Hi! So I have finally heard back from all the programs I have applied to and I was wondering if those with experience with said programs could weigh in. The most generous offers came from University of Kansas, Florida State University, Boston College, and Tulane. The basic offers are as follows: Tulane: Tuition waiver, waitlisted for stipend and TAship UKan: Tuition waiver, TAship all semesters with stipend Boston College: Tuition waiver, TAship for one semester with stipend FSU: Tuition waiver, TAship for all semesters with stipend Massachusetts native here who spent a year in New Orleans, so I am particularly attracted to New Orleans (second on that waitlist for stipend) and the cheaper cost of living available in Tally, NoLA, and UKan. I am, by trade, a bartender and a TAship is not necessarily make or break for me if I can land a part-time job working a few nights. The faculty at FSU and Tulane have the most in line with my interests. Any thoughts about the strengths of these departments and how vital an experience of TAship is if one has plans continuing to a PhD in classics? Your wisdom is dearly appreciated.

Those of you waiting on word from the MA program at Tulane, after prompting for a decision on the 24th, I heard back from them yesterday with an offer of admission and a tuition waiver. Just wanted to keep you guys in the know.

Hi! It seems like we applied to some of the same programs. I wanted to let you know I heard back from Rutgers MA (accepted, no funding) and I was curious if you heard back from Tulane? I got an email some time ago that said that decisions would be posted by the 23rd at the absolute latest and if you hadn't heard back by then, you should contact the department.

Augusto, I just recently moved to New Orleans after getting my bachelors from the University of Massachusetts and I am very interested in Tulane's program, I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to perhaps have a more in depth conversation about the program and answer a few questions? Thanks for your time and we can exchange emails if you'd like.
