Considering deferring until next year to save money. Yes? No?
-
Depends. First, will they let you defer? Second, do you have a job right now that you could keep for another year? Third, would the amount that you're able to save over the next year make a significant difference in your finances afterward? If the answer is yes to those three, then it might be worth deferring.

Let's put it this way: the pounds will fly off since I won't be able to afford food.

Hey I got my decision too (denied) so she should hear soon. Storeys are you still planning on going?
-
That's...not good news.

Yeah, Lincoln Park is ridiculous. I found some reasonably priced places in Lakeview. I don't know anyone, so I'd probably be living by myself in a tiny studio. Good transportation is a must because I think I'm leaving my car in Texas :[ I heard Wrigleyville was doable if you don't mind game day noise. I'm going to look at Andersonville since it seems pretty cool. Have you visited the campus, yet?
-
Yay! I'm glad to kind of know other people who are going. Are you guys looking for a place to live yet? If so, where? PS Sorry for the late reply--I was out of town.

NYU M.S. Publishing vs. Newhouse PR/Advertising
beelz replied to writerwill's topic in Decisions, Decisions
I know it has a pretty good reputation. I'm not sure about how competitive it is, though. -
Yeah, I'm still waiting on a school and for assistantships. Do you really think they meant mid-April? I just want to know. But, the more I look at it, the more I like it.

Hey! I'm most likely going to DePaul this fall. Is anyone else going...or is already going? Let me know!

NYU M.S. Publishing vs. Newhouse PR/Advertising
beelz replied to writerwill's topic in Decisions, Decisions
Well I don't know about Syracuse, but I just got accepted to NYU M.S. Publishing. I applied because I know members of the faculty have worked in the industry and have good connections with publishing houses in New York City. I'm sure working with the program's faculty will give you a boost into the publishing industry. I guess it depends on where you want to focus your studies. I know you aren't decided between publishing and PR, but once you make that decision then the rest may be easier. -

This. I've been watching footage and it gets more and more horrifying. -
"Feeling Good" by Muse oor "Feliz de Novo" by Kaleidescopo (not sure what the song's about as it's in Spanish, but it's just sooooo happy.)

I'm quite fond of my HP Pavilion.

Reviewed for assistantship but no admission decision?
beelz replied to beelz's topic in Waiting it Out
Thank you! So excited! -
Hey! I saw that you went to DePaul for undergrad, and I am seriously considering going there for grad school this fall. Can you offer some suggestions for where to live? What areas are safest? How did you like DePaul?

Reviewed for assistantship but no admission decision?
beelz replied to beelz's topic in Waiting it Out
I think I'll call. What should I say? -
I got an email from a school saying that they are reviewing me for an assistantship, but I have yet to receive an admission decision. Is this good news? Should I call, email, wait? What should I say? I am kind of freaking out. Help and advice would be appreciated. Thanks! PS I checked the website thing and I now have a To Do: my Final Transcript. ?????

post here if one of your programs has started contacting...

Brandeis MA English. I've only seen one, but it's enough to make me lose my mind. -
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bitter when a friend from school got some acceptances and I haven't heard anything yet. But that's only because she's kind of a cow, and I don't really like her. I'm always super happy for my friends (you know, the ones I like) even if it turns up the anxiety haha. I will post something if I get an acceptance. Maybe something like "beelz got into grad school? *dies*. But I'd definitely call everyone close to me, if only to just keep screaming.

What's the story behind your avatar or username?
beelz replied to katerific's topic in Waiting it Out

I concur

Uncertainty of gradschool future is farting on my strategies to find a job
beelz replied to Bonkers's topic in Waiting it Out
Ugh, yes! I have a second interview for a job on Monday. It's a full time job + benefits and I'm pretty much a receptionist. If you get offered the job, will you accept it? -
Best Case Scenario: I get fully funded for an MA program with an assistantship/fellowship/blessing from above. Then I graduate with honors, then I get a fabulous job, then I live happily ever after Worst Case Scenario: All around rejection. I move to Dallas and become Pam from The Office. Or I get married and become a housewife.
