Me again: I wouldn't take this one personally, I have heard that FSU rarely offers funding to first year students.

Sup, y'all. Figured I would pop in to give a heads up on funding at USF (I am from the 2016 cohort). As of right now, there are three slots with funding available, which is why there have been no funding decisions yet. That said, they were able to find funding for some of my cohort that weren't offered at the initial acceptance. So don't give up hope yet!

Hey there! I hope everyone had a successful first semester!

First off, congrats to everyone who graduated this month! We survived! Anyone else started their apartment hunting? I think I have a lock in on a place. I'll find out for sure tomorrow. The joys of pet rent... I'll be moving to Florida in early August. Also, @KnowVac, one of my cohort is supposed to be joining you at IU. All in all, congratulations to everyone, and I hope to meet many of you at ASC in November!

I'm also in final thesis prep mode. I defend on April 1st. I'm also finishing course work due on the 1st & a 2,000-3,000 word encyclopedia entry due on the 31st.... why do I do these things to myself?

@ThesisTerror724- Congrats! I know you were getting frustrated by their lack of movement. My USF visit is almost at an end, and some new information is making me lean in that direction- specifically that the department hired 2 new professors whose areas of research line up with my own nicely. It doesn't help that I adore the fact that they also require 3 hours of professional development courses so you can learn the nitty gritty things like how to build a syllabus, write a grant proposal, and look for a job. I'm planning on teaching, and those skills are priceless. Yeah, MSU is going to have to make a strong case.

@ThesisTerror724 @Kylie_ ASU just posted on the website. I was not accepted, but that just made my decision process easier. Cest la vie!

@ThesisTerror724 I don't blame you. I'm going to enjoy my visit to USF this weekend, and not worry about ASU for the time being.

@ThesisTerror724 @Kylie_ That spam mail from ASU tonight was not fair.

@Partinrn Congrats! I'm definitely up for exchanging info.

@ThesisTerror724 The good news is that we know we are both waiting. Imagine not knowing anyone else's status...

Same! I keep refreshing the status page...

@liesandfish Congrats! I am so happy for you! It has to be a relief to have made the final decision.

Yay!!!

Thanks. My stress level just spiked a minute ago because I saw I had an email from ASU. It was a generic "Apply to ASU" advertisement email from their graduate admissions office. ...back to working on my thesis...
