without funding for the first year

I'm so sad……

"Funding waitlist". Accpeted but since Im out of state I have to hope one of the 2 in state students for my POI rejects for funding. Fingers crossed.

Because of the timing of responses for grad schools and students, this whole thing can get messy, so please keep the following in mind: 1) Non-funded offers can be rescinded at any time, so you may want to accept before 4/15 and then if you get an offer afterward that you want to accept, contact the first school for an official "release" (no school wants you if you don't want to be there, and it will inconvenience them, but this is the nature of the system, they will understand); and 2) if you've received a *funded* offer, you cannot be forced to respond before 4/15 (provided the school is participating in the Council of Graduate Schools) and they cannot withdraw a funded offer before then. You have until 4/15 to resign from your funded acceptance if you choose another program. After 4/15, again, you need to be officially released from the offer, so contact the school. Keep in mind that offers will be made after 4/15 as the majority of students will have decided by then, but the chances of funded are generally decreased. I wish everyone the best.

Spoke with advisor in person in February and given an informal offer, unofficial department email from chair came in March, then official e-application response a few days later. Officially accepted fully funded GTA offer. I've been taking classes here P/T for the last year looking for a project and funding (I'm *not* interested petroleum, so that will limit your options here if studying Geology).

Wait-listed until the second round, which from the email sounds like it will happen after April 15th (second round offers will occur if students decline).

Just accepted an offer from another program that was a better fit so no biggie.

not accepted, official notice might be sent next week

POI said I would have been accepted but there is no funding available due to some cuts.

unofficially not accepted. official notification to be sent out next week. Glad I asked earlier.

Financial assistance not available for faculty of Science, for this year.

Actually really ok with this - there was only person person I was interested in working with and even that wasn't a perfect match. Good luck everyone! 3 more schools to hear from!

Informally told by email that first round decisions were made I'm not on a further wait list with my POI.

no funding :(
