Thanks a lot for the point. I have an external scholarship of ~22k, which seems to be okay... My concern is more about the global reputation of this program out of Canada...

The best way to figure that out is to look at placement records.

Is anyone else just twiddling their thumbs, having not heard from any of the programs they applied to? Overoverover? 

 

You rang?

Basically, yeah. I have 1 implied rejection (Berkeley) and 1 god-knows-what (UCLA), but there's been nothing from 9 others. It's not a terrible situation to be in (it could be worse), but the anxious waiting is getting to me.

Basically the same. I have one official rejection and two implied, but other than that ... who knows?

I remember someone here said that UCLA keeps an internal wait-list. Do you know what's the etiquette in soliciting, and when would be a good time to do that?

Question for the UCSD admits: did your acceptance come with any information about funding?

 

Yes, it's $20K with TA duties starting first year, maximum six years of TAing, and one year of dissertation fellowship.

I feel your pain. 1 assumed rejection from Chicago, and nothing from the rest. What is even more frustrating is that this is the latest both UNC and ND have released for the past three years. I'm trying to look at this as one of those what-doesn't-kill-you-makes-you-stronger moments... but it's killing me.

Thumb-twiddling and browser-refreshing.

Just checked my app status with chicago and saw that the rejection. Hope you have better luck.

I got one of the UNC acceptances posted. Super excited!

 

Congratulations! 

 

Congrats on UNC! I just got a rejection from Brown.

 

Same here. I would much rather just receive a rejection via email than be told to suspend my disbelief and check the website.

Claiming another UNC acceptance with full financial support! This is the first school I've heard back from and I'm incredibly excited!

 

Congrats, I'm super jelly.

Same here, haven't heard from any of the 10 programs I have applied to (5 PhDs & 5 MAs).

Just saw a rejection (but no acceptances) from Miami University Ohio's masters program. How unusual is that? I wouldn't be so anxious about it, except I haven't received word from a single school so far!

Congrats to everyone who got in UNC! I wish I had applied there, but for a couple of reasons I couldn't. Anyway, I've heard good things about the program, it seems like a great place!
