Got an email last night informing me I was accepted for the SwissMAP funding, and that I will be able to choose which of the three advisers/universities I want. Pretty sure they're not going to notify anyone else until I make a choice, so I'll be quick. Beyond excited! My first PhD acceptance in two years!
