  1. Thanks, everyone! Great and helpful advice I needed to hear!
  2. Comebackzinc, Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it, and I definitely asked you to tell me my business so no worries! I think you're right. I definitely think you're right. I've been able to connect with faculty, get great letters, and do good work at my undergrad (which is not hella prestigious, so the fact that I can get into Georgetown from it says a lot about where I'll be able to get into from Kansas), so I think I'll be able to pull it off at Kansas too. I had a feeling this would be the response I'd get, and I need to hear it. I'm waiting to hear from my advisor, but I'm 99% I'll turn down the offer. In the meantime, I'm just going to pat my failed out of high school former slacker self on the back for getting into freaking Georgetown even if I can't afford to go there!
  3. Yes, this is the way I'm leaning too. But God the excitement is getting the best of me. Thanks for the advice!
  4. I don't know what to do! I was just accepted to Georgetown's MA program with no funding, but the office suggests that I will be able to lessen my costs somehow. I have another offer, which I've already accepted, at U of Kansas for a fully funded MA with a 2/2 teaching load and a stipend of 13,000/yr. It would prob take me 3 years to complete. The thing is, Georgetown gets people into incredible programs. I really don't know what to do. Georgetown just sounds so fabulous.
  5. I'm trying to find housing via Craig's list right now. :/ I'll be excited to meet you!!
  6. I think they mean they'll be sending out rejections in the mail.
  7. University of Kansas for my MA. I'm so excited.
  8. I'm just assuming I'm not in. They really need to get their act together. This is really inconsiderate.
  9. If I were you, I'd take the one that costs less. I think if you're persistant, you can get the attention you need from the faculty. I've certainly had that experience at my undergrad, where the professors have both masters and PhD students as well. Plus, it's freaking COLUMBIA! But is there a thesis option at Columbia? You'll need a good writing sample for Phd apps.
  10. I didn't apply to any schools that don't fund their MAs. South Carolina funds kind of crapily the first year (I have a fellowship offer, but that's just eh...), Nebraska and Kansas both offer awesome funding. I don't know what your speciality is, but Kansas is kind of a dream for me because of their 19th-Century American people.
  11. intextrovert: your comments make me feel so much better (the all working together part)
