Hey guys i could really use your thoughts on this!
I applied to PhD programs, and was rejected across the board, however one school offered me their MA program (no funding), obviously i will continue to do whatever i can next year and the year after to get into a PhD, but for the meantime should i accept the MA program for this coming fall, what happens if i get a crazy offer from a job in the summer and have to decline the MA offer? Do people do this? How badly does it ruin your reputation to accept an MA offer and then later decline? I also don't want to ruin anyones chances if their on the waiting list for the MA (even though this school said there was no waiting list), but i'm just curious other peoples thoughts on this???
Thanks
