No, just Sussex - it was my dream project and team, so I'm really hoping that it is meant to be!

Hey 🙂 Just wondering if you had any news, and if so, after how many weeks? I've been waiting 6 weeks now and no news yet. Fingers crossed for us both!

Thanks for providing the update!!!I'm sorry to hear this that but trust that the right phd is out there for you and I'm sure you will succeed!!!

I'm assuming my application is also unsuccessful since I didn't hear back from them either

Maybe drop the relevant school an email to enquire when decisions might be made and shared? Fingers crossed for you though, hopefully you'll get news soon! Thanks so much, and wishing you every success in your PhD! :smile:

I think we aren't admitted hence no response. Because it won't take so long to hear back

Thanks!!
Application has been rejected I'm sure but I don't mind. I got an offer from UCL and SOAS so it's OK.
I did visit Sussex and didn't like the ambience and vibe of the university at all so it's not a loss
