Ikari Gendo Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 To my knowledge, it was submitted during the night (I guess 04:00 or 05:00 AM) GMT +3 which is around 6 or 7:00 PM there. A bit suspicious I'd say. *mystery intensifies* Dysexlia 1
cogsguy Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I don't think it was trolling because I was accepted yesterday. My guess is they just started sending out offers?
modalities Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Accepted into Memphis but waitlisted for funding. Won't hear back until 2nd-3rd week of April. Edited March 9, 2017 by postmodernturn

Terrydong Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Yesterday I received an offer from Arizona, however, it says 'We are currently unable to offer you funding, although should funding become available in the future we will let you know.' Anyone knows what that means? Does that mean I probably have to seek support myself? Is there anyone in the same situation with me? (I'm an international student showing no sign of being a qualified teaching assisant. Is it the reason for not offering me a fund?)

That could mean you're waitlisted for funding, or that after matriculating you may be considered next year? I'm thinking the former is more likely because the latter wasn't spelled out.

I hope what you said is true...although it seems that this kind of situation is rare for PhD offers
ThatDeleuzeGuy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Has anyone heard back from Utah or South Florida yet?

Or there's been word that some schools don't even have their funding lined up yet so they might have accepted you but are waiting to hear back from the school if there is more funding to be had.

I also heard that for schools like Chicago which has a large program, they sometimes would admit students without giving them funding. Not sure whether it is true. Hope Arizona is not like this! Anyone thinks that it will hurt if @Terrydong asks Arizona to clarify?

TwoTimesTolstoy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Does anybody have any ideas regarding UCR? I haven't heard of any waitlists or rejections, only the two fellowship acceptances (perhaps they had a university-wide deadline to meet and so made fellowship offers early?). Dialectica 1

zacstu Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 "Relatively" high on funding wait list for VTech. Going to be declining a funded PhD offer for this if I get funding (don't want to do a PhD yet, as I might instead continue in my original discipline of physics), so please decline soon if you're not going!
