It's so encouraging to hear that a lot of you turned down the more expensive out of state school! Everyone I've talked to has told me to go to the instate school as long as it is accredited and is acceptable overall. Also, I'm getting a full-ride in state, so it would have been ridiculous to accept a $60,000 pile of debt instead, but it's still so hard to turn down your dream school!
Hey you guys! I would really appreciate some insight as well. I'm in the same boat. I have been offered a full-tuition graduate assistantship plus a stipend at an instate school, but my family and friends all live in Arizona, and I'm ready for a change of pace. I keep imagining that I will regret spending almost 50k total on the out of state school, but I also absolutely love the program. I guess my question boils down to this: Do you think I will regret going to a free program that I don't prefer, or a pricey program that I am excited about? Thanks!
I think you can take them anywhere, BUT...when I visited UT Austin this summer, they specifically said that they would not accept ANY community college transcripts...which seems a little snooty to me. But, you might want to take that into consideration, and call the schools you would like to attend just to double check. Good luck! And good job commuting so far! dannng!
Hey! For anyone interested, I just checked the portal, and they posted financial aid information. I also had an email from them that was filtered to my junk folder...haha. Good luck to everyone!
Thank you so much!! This was extremely helpful. I'm actually in Washington too, but I am originally from Arizona, so I"m not too worried about the heat
Hey! I was wondering what the faculty-student relationships are like! And also how questions/disagreements are received by faculty...are there any "scary" speech teachers that people don't get along with? Thanks!
Hey! Unfortunately that thread is only people talking about being wait listed! haha I am accepted into the program, but I'm struggling with going there, because I don't know much about it! Would you mind putting me in touch with your friend? That would be so helpful!
Hey! Does anyone know if there is a Facebook group for the Fall 2015 class? I have a lot of questions still about the program (even after being offered Admission). Thanks!!
