TTPB, thanks for the note. And I'll take this into consideration when deciding my own choice. The good news is, it seems a lot of people are gonna reject their offers anyway, as they're already mentally/emotionally committed to other schools (including me). So no worries! I strongly believe you will get in!! (let us know if you do though, lol! would be happy to hear that! :) )

Ignore waitlist. Did anyone hear anything from this school? I emailed grad chair and he said they were still considering my application and wait to hear from them by mid March. It's already April and I didn't hear anything from them.

Ignore waitlist. TPB: Same situation here. I have emailed them few times and they said my application is still under review and apologized for the delay in results. Did anyone get offer letter from this school? UCR is my top choice and can't move on with other offers until I get a decision from there 😩

Ignore Interview status! Has anyone heard back from this school? I'm not seeing anywhere near as many entries on here as the previous years for UCR. They haven't responded to a single email since applications were due so I'm curious.

Hep-ex. To any students reading this in the future... Apply to a varied ranking of schools. I was surprisingly accepted into my reach schools, ones that I almost did not apply to and was rejected by schools that I thought I had a better chance of getting into.

TTPB! Vanderbilt is my last shot at a PhD this round!! Please please please if you have similar/equivalent offers that you would be happy with consider them! They said Im on a short waitlist! I obviously want you to look out for yourself first so if you are a perfect fit, take it absolutely! But if it doesn't make a difference please consider rejecting it♥️

This was my last result. I have emailed professor for multiple times but anyhow I got rejected. I had applied to 15 schools and admitted from 3. I mostly applied for top 10-30 schools. Two out of three schools were top 50 schools, one was top 30. I selected the latter school. The professor contacted me and I was happy enough the professor that I have heard about. I was surprised that even the student who had undergrad at that school could be rejected with major GPA 3.9. It could have been better if we could all chat rather than just writing the result. Thank you for all the students who had posted their results. Congratulations for the students who got admitted and I don't know what to say for the students who got all rejected. But, I will be back if I get kicked out of school. It was a long journey(around 3 months) and I wish everyone good luck. My final advice for students : Apply many as much as possible rather than regret. If I wouldn't have applied for top 10-20 schools, then I could regretted for my whole grad school year. Because I got all rejected form top 10-20 schools, I am so happy that this is my top university for me. Good luck for all and thank you again.
