  1. I believe UW just sent out a bunch of rejections...I was one of them.
  2. @CarolinaSmash I was placed in it after applying to the phd program and not getting in.
  3. I'm sorry I actually don't know much about the summer session. I am doing the phd-track master's program, so I didn't have to take the summer classes. It seems like from the 1-year masters program to the phd program won't be easy, but being at ncsu would probably help your application a little bit as you already some of the professors (recs from the department professors would be helpful). I'm sorry I'm not much help with these questions.
  4. The starting cohort size is ~30 I'd say. In terms of graduate advising, you are correct that it is a very large program. You totally can get lost in the shuffle, but if you try to make connections with professors, they are all generally very nice and want to help. I also love the peers here and the PhD students all bond over taking the same first-year classes.
  5. I'm a current master's student at NC State and a lot of my friends are PhD students with TA positions. The hours are nowhere near 20 hours. They're usually not even 10 hours tbh. So no need to worry about that. Especially for first-year students the TA positions will have fewer hours as first-year classes are difficult. Also, they told me that their first email from the department informing them of acceptance all said TA, even though some of them ended up with other positions or fellowships later on. I think the email with TA information is just their generic way of telling us that there will be funding.
