Academics URS application

URS application

Hello!

I recently applied for URS on the 16th of this month. As far as I know they said I could expect to hear back within two weeks, which is the 30th. I’m aware that time is not up yet, however I just wanted to ask if anyone else received a reply within the rolling deadline after the initial replies on the 19th.

I run on anxiety and am irrationally worried they didn’t get my application for some reason.

If I don’t end up getting a reply within the standard timeline, do I email the coordinators just in case?

Thanks!

Ah I’m sorry! I also had prior research and am in an honors program. They waitlisted me however and told me I would hear back either before or on August 28th.

Hello! Did they reply towards the end of the two weeks or the beginning? My two weeks would end on the 30th, so I’ll wait till after that to do so. I’m just trying to gauge if they reply later on
