Email invite for preliminary skype interview w/ POI in cognition stream.

congrats to the meta gl

1 publication (1st author), 1 presentation, teaching inexperience in undergrad and graduate level classes, great recommendations, average GRE. Letter attached as part of updated application portal. Form letter - stressed competitive pool, small group of admits, limited funding...

Offered off the waitlist. Deciding between here and one other program. Stipend 20,200 (9 month) and 2k for summer. Health insurance covered by funding package.

I can’t believe it!! I’m so excited!! Accepted 4/10/19 off the waitlist. Was notified weeks before that it was unlikely I’d get a spot, but I did! Cannot wait to begin my career in research. Best of luck to everyone. Sometimes, the unexpected does happen :)

Email from graduate college. Accepted with four years of guaranteed funding (program is designed for four years). Very likely to accept.

Timeline not typical. Was told they had misplaced my application, just realized that, and now want to invite me to interview.

Email to check portal. Very relieved that this wasn't a delayed surprise acceptance, since I accepted another offer a few days ago :)

Emailed POI to check on status. He replied admissions process is ongoing but they've sent out first round of offer. Said I am on waiting list at this point and he hopes to be able offer in a few weeks after they hear from the first round of offers.

Verbal acceptance from PI over email, more formal offer coming soon!
