Notes
Got a master’s offer. Not surprising because the quota of PhD program at SBU should be minimal (probably only 10 students per year?), and I heard that only a few MS students who get very high GPAs during their master’s can get into the PhD program (some of the professors also complain that they don’t understand the admission process because students who are highly qualified for PhD programs can only be admitted into a Ms program and pay for their study and fight for an uncertain future). I’m not sure how difficult to get a master offer from SBU but this might not be a good choice if you can also get an offer from Brown, because Brown is an ivy league school and there should be more possibilities to get into PhD program there (I’m not sure). Anyway, good luck to everyone!
