Sorry, wasn't clear. They are both masters programs, so I would only be dishing out tuition for a year. Regarding its funding, its looking unlikely but not impossible. My trouble with deciding is that the north american school isn't as strong in my AOIs, but has great placement into PhDs, while the UK school is very strong in my AOIs but placement is unclear.

Hi folks, I've a question for y'all. I have two offers, one from school A, a UK school that is quite strong in my AOIs, and another from B, a strong terminal MA program in North America with an excellent placement record (I just got off the waitlist there, so currently trying to decide between the two last minute). The UK school's placement record is allegedly excellent, but they don't track that kind of data, while the terminal MA has a proven track record. Financially, B is much safer, as it is funded and doesn't have exhorbitant tuition fees. A, otoh, is less safe but potentially much more exciting research-wise (doing really well on the new PGR). I'm wondering if UK schools place well (and keep in mind, its not Oxford or Cambridge), if it's worth it, etc. etc. Any thoughts help, friends.

thank you! I was just told by Ms. Sheldon today that I'm on the wait list. How acceptances have been trickling out, I imagine they are accepting a few people, waiting for an answer, and only then working their way down the list. In light of this, do you think you will be accepting the offer?

Have Stanford rejections/waitlists gone out yet?

When did you get the news about Simon Fraser, if I may? Still waiting on them.

Has anyone heard from CUNY? In the same boat, still no news. Also, to whomever asked about Toronto, I can claim being waitlisted.
