University at Buffalo, SUNY
Doctoral Student: The process of applying has been pretty streamlined. After requesting information, an admissions counselor for the GSE reached out to me and we had a great, thorough, hour-long discussion of the program, how the process functions, advice, and more. That built a lot of confidence for me. Then, after getting the application in, I had a great interview with the GSE faculty -- even during all the COVID craziness! A number of days later, I got an email that my application had an update and the system really let my acceptance be a surprise. When I opened the online acceptance letter, digital streamers in their school colors flooded the page and it seemed fun and special, though private, which I liked. And I liked that I couldn't see from an email preview you know?
Since being accepted, I have reached out to the GSE staff, the admissions office, and IT with various questions, and responses have been prompt and helpful. I've been impressed with their communicativeness and approachability.
