    It won't hurt you to tell, since the information will be out there soon enough on department websites.
  2. GradSchoolTruther
    You don't need to include the years of attendance on a CV. The year the degree was awarded is good enough.

    If you make any profit as a political science grad student, that would be a first.

    Why can't you take the position and apply for 2017? It's not as if you're committing to leaving to go back for a Ph.D. at this point.

    I would change the attitude of working for free. You are devaluing your skills.
  7. GradSchoolTruther
    The resolution only applies to funding and not admissions.
  8. GradSchoolTruther
    Depends if you're being funded or not. I would not start a Ph.D. program if I had to pay for it unless I was pretty darn sure I wanted a Ph.D.

    An Ed.D. is a professional degree, so you'll need that master's. Master's programs in education are usually geared towards those who are working in the field. Look at the times the classes are offered for a guess as to what the focus is. If all the classes are in the evening, count on the program being geared towards professionals.

    If a department is only offering $6,500 (yr?), how are you going to get by?

    The OP and others are being sold on the notion that a graduate degree will lead to a magical new career. Wondering why the bachelor's degree wasn't good enough?
  12. GradSchoolTruther
    Which one do you think is better? A lot of variables here.
  13. GradSchoolTruther
    So you would enroll without funding? Quite a statement to make!
  14. GradSchoolTruther
    An online master's doesn't command much respect in the professional world, and hardly any in the academic world.
  15. GradSchoolTruther
    You'll need to get over that fear. Almost every academic job requires teaching, so getting experience under your belt is important.

    You also don't need to be a clone of your professor. The advisor needs to have a solid understanding of the sub-field, but research focus may vary.
  17. GradSchoolTruther
    That means you should have at most, one offer to decide on, right?
  18. GradSchoolTruther
    It's your decision. These decisions aren't always easy. At least you got your master's somewhere else, so it isn't that bad to stay.

    Graduate students are also treated differently than undergraduate students. You are making it seem that it's such an extra chore to email a paper. In reality, it's a task that would take less than five minutes.
  20. GradSchoolTruther
    Email the department.

    Depends on the university. Some charge per credit hour, some offer a full tuition rate that includes taking up to a certain amount of credit hours per semester.
  22. GradSchoolTruther
    I am sorry for your struggles. However, it seems as if you are being manipulative toward faculty. You aren't "owed," nor do you deserve certain grades. Graduate programs aren't for everyone.
  23. GradSchoolTruther
    You'll never pay those loans back at $100/month, which is not a large sum. Better hope forgiveness is still around in 20 years. As for "it was worth it," why is that, besides you have a degree?
  24. GradSchoolTruther
    If you're not funded, you are a second-class student. Research opportunities tend to go to funded students. As for being the academic nexus of progressive social and political thought, it really isn't if it's relying on people with some wealth to attend the program.
  25. GradSchoolTruther
    Reapplying to the same school might not be the best choice. If they aren't going to fund you now, what will change in the future?
