Status and faculty names on this page are read from the program’s own website and re-checked through the admissions season. Where the program publishes a sentence announcing who is accepting, that sentence is quoted above rather than summarised. The date beside each section is when we last read it — if you are deciding where to apply, confirm against the program page before you rely on it.
