  1. I get it to be the latter. Acceptances usually means the student's reply, but not promises from the school side. The phase 'previously expected' also suggests so.
  2. Saw on GC, wonder is it true, and does it happen every year: Penn State University (PSU) “Unfortunately, we have had more acceptances and fewer funding opportunities than previously expected. As a result, it looks very unlikely that we would be able to offer you funding in the Penn State PhD program. ”
  3. I think it would be good to share with the adcom on your alternatives, and promise them that you will accept the offer once admitted.
  4. Rejections from Wisconsin-Madison and Chicago.
  5. Thank you very much for your sharing! I got the point of the visit. After I replied the department that I cannot attend the visit, they prodived the oppotunity for me to contact the current student and directors. This is very lovely.
  6. Rejected by the best school I applied. Is completely expectable but still depressed by the cruelty of reality.
  7. How messed up they are on their PhD program...
  8. For situation like this, LSE's EME would be a good choice for you - challenging, quick (one year), and placed really well. I agree on what your referees said. Taking a year of master won't harm your academic career, enrolling in a mediocre PhD programm will.
  9. Finger-crossed on the bullets. But seriously, your referees suggested you to apply only to top 10 programs? How irresponsible they are.
  10. May I ask if you received a rejection email from Chicago and LSE? I did not receive anything at the moment.
  11. Just saw that in GC Seems that I am a moron:sorrow:
  12. Stanford results are out. Punctually sending them in Monday lol EDIT: FAKE NEWS
  13. I agree that it is under-admitting in some sense, but my point is that it is nothing discriminating Chinese. It is reasonable for any school to prevent students from forming clusters in similar background, and try to build a more coherent cohort. Especially in a school as Yale who focuses on cultural exchange a lot.
