PerpetualApplicant No More Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 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.

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps someone! 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. stressedout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm worried they don't feel like they need to fund me. I assume you got the same bcc email about funding? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friend of frege Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Turned down Cornell, Pitt, and UT. Good luck. A surfeit of riches. Very well done! Hopefully the those rejections will trickle down to other schools for many of us. I'm waiting for funding from Syracuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monadology Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 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.

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.

Many locations in riverside. I highly recommend the Carne Asada Fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
