Just submitted 5 out of 13 PhD applications! It's a nice start but I'm already dreading the waiting period between now and February/March. Congratulations to everyone who has applied already! We've made it this far!

wait, if you're still adding people, me too!

Does anyone know how to go about getting a TA position or appealing financial aid? Just out of curiosity...

$12,000 fellowship + $3,000 stipend received!

I was accepted to Cornell as I was walking out of a counseling appointment. Needless to say -- my anxiety has officially been alleviated!

Hey all -- I had a pretty difficult time deciding whether or not to take a year off before going to grad school, and ultimately decided to apply to a couple of MPA programs in New York (safe OSU). I've seen that most threads are about people who've already been accepted to grad programs and are making their decisions so I figured us late® applicants needed a topic of our own where we can wallow and wait together (hehe)! My info: Schools applied to for MPAs: Baruch SPA (April 1st), Cornell CIPA (rolling), OSU Glenn School (May 5th), NYU Wagner (May 1st) So, which schools did you guys apply to and do you know when you're supposed to receive a decision? Also, since we applied late®, does that mean that our chances of getting accepted are lower? Personally, I'm mostly worried about my chances at funding and graduate assistantships but I'm trying to stay optimistic!
