    Is it true that there are only going to be 1,000 awardees this year?
  2. 94AVL
    Since a lot of us are starting to get a majority of our acceptances/rejections. Where are you planning to attend? Any struggles with making a decision?

    I had a great visit at Tennessee. Really enjoyed the campus and the Geography building/facilities were really impressive. I’m going to have a tough decision to make.

    Unfortunately I can't attend the open house due to my work schedule. Going to visit another time.

    I was accepted into UNC yesterday! Really didn't think that would happen. No word on funding from anywhere but Tennessee so far.

    Accepted to South Carolina today! Their open house is during a conference I am having to attend. They are offering funding to attend the open house. Do you think if I ask for a different visitation date they could fit me in sometime?

    The University of Tennessee is the only place I have heard back from. Going to visit in the next couple of weeks. UNC, South Carolina, Penn State seem to come out a bit later but I did see an acceptance from UNC on the result page.

    Ooops. Sorry I missed the Sociology one. Great work again!

    There’s a few people that do Climate and extreme weather work so I’m keeping my options open! I see an acception for UNC on the results page. I haven’t heard anything either way. Going to assume that means not good news though.

    Great work! Could you do some of the Social Sciences as well? Sociology, Geography?

    I was accepted to Tennessee with a TAship but so far that is the only school I have heard back from. I've really enjoyed my conversations with the faculty there and think it would be a great place to attend.

    Happy to provide feedback for you on App State. I really enjoyed my experience there.

    Received my first admissions offer! Excited about the opportunity and my POI at the school sent a very enthusiastic email about the teaching assistantship funding I will be receiving.
  15. 94AVL
    Just had a phone conversation with my POI at one of my top choices. She said my application was viewed favorably by 3 of the committee members and she is really going to fight for me. I thought it was a great sign but then she ended the convo by saying that those with higher GREs often get accepted first and I might not get a first round acceptance. So I really don't know how to take it.

    Where did all my fellow geographers apply?
  17. 94AVL
    Hey everyone, I would really appreciate any feedback on my SOP for grad school. I would be happy to look over yours as well.

    2nd year grad student applying here. I switched fields from undergrad to grad school so I am trying really hard to sell the effort I made in that switch. Does anyone want to work together on editing our essays? Might help us catch things that people we work with constantly will not.

    @ashiepoo72 I am definitely going to look into that. I appreciate it. I'm gonna hold off on applying until this fall. Just one last quick question. Does anyone know much about Virginia Tech's program?
  20. 94AVL
    @ashiepoo72Thanks! I'll have to look into the abroad idea. It just feels really far away but I am sure it will be here before I know it.

    I know this is a long shot but I thought this would be the best place to ask. I was on track to graduate from UG school this fall but lucked out and petitioned for one of my High School/Community College dual enrollment classes to be counted as credit, which was just approved this week! Anyway, I am dead set on graduate school but I know a lot of deadlines have passed. I couldn't apply this last fall because I thought I would still be an undergrad student at that point. So far the only schools I have found are Purdue and Appalachian State for a M.A., which wouldn't be awful because of my interest in Southern/Appalachian Studies. Do you guys have any other suggestions? Just don't know what I would do for a year and a half while waiting to move on. Another question: I know one of the bigger problems will be funding this late but I have enough to support myself for a semester. If I am self funded for one semester can I be offered funding later? Pros: Archival Internship with my final exhibit being requested by local historical society to go on display. Going to graduate Cum laude with distinction in History.
