Thank you, it's been going great! I have decided to attend IU, but I can understand why you wouldn't. I wish you the best of luck wherever you decided to go!
 

Ahh that seems so frustrating! But there's still hope that people declined their spots and something opens up! I'm rooting for you!
An update on my situation, since I previously talked about it in this thread: I did get accepted off the waitlist at UW, but I also received full funding from IU. I ended up accepting IU's offer since it was a much better fit for me than UW was (I was just blinded by the prospect of living in Seattle). Both of these offers happened at the last second so unlike most people I had very little time to ultimately decide. If anyone else is going to IU, message me! I'd love to chat! Also looking for a roommate  

I appreciate both of your responses. Their stipends were comparable based on the COL in each area. I was able to get clarification today about the length of the time guaranteed and my funding source is basically renewable every semester since it entails maintaining a website, so I am no longer worried about the length of funding. Ultimately, IU is a much better fit for me, so despite my previous comments, I accepted my offer at IU.
Thanks so much for your help! And @accidental_philologist, I will definitely PM you with questions!

Welp, I just got rejected from my top choice and the only other program I interviewed with. I'm assuming it's gonna be rejections everywhere else now. This was a huge waste of time and money. I wish you all luck, I'm out

I'm sorry for the way my post came off, I had literally just seen the rejection and was feeling it pretty hard. I should've been more mindful. I didn't necessarily believe I'd get into my top choice, but since I only got 2 interviews, I was hoping for a funded offer from them. I am happy I got into Indiana, but without funding I can't go, so it feels like another rejection, you know?  But you're right, I need to not take it so personally.
I've read your other posts in this thread and I really admire your tenacity in the face of rejections. You're definitely a huge inspiration and I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post! I'm rooting for you!
