I'm happy to hear that TA'ing won't take up as much time as I was expecting. The papers I signed stated up to 20 hours a week, but 5-10 hours does sound more realistic. Also, do you recommend studying up on the class you will be TA'ing before the Fall Semester? I'm assigned to the Physical Geology lab, so I feel like I won't need to be prepping too much for it

If you didn't receive any funding, but still received an acceptance, you could look into whether or not the school you want to go to allows you to pay in-state tuition up to a certain number of credits. UL-Lafayette charges in-state tuition up to three credits regardless of where you are from, for example. So it'd cost around $1500 for 3 credits. Not the best option, but possibly affordable if you're working a job on the side to support it. Take two semesters for 6 credits, then reapply for grad schools next year, possibly transfer, receive funding, etc. Just something to consider if you're in an unfortunate position of having no funding. Thoughts?

Received an email from the University of Arkansas having 50 applicants this year and only 4 positions to fill. Last year they had 30 applicants. I wonder how many of the applicants were laid off in the past year

I signed with a school that offered a TA spot. Was waiting to hear back from UL-Lafayette about funding, but am I right in assuming it's too late now that I've signed and accepted a TA spot at another school? Even if UL offered funding, say in 3 days, what would be my options? I'm pretty satisfied with the school I signed with, just curious

I just logged into the Arkansas Connect system and saw that I have been admitted. I didn't get any kind of email or letter in the mail. So now I'm not sure of my next move... haven't contacted my POI from Arkansas in 4 months

Did anyone else apply to Arkansas? They're the only one I haven't heard anything from in all the places I applied

Slutha,Committee supported you as a TA, however the final decision has not been made at administrative level yet. You should receive a letter soon.Stay tuned,-Dr. XXXX
