This is frustrating....need to vent. Just got accepted into the University of New Orleans last week, but no funding - potential for future funding. Just today got called for an interview for Kent State University, but there will be no funding there for the first year. Got a no a long time ago from the University of Arizona and I am still waiting on one more, the University of Oregon. Already met the faculty at the University of New Orleans, got a really good vibe and they are excited about the work I am doing, quote "the committee was unanimous about the decision to accept you and (we) are sorry that there isn't any assistantships spots in your concentration right now." However, I will be granted in state tuition, which is cheap in Louisiana, and I still may get some scholarships and regular grants from the graduate school and financial aid. I had kept telling myself that I wouldn't go to grad school unless I got an assistantship and all was paid for, but I really feel that there are true mentors for me there.... errr. All this waiting and worry about money is driving me crazy! Any advice?
