  1. @twinguy7 I realize this thread is pretty old, but I'd also be interested in the pdf practice tests if they are still available. I'll send you my email. Thanks!
  2. I was wondering what other people are doing for health insurance during their Master's program. I realize a lot of people might be young enough to be on their parents' plans still, but for those of us who aren't... It seems to be about $2,300/year through my school, or $4,600 for my husband and I. I've had health insurance through my job the last 5 years and have no idea how much it normally costs. Just wondering if anyone else is going through this right now as I'm starting to research what our best option is.
  3. I just got accepted off the waitlist today! Not sure if I'm going yet. Such a big decision to make and only 5 days to make it!
  4. CSU San Marcos didn't this past year. But they might change their application from year to year.
  5. I also need to establish residency in my new state. Hopefully moving on August 1st will be early enough to get in-state tuition the second year. When do you plan on moving?
  6. I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I'll be working until July 28th, so I won't be able to move out early. I was hoping to either go late June since I have some time off work and check places out super early. Or possibly contacting apartment complexes and seeing if they will have any availability starting in August. I'd like to hear what other people suggest as I'm stressing out a little about this move!
  7. Anyone made a group for University of New Mexico?
  8. Congrats! That's an exciting decision to have to make. You may want to consider the length of program as well, since I know CSUN's is longer than 2 years. (Although I don't know how long WWU's is?) And factor in loss of income during that 3rd year that you could be possibly already working had you attended a shorter program. Also, would they allow you to pay in-state tuition during the 2nd year after establishing residency? Some schools do. I think it depends on the state.
  9. Wellll, I sent my deposit to University of New Mexico. BUT, I'm still holding out on my waitlists at SDSU and SFSU. So we'll see where I end up! Best of luck to you as well!
  10. Congrats on your acceptances! I personally decided against CSUN because I've heard it's a longer program. It's not a normal cohort style and students sometimes have issues getting into the classes they need. From what I've read on here, it's at least 2 1/2 years. If I were from the area though, I probably would have chosen it. I have to move either way, so I chose to go with a shorter program that I was more interested in. Good luck with your decision! I'm sure you will be happy either way.
  11. I'd imagine that most schools would take AT LEAST a few days to go through the numbers, decide how many people can be let in from the waitlist, and prepare the emails/documents to send to them. I hope you hear soon though!
  12. I'm just so tired of waiting. I just sent my deposit to a school I was accepted to and luckily I'm excited about the school. But I would love to stay in-state and would probably accept either of my in-state waitlists. It's frustrating when you want to start making plans revolving around where you will be/what your school schedule will be like, and you still have no idea where that is. I looked at the results page from past years for my schools (SDSU & SFSU) and it looks like they accept people from the waitlist from late April - June. Hoping for April!
  13. Yeah, I emailed them. We'll see what they say. I kind of feel like I was accepted because the letter had my name on it, whereas the rejection one was generic (and possibly an accident?) I still have no idea what my decision would be though. Are you leaning towards accepting CSUN's offer?
  14. I got an acceptance letter and a rejection letter all within 3 minutes of each other. HAHA! CSUN, get your act together. Did anyone else get 2 letters?!
  15. Thanks for the info! It makes me care a lot less about what my decision from them is, haha. I really don't want to spend more than 2 years in a program! Or not be able to get into classes.
  16. Thanks! I think I'll wait to see if I actually get accepted and if I do, I'll message you for his email. Whoever it is that I've been emailing during the application process has responded to about 10% of my emails.
  17. Thanks! Good to know. I was reading old gradcafe posts about CSUN and I saw that the program is actually 2 1/2 years. Is that true? Their website has the least amount of information of any program I've seen.
  18. Anyone have any idea of when Northridge will send their decisions? We're now less than 2 weeks from the deadline to accept offers and I have no idea where I'm going to accept. It would be nice to at least have heard back from all my schools! I see last year, decisions were sent ranging from March 30 - April 11.
  19. Unfortunately I won't be able to visit before I have to make my decision. It looks like I'm going to be deciding between 2 schools that I haven't visited (not even the cities or even states they are in, hah...) and then waiting to see if I get into one of my California waitlists later. Thanks for the info! Maybe I'll look for the facebook group.
  20. I got my acceptance for St. Xavier University in the mail a couple days ago. And I realize, of all the programs I applied to, it may be the one I feel like I know the least about. Any current students/friends of current students/people who know things about SXU care to comment on the school/program? And whether a southern California girl might be capable of surviving two Chicago winters? Thanks!
  21. Still waiting on CSU Northridge... It looks like last year they sent out decisions on March 30th, but other years they sent them in mid-April?! Really hoping to hear this week!
  22. Thanks for the info! I have a unique situation I guess in that I'm moving to grad school with my fiance, and I think we'd like to have our own place. He'll be waiting on his green card and won't be able to work for the first 3-6 months wherever we are. Soooo, it would probably be a little rough trying to pay rent on my own. My only acceptance so far is University of New Mexico. Rent is a LOT cheaper there, and tuition is a LOT more expensive since I'd be out of state. So there will be a lot to think about if I get into a CA school.
  23. I have a question for those of you who are set on SF. I've never lived in SF but I do love it there and have many friends in the bay area. Even if I were accepted off the waitlist, I'd be nervous about the insane cost of rent in the city. How much do you estimate a 1 bedroom apartment costing per month?
  24. Finalllllly got my letter! I'm #8 on the waitlist. #8 doesn't seem too bad... But I'm sort of feeling like waitlist queen over here. (This is my 4th waitlist) I do appreciate them telling me my ranking at least!
