Berkeley was really just my top choice initially, although that changed over the course of the application season. Do you think you’ll accept their offer? It seems that way. I am waiting to hear about my fellowship results. I am 75% sure I will accept it. I don't know if I'll get into Amherst or what their funding is like, but yeah. Berekely seems like the one for me. Sorry about it, but you got an offer elsewhere. Are you an international applicant or do you just live abroad? I am shocked by the number of socio rejections as so many people posted interviews.

Both places sound like really great options! Yes, thanks... I have a really great offer from UC San Diego, and my prospective advisor there seems to be an amazing mentor! I was also interviewed by MIT and Virginia (results will be out soon I hope!), and I’m still waiting on NYU and Northwestern. I’m from the Philippines, but I have a Master’s from a US university in Hungary. This process has been such a huge emotional roller coaster! waltzforzizi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Skyped with mine several months before the deadline, and I believe the poster I mentioned interviewed before the deadline too. Hopefully, we will hear soon.......!!!.....

Reading old threads on this site with info about my prospective schools... watching welcome videos of those schools on Youtube... stalking POIs online... refreshing my inbox and the results board 2936426 times a day... Oh you asked what I do to distract myself. Alas I've tried over and over and failed every time.

phyanth Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Y'all, I did an impatient thing. I couldn't wait any longer I just went ahead and e-mailed my POIs at the schools I hadn't heard from, briefly reiterating my interest in the program and asking for a timeline on when to expect a decision. Ask and ye shall receive, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they traditionally do interviews, then most likely yes. If they don’t, no. I was accepted recently without an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltzforzizi Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 @clarkdean what do you mean welcome videos? Like campus visit day vlog or like a welcome to... here is our main building? I haven't thought of doing that. I currently live in Korea and will miss out on the welcome day. Good luck with your other schools! It seems like your background would give you an edge. Sorry, @Archaeodan that's terrible news :(. I hope you can find something else soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't finish my term because my POI wants me to come on fieldwork this summer, so I wanted to let my bosses know so they won't be sad/angry/surprised when I only can do 8 months. BUT they decided instead that since I can't do 12, they'll cut their losses and fire me after 4. So like...that's fun. I've...definitely worked in better work environments.

So I'm watching video clips of universities. Most are actually more of promotional videos than welcome videos.
