The personalized email with a funding offer came today from DGS! I'm interested in why democracies breakdown with a regional focus on central and eastern Europe. Good luck to you! Last year UNC admitted in several waves and it's still really early to hear back from most universities! Positivist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that there are still letters to be sent out. Gramscian_Minivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon2017 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 One of the schools that I have applied to gave me an institutional email address. In other words, now I have an institutional email address of this university! Do universities usually do it? This seems a bit unusual to me.

One of the schools I applied to gave me a campus number a few weeks after I've applied, so I am not sure it is indicative of greater things to come. But I haven't had an email address given to me by that institution, so I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megabee Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 20 hours ago, buckinghamubadger said: @megabee, how important is funding to you? To me it's one of the most important factors to the extent that I'd be willing to go somewhere that is less prestigious in order to ensure that I'll be making a decent living wage, I really don't want to end up at one of these places that throws you 15K to live in a high cost of living area. If it's that important to you, I think it's fair game to ask now. If you'd take an offer from somewhere in spite of bad funding because it's a better program, I'd keep my mouth shut. I'm in a similar boat. I've no outside funding, so I'll be relying entirely on the stipend (much like many others on this forum). I'd be willing to reject a strong program with a poor funding offer. My partner is moving in with me after they finish their MA program in a year, and I've spent my entire life perfecting several instant ramen recipes, so I don't need an amazing offer - just a livable one. I can have a bit of wiggle room, but I draw a firm line at sharing a room with someone. I'm fine sharing an apartment with roommates, but I'm not splitting a room. I'm not an eighteen year old college freshman claiming the top bunk! I just want to afford the basics. 20 hours ago, dagnabbit said: In my experience, funding packages were sent out 2-3 weeks after formal notice of admission. I would wait to send an e-mail, as they probably don't even have details to give you at this point. If you're curious about the stipend, this is usually pretty easy to figure out - many programs list it on their website, and there is also a database that you can search. This is an amazing resource to have! Thank you so much. I think I'll follow your advice and hold off on the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possibleirphd Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Did not post in results page, but also got into Penn State. Informal email from DGS! I gave up hope, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

SDMSK Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Congrats to the admits to Penn State so far! I also applied but haven't heard from them. Studying the past years patterns of Penn State on the result board tells me that they would announce the offer on the same day and send the rejection mails through post office. Does that mean if I haven't heard from them today, I can expect a letter in my mail box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest_PoliNERD Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I can also report that I was admitted to the University of Illinois. They are shooting for a cohort of about 9, and they admitted only three Americanists and I am one. So anxiety is much less now.

We should be hearing back next week That does line up with how they've released results in the past (2/2 in 2017, 2/3 in 2016, 1/30 in 2015) so I could believe this. What seems odd to me is that I have a personal website where I showcase some research and it has analytics and I haven't had anyone view it from the Chicago area recently. Either they're very careful about hiding that, or not careful at all about going through the entire application, hahaha. Maybe both are encouraging to forum-goers Congrats on all the acceptances so far, everyone! Looking forward to joining the club (hopefully, knock on wood) in the next few weeks.

I've read through all of the faculty perspectives thread, and want to say thank you for all the help. Your insights have been helpful not only through the application process, but now through waiting on the admissions decisions! Thank you! Happy to do what I can.

Midwest_PoliNERD Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) @toad1 No this is not a transfer. I applied to UNC back during that cycle and got in and committed, but I had a heath crisis that, on doctor's advice, forced me to withdraw and return home. So I had to go through the process again. U of I is really close to where I live - about 50 miles away - so applying there made sense. Also from what the DGS told me over the phone, they have more of a political behavior/psychology bent than I originally thought. So that is where I am. Just ignore that past stuff.
