Rather discouraging

Very impersonal (started with "Hello." and did not include my name) stock email from the department administrator informing me of the result.

They will make their final decision by this Friday (12/17).

e-mail from Program Director - letter to follow

Checked the portal after seeing TPB had received a decision letter since I never received an email. I already accepted a PhD offer, and with everything going on at Penn, I would have declined anyway.

5 months of nail biting and radio silence for a generic rejection letter. Didn't even get an email to check my portal, so I'm lucky I checked it on my own. Best of luck to my fellow applicants!

Accepted and offered a 75% scholarship, so that makes it a no-brainer for me. Very excited to start in the fall!

Received letter from Central Grad Admin (4/19) and personal note from Chair (4/20). very happy.

Accepted after being rejected from a different PhD Program at Columbia (Architecture). Will decline.

To the person asking about UPenn's MA in Anthropology, the same exact thing is happening to me right now. I applied and hadn't heard anything, even though on the FAQ portion of the website it says that we should know early March. I've reached out to their grad coordinator and department coordinator twice now and they haven't responded at all, and I had to accept another offer because of the deadlines.

Gonna decline soon. Good luck!

Ignore waitlist TTPB: I have emailed the graduate coordinator to no avail. Am considering giving them a call, but that might seem too forward or rude? But they are also very late.... please let me know if you get in contact with the program and you get a response!

I'm really excited! My only concern is there's nothing in the acceptance letter about funding. Does anyone know if scholarship/funding is announced separately or is it likely I just didn't get anything?

Accepted off the waitlist. The BU Graduate Medical Sciences Admissions emailed at the beginning of Feb saying they'd have an answer within two weeks. I eventually inquired mid-March and was told I was on a waitlist. I've declined. 2a/3r/0p.
