I've submitted my applications for Spring.  Wishing everyone the best of luck.

When I visited back in February, the dean told us they were ALA accredited.  I know it says they are conditionally accredited on the ALA website.  You can contact admissions if you have real questions about it.

Your list is similar to mine.  I was at the Pratt open house a few weeks ago.  Its the first school I visited, but I was very intrigued by their internship opportunities and how hands on their courses are. I already have my eyes on two of their programs.
I'm also visiting St. Johns University in a few weeks, and Queens college when they get back to me on a date.  Honestly, just on the location alone, Pratt would be ideal, the opportunities that come with a school like Pratt are just cherry toppings.  The commute to St. Johns and Queens college is just unappealing.  Atleast most of St. Johns classes are online.  A few of the librarians attended these schools, so I get the opportunity to ask as much questions as I want, which is really helpful.

I learned today that if I get funding for the dual degree I applied to at OU, I'll get funding for both (54 total credit hours).
I'm leaving my opportunities to fate at this point, but a funded MLIS would be fairly amazing. It's somewhat uncommon. Going to cross my fingers!

I'm applying to the following:
University of Washington * Relatively cheap! UIUC Ranked #1 In a corn field McGill Cheap! Pratt (dual Art History MS/MLS) * Amazing internship opportunities Simmons (dual History MA/MLS) * Decent funding? I think I read someone on here say that. 2 years for 2 degrees NYU (Public History & Archives MA in conjunction w/LIU's MLIS program) * Expensive and totally unfunded history department! How is LIU's MLS program? I've heard negative things about LIU (also it's expensive) Indiana University Bloomington CUNY Queens College (dual History MA/MLS) Cheap! 3 years for 2 degrees In the middle of nowhere in Queens right next to an enormous brutalist-looking cemetery University of North Carolina Chapel Hill *preferred
I have no idea what my expectations should be regarding acceptances, so I'm applying to probably way more schools that I need to. But it gives me peace of mind. And I probably won't regret it, since I like to have options. I have a very good GPA from a good undergrad program, but limited work experience. My essays were alright I think. GRE scores are good for qualitative and extremely weak for qualitative. Thankfully, most programs don't request scores.
We'll see! Good luck fellow applicants!
