Thanks everyone for the advice! You're probably right, it is not the best idea, if even possible. I'm looking into some other options now.

So today was the deadline to hear back about a big - and competitive - funding opportunity. I haven't heard anything so I think I didn't make it. Sigh! But on the other hand, I have an acceptance from my dream school with no funding attached. There are some other competitions coming up that I'm in the running for, but nothing that will cover the entirety of full-time tuition. I'm Canadian and trying to go to UCL in London, and because of our terrible economy I can't afford the full-time tuition without funding. However, I could probably gather together enough outside funding sources for the part-time tuition. I was accepted for full-time, but do you think they'd allow me to do one year part-time and then upgrade later when I can re-apply to the big funding opportunities? There are also more grants available to students already working on their PhDs. But I don't know if a) they would let me change my offer from full-time to part-time, or b ) if that's smart or just going to hinder my progress. Any thoughts at all are welcome, thanks!!!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking but finally cracked under the stress and need to post. I'm Canadian, did my BA at Guelph, MA in Classics at MUN, and MA in English at Acadia. I'm going into Classical Reception and applied to schools in the UK, since that's where it's a hot topic right now. I've been accepted to UCL and RHUL, but funding is an entirely separate application process, so despite my acceptances I have no idea if I can go until I hear back re: funding... UCL is supposed to send out word by February 24th. So this is probably the most stressful month ever.
