I am reading this forum since three years with a lot of excitement and joy (especially when someone got an acceptance after a long wait). For the first time, I have a question for people who have more experience: I am last year MA student in a funded program but because of a shift in my interest and maybe because of low self-esteem I applied to a one-year MA again. However, I received an e-mail from the program director, telling that they were currently assessing my application and noted that I am already in an MA program and that my referees wrote that I am suitable for PhD. They ask me if I intend to apply for the MA or for the Ph.D. I don't know how to answer and what this should mean. I guess if they didn't have any intention to let me in one of their programs, they wouldn't bother to ask me for clarification, but I can't be sure and really don't know how to answer. I have seen in this forum that some programs reject Ph.D. applicants but offer MA instead and I wonder if it is the opposite in this case? Any guesses?
