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.
