nevermind. i got a great offer from CUNY!

i've never heard of getting support starting in the summer. most programs admit only in the fall, some make exceptions for the spring. however, it is possible to get an adjunct position at a school over the summer, but i think it is most common to start in the fall even for this position. best of luck.

Hi, I am currently waiting for CUNY to respond with an offer. They wrote me last month that they "have high hopes to offer [me] the Chancellor's Fellowship". Then last week (in response to an e-mail) they informed me there was still "no movement". Just out of curiosity, is thee anyone out there who is holding on to this offer? And if so, does this respective person(s) plan on accepting this offer? And if not, would you mind turning down this offer at your convenience asap? This is a very stressful time. I have a couple offers that I must respond to by the 15th. I really want to go to CUNY though for I have family in the city (not that everybody doesn't have family in the city). It would be very sad to accept another offer before CUNY gets back to me. It would be even sadder to not take any other offer and find out CUNY can't fund me. And my final question... Is anyone familiar with the CUNY system enough to tell me, given they have "high hopes" to offer me the Chancellor's Fellowship, that there is some certainty I would at least get a GTF or Adjunct position? Thank you for your time. Best Regards, marco
