I'm going to be at Washington University in St. Louis! I had a difficult choice between there and Maryland, but I ultimately feel that this is the M.A. program for me and I feel really good about my decision. I hope everyone ended up at a place that is a good fit for them!

Anyone make a decision yet? The deadline is so soon, but I am definitely not able to decide yet.

@Gamb1t I liked BG and OSU a lot more than I expected to. Maryland was really lovely, but I'm not sure it is the best research fit. Still, the faculty and curriculum are really great. My favorite visit was Washington University in St. Louis. Great faculty, beautiful campus, supportive community, and really great fit. I think it is down to Maryland and WashU, but I am still not ready to decide. How about you? Ready to make a decision?

@KTF87 I have received excellent offers for the MA programs at Bowling Green, Ohio State, Washington University in St. Louis, and Maryland. I've visited both BG and OSU and had great visits at both schools. I'm off to St. Louis tomorrow and Maryland (via Baltimore) on Monday. Hope I can make an informed decision soon after the last visit.

@KTF87 I did my undergraduate degree in Performance Studies at Northwestern. The faculty are simply incredible scholars, researchers, writers, artists, and teachers. Having worked with them directly, I definitely have nothing but positive things to say! Congrats on getting in and good luck as you make your decision.

@Gamb1t I am visiting Ohio State next Monday and WashU on Thursday and Friday. Funding seems to be somewhat up in the air regarding Maryland. Dr. Lee hopes to have good news for me this week, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Hey everybody! I just found out about this site and I am so thankful it exists. I'm currently deciding between three M.A. programs: WashU, Ohio State, and Maryland. I'm wondering if anyone got their M.A. via any of these programs or what you know about them in terms of academic reputation. I'm leaning towards WashU, due to the interdisciplinary focus of the program, but have received an amazing funding package from Ohio State. Any advice? Best of luck to everyone waiting on admissions decisions and deciding on where they are going to attend!
