I feel a bit sad, though the outcome was not entirely unexpected, as my English test score was slightly below the program’s preferred range. I also wanted to share a general thought for future applicants. I applied to the program to further develop the educational dimension of my doctoral research in design education. From the profiles of admitted students, however, I have the impression that the program tends to favor applicants with entrepreneurial or industry-oriented trajectories. As my work is primarily situated in academia, I assume this may have influenced the outcome of my application. Anyway, congratulations to everyone who was admitted :)

75% scholarship. Probably not enough unfortunately.

Full tuition.

100% tuition coverage!!!!

Just wondering — has anyone received an unofficial offer yet?

I wrote a great writing sample on Extra Ecclesiam Nullas Salus. Basically what I wrote is too apostolic and not nondenominational so they rejected me. The same essay was approved by Boston College CSTM, and granted me with full scholarship. L to HDS, liberal institution.

got tired of waiting lol emailed the department this afternoon & didn't get a response but found that a rejection letter was posted in my portal. i suspect they have the decisions ready they just haven't posted them ????‍♂️. 1a/1w/4r/1p subfield: german modernism

Expected rejection. I hadn't heard any news and had no interview.

YAY, waiting to hear back on aid

Checked GSD portal. 3 years of research/field experience with pretty good undergrad. Yeah this was my top choice.. congrats to those of you who got it!
