Graduate School Admission Results

TPB: Congrats. Do you think that only a few admitted students are received funding emails? Have anyone received any contact from Vickie Flecher or professor Boragan Aruoba regarding the waiting list? Too silent, is it normal?

Declined the offer three days ago. Good luck to the wait listed guys!

Dear XXX, We are reaching out to see if you are still interested in a financial offer from our department. This is not a guarantee of an offer. We are preparing to make second round offers and would like to expedite the process by ruling out students who have already committed to other universities. If you are still interested in being considered, please email me back as soon as possible. Thank you. I've turned down the consideration as I already accepted an offer at NYU. So, best of luck to those awaiting a positive decision

Guess the research field is not relating to my years of experience. Rejection is within the expectation.

Got the funded email last night. Excited.

1.5 years research, part of it as a post bacc research assistant. I already pretty much knew I was out, I think some of the big schools just waited til everything was in order to send out rejections (Wisconsin being a notable exception). Better luck nexy year! (I hope :])

Have any admitted people received any updates about their funding? Are they sending out fully funded offers recently? Thanks!

At last. The way they delayed sending rejections has seriously bothered me. This was the last decision I was expecting, so my watch has ended. Only one admission out of nine applications, all in physics.

Email to check the portal

It's about time. I feel bad being so negative, but this whole process has left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Please reject the offer, if you're not planning to attend UMD

Waitlisted for funding. I haven't heard of any changes on financial aid

Accepted contingent on finding an advisor and funding

Has anyone admitted to either History or Library Science programs received any information on Financial offers?

TPB: I am keeping offers from BC and Indiana. I gave up UW Foster simply because of location preference (I'd like to stay in the mid or east, for personal reasons). I think Foster is a great choice as it has a great group of faculty members, and their placement has been on the rise. Hope this helps!

TPB: sorry actually maryland's funding has not been confirmed, at least not in my case. The official letter is not a sign of funding being secured. what a weird year.

Anyone off the priority waitlist? Haven't heard anything from umd.

TPB: Thanks so much for your quick response? One more question: Would you mind telling me which offer you choose to keep right now? and the reasons to give up UW? Thanks so much!

TPB: the offer I received from UW Foster has annual stipend of 35K (base salary + fellowships), which seems to be comparable to the stipend from Maryland. Best of luck!

TPB: Thanks for sharing information. I have sent an email to UW last week to update my status, but haven't received their response yet. I hope it's not a bad signal. I will decline my Maryland offer immediately if I have better choice. Would you mind telling me the funding package of UW-Foster? Thanks a lot!
