  1. Hello, everyone! I was recently admitted to an MS program, but TA/GA/RA positions are limited and PhD students are given preference, so it is unlikely that I will be getting funding through these opportunities. I e-mailed a few professors from MS programs similar to mine, explaining my research interests and asking if they had any RA/GA positions available. I feel like I just whored myself out, but I would like to get some sort of funding! I'm wondering if anyone has gotten a TA/RA/GA position outside of their program? Is this possible? What are my chances? Any other thoughts/funding ideas other than student loans? All input is appreciated! (:
  2. How do you think I should phrase such an e-mail without sounding super annoying and impatient?
  3. I can't wait to no longer have to refresh my e-mails and then refresh the application status page every 30 minutes! Maybe we'll hear back by the end of the month!
  4. Well, that makes the situation seem less bleak. There's a priority deadline and a final deadline, and the priority applications are accepted/rejected before the final deadline, so I'll at least find out before July 15. Yay, more waiting. ?
  5. Ya, I might consider doing that! I really want to get in there.
  6. Okay, so, I sent in my application to the MS in Educational Psychology program at Oklahoma State University at the end of January. The program coordinator said that admissions decisions should occur sometime between March 15-22. Back in November, I asked him some questions about the program, including how competitive it is, and his response was that enrollment is low and as long as you meet the requirements and have pertinent research interests, you were in. Well, it's March 21 and I still haven't heard anything. I've been obsessively refreshing my e-mails and the application website and losing my sanity. The program is so obscure, I've only found one post on the admissions results page- an acceptance on March 15, 2014. Since it's been this long, I guess I can expect to get a rejection tomorrow, but that makes me feel awful. They'd rather have an empty seat in their program than fill it with me. The program even offers provisional admission if you don't meet the minimum requirements...maybe I can be hopeful for that even though I met all of the requirements. Either way, I just want to find out. Waiting is torture.
