E-mail from department chair via secretary. Same e-mail as the other Iowa posters, I believe; hints at a decent possibility of getting in off the wait list. If you've been accepted and are not going to attend, please let them know -- this is my only shot left at a PhD program. Thank you! :-)

funding decision will be made in mid April

"With mixed feelings, though genuine congratulations, I am writing to inform you that the Graduate Admissions Committee was very seriously impressed with your application," But. . .

Scanned PDF. Nothing about applicant numbers or how many admissions, but referred to 'current budget crisis' and an ever-smaller cohort size.

No financial aids.

No word on funding... does anyone know when how much funding they usually give, or when they let us know?

A email from the chair of Graduate Admissions Committee came in and said I was in! It's a long journey and finally end it!

Letter from the graduate school... the only information provided was about vaccination requirements!

They have no money and without the Dean's Fellowship (highly competitive), there is little they can offer by way of funding.

3rd reject!

To the poster abt Iowa below, my application status has been updated to "hold", what does that mean?? very confusing

Heard in person from the AdCom chair before via e-mail. Letter and financial information to follow. The deadline was just today - I didn't even think that my supporting documents had arrived yet!
