The standard package is $25,000 for five years on top of tuition, etc. I’m also nominated for a school wide funding package, so that could be the reason why I’ve received funding information. Just chiming in to say - congrats! But that is definitely not the standard package at UT.

Technically, the Grad Admissions Office is right: acceptances/rejections are not official until early March, when offers are posted on portals, etc. This is because some departments have waiting lists, and there are random housekeeping issues/loose ends that need to be tied up/other technicalities I neither know nor understand nor care to, and they can't definitively tell you it's over—because they themselves don't know—until that date. So I'd say a POI is your best bet for the moment. 3 hours ago, deutsch1997bw said: Yeah, I would also only recommend doing this if you've corresponded with him or her before. Thanks both of you. Looks like I'll just be waiting it out. I'd say there is only a very small chance that I would be accepted there anyway.

CandyCanes Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Joining the Stanford rejects train... They couldn't even be bothered to send an email, I guess.
Wongs Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 usc waitlisted. all Admission acceptance have been sent according to the email. good luck please reject if you have better offer. This is my top choice
buckinghamubadger Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Waitlisted at USC too. Looks like I'm almost certainly going to Notre Dame, but maybe the waitlists might change that. And thus, the non-waitlist portion of my cycle ends: Accepted: Notre Dame, UC Irvine, Colorado, Missouri Waitlisted: USC, WashU-STL, Brandeis Rejected: Michigan, Princeton, Univ of Washington

Throwaway_polisci Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 What in the world, got a snail mail accept from MIT! Literally radio silence from the department or POI up to now. Hamb, devpolicy, sbs2018 and 1 other 4

Congratulations!! Also, if you don't mind my asking, are you a domestic or international applicant?

I live in the Northeastern corridor and it looks like it was super express, so presumably the package got here before they had the chance to reach out via email.
