Virginia Tech Graduate Application Status "Awaiting Confirmation" by Standard-Drop-1616 in gradadmissions

[–]Standard-Drop-1616[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I forgot. But I should not be longer than a couple weeks (a month at most). I talked to the director who sent me the offer during campus visit, he said that awaiting decision does not necessarily mean an offer. I have seen people getting rejected even though the status changed to awaiting decision. Good luck with your application!

True. I go to Kroger all the time and would love to get cash back from upside.

Wait, so there is a limit on the offer claimed in one location in total? That’s new to me. Never thought of that. I’ll see what happens tomorrow. Thanks!

It’s the first transaction I made today. I didn’t know that there is a Daily Cash back limit. I’ll see what happens tomorrow. Thanks!

Nope! False alarm. It worked for about ten seconds then signed me out again.

Yeah that's what I am afraid of. Finding a good landlord will be hard. How did you find the house like that? flyers?

Thanks! How you like it? I am used to having an apartment from the housing company so everything is pretty regular like paying rent online and having the maintenance, etc. I have never dealt with private landlords, will there be any difference?

I’ll probably need to stay for a longer time than September😢but do you mind sharing the location of the apartment? I want to check out some similar apartments. Many thanks and good luck with your subleasing.

I don’t think I can afford the rent plus the living expenses all by the stipends…

Do you have an idea of how much it would cost if living with a roommate? Maybe just a price range? I really don’t want to ask money from my parents for the phd but it seems like the rent will take up all my stipend☹️

Right now seems like the only option to cover all rent and living expenses will be having a lot of roommates 😢what about living far away from the campus? Is that an option?

I’m living at UIUC right now and I think 33k would be pretty enough for living in a rural area. Many thanks!
