Oh wow Gennia, congrats to you! You must be on top of the world. WELL DONE. I'm pleased for you but also very jealous!!! Nice to get feedback from them so quickly I must say!

I'm crossing everything waiting to hear about my department's studentship, and trying to get my head down finishing my dissertation. I'm on 5000 of 15000 words, but I have until September. Hoping to get it done early and take some time off... but... you know how things go.

(up) yay for you!

Oh wow, waiting for a phone call and never knowing when, that's just inhumane! You must have to be on your guard all the time.

I applied at the end of March at my current institution. Last year candidates knew in mid-late May, but this year I have to wait until mid-July (and I have to ask to get that information, up until a week ago I was expecting news to come through everyday since May!).

Let us know how the phone-call goes, and good luck. What is your Plan B out of interest?

:-)

Hi all,

Just wondering who had heard and who is still waiting to hear about funding to begin a PhD in Sept/Oct time.

I've heard from one (bad news, although I missed being able to apply for AHRC funding so could only apply for the department's one studenstship) and I'm still waiting on the other. To be honest it's driving me crazy. I can't plan my life, think ahead, I feel so very insecure right now.

Anyone have similar stories?
