself about you declining Purdue, but our focuses are so different that I don't think it will matter :)

If you're into Thai food at all, drive over to Redlands and hit up "Mu." It used to be called the Rama Garden. Great food. Not crazy expensive. Redlands is only a 15-20 minute shot from Riverside.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm not much for Thai, but that will be a great place to go when my girlfriend visits as she likes Thai.

Also, if you like cheap, delicious, fast mexican food, try Alberto's. Many locations in riverside. I highly recommend the Carne Asada Fries.
