All of the support during this arduous process would have been welcomed! I have already been accepted at the University of Georgia - full tuition, assistantship, and stipend. I have an interview at University of Houston tomorrow ?. Denied from UT- Austin. Haven’t heard anything from any of my other schools, which is starting to make me nervous. I applied to a LOT of schools. UMich, UNC-CH, UCLA, USC, ASU, Fordham, FSU (UMich and USC seem to have already made decisions so I’m just waiting on confirmation of rejection). Congratulations! Let us know how the interview goes! I have one next month that I’m nervous about so any insight on your experience would be greatly appreciated on my end!

I think I am about to take up the offer. Ahh! No way! You are going to OSU!? I am most likely going to accept as well. Just waiting to hear back from one school. And Congrats to you as well!

I don't think many people are going to decline their acceptance to WashU, but I am sure it's happened. Dude, don't give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope that UT-Austin would get me off the waitlist... However, I have spoken with OSU's faculty and current students. They have been so warm and welcoming to me, which makes me tend so much more to accept it than merely just wait anxiously for a hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same! Gotta love that mid-west hospitality! Did you hear anything back from UT Austin? The last time I emailed was when the email first went out, inquiring if the waitlist was ranked. Sherry said it wasn't yet. Just heard from U of Denver that I have been invited for an interview! Good news finally rolling in! Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate the stipend. The student I spoke with said that a lot of them just string together side hustles such as grading for professors, etc. But, still the cost of living is so high there!

I have many friends in the city and the cost of living has been going up a lot while the stipend at university of Denver remains unchanged. 15k is not hardly enough to pay for a studio per year there.

Good news finally rolling in! Woohoo! Congrats! You will definitely hear from more schools with good news! I also just received the official offer package from U of Maryland at Baltimore. Their package is very attractive (actually it is the highest I have had so far), but the safety issue is a major concern. No updates from UT-Austin yet.
