Congrats to all on the thread this cycle. I was accepted to the UChicago MA at CMES, and the Oxford MPhil in Modern Middle East Studies and St Antony's College. While the half tuition offer for the first year at UChicago (apparently the most they offer) is nice considering the second year is generally free, I'm waiting on my funding results for Oxford. There's also the looming feeling that all of these programs are cash cows, and while I had a solid application and fit for both programs, I can't shake the feeling. Even though I am very committed to continuing on to the doctorate level in the US. Surprisingly, even with this "generous" package at UChicago (that seems to be the best scholarship offered based on their site and posts here), costs at Oxford unfunded are comparatively within reach. US Masters are extremely expensive at base price. Anyone else that is or dealing with this sort of predicament?
