accepted university of louisville rhet/comp. declined UNCG, south carolina, and florida state. good luck, ya'll!

snail mail a letter to the DGS at each school, thanking them for considering your app, and letting them know that their program is one of your top choices. in the letter, be sure to maintain a grateful disposition for your placement on the wait-list, and include all your contact info in the case there is something you might be able to do to improve your chances of receiving an offer. i tried this at a couple of schools and received personalized emails from each DGS, thanking me for the letter, and telling me that there is a very good chance they will make an offer to me by mid-april. good luck!

Ahhh, you applied to UTC. My M.A. alma mater. Chattanooga is an amazing city!

it sure did. sounds like Dr. Myers will call if we are eligible for funding. if not, we should receive a letter sometime this week. s i g h . . . you're right; it's all "nonsense."

wow. i don't check this thread at all over the weekend, but then I log in this morning only to find a bunch of hatin'. apparently stress levels are high around this time of the application season -- who knew? so, anyone else heard about funding? because i have not. i'm pretty sure it will take my letter a bit longer to reach me, since i'm several states away.

if you're classified as "out of state," does this necessarily mean that there is no tuition waiver? for some reason i didn't make that assumption. this is hella irritating...

I've heard from two of the five schools I applied to that decisions will be sent out the first week of March -- not sure if this is standard for most programs.
