  1. The program is barely funded. It's not a good program at all- in fact I know it's considered a safety school, however bc of my low gpa and the fact that it took me 10 years to get my bachelors, it is my only option. The only reason I got in is bc I have killer GRE scores. I will be bartending, until I get my internship which helps pay for my tuition and I will throw myself into that. I'm also doing it bc its important for me to explore a big city while I get my doctorate. I know that the majority of ppl here wouldn't even consider a nonfunded program where they would be required to work, but my situation is different. I feel anxious bc I don't know how soon I need to worry about research, I don't have an idea about what I want to focus on, and it makes me feel better knowing that I at least have my first year to take classes and learn more before having to decide. Thank u for your response! And I have asked to get in touch with a present grad student, but they haven't contacted me back yet. It's been a couple weeks--I know...another red flag.
  2. The ph.d. Program I was accepted into states that its an average of 6-7 years to graduate, I'm just wondering about the approx. timeline. Apparently all students take only 3 classes per semester, and no summer classes, and they all have part-time jobs. I think that there is no masters thesis requirement, and I can opt to do an internship. So for the first year, do I pretty much just take my 6 classes and try to learn more about the field and refine what my interests are? During the second year do I start applying for internships? I'm excited for my 6-7 year commitment but I'm also apprehensive about how much I don't know yet.
  3. Does anyone else have an IIT acceptance and plan on attending? It's my only phd acceptance and I want to talk it out a bit
  4. I've been researching iit more in depth since I was accepted on the 5th, and it really seems like it may not be worth it. I did research the program prior to applying, but I just didn't know where to look apparently. The phd program is 96 credit hours, each credit hour is $1140, talking about 110,000 prior to insurance, fees, books, cost of living, etc. It looks like there's no funding. For those of you that know anything about IIT, could you tell me if it is a correct summation to say that this is a school for applicants who don't have strong apps and thus have to resort to paying for their phd? I was also accepted into a masters io program where I live now, however I would only receive half tuition waiver, still end up paying about 16k for my masters, would it be worth it? If I did get my masters first, is it correct that I wouldn't be able to transfer any of those credits into whichever phd program I was accepted into afterwards?
  5. I also applied to this program and haven't heard anything. Maybe today. How long ago did you get the email confirming your application was complete? They emailed me on Feb 22 & said it would be a "few weeks". Just wondering what the timeline was for you.
  6. Got accepted into the IIT phd program via email just now!
  7. Just got my west florida masters acceptance, i also applied to phd programs at DePaul and iit. depaul said to wait 2 weeks when I called the office yesterday, but I noticed that someone was either accepted or waitlisted back on feb 19th, with a comment stating there were only 3 slots for 106 applicants. Guess I can still hope for the best regarding depaul?
