I’m starting grad school this Fall semester at 40 😎

Hi guys! As you know, I was accepted to the University of Illinois and the University of Alabama. I already accepted Illinois’s offer, but I can change my decision until April 15th. If you guys had to choose between these two outstanding universities, which one would you choose? Illinois: Stipend: USD 12,738 Health insurance: partial Proof of funding: USD 24,000 (for myself + dependents) Sponsor: a friend of mine, an American citizen. - - - Alabama Stipend: USD 14,364 Health insurance: full coverage Proof of funding: USD 16,036 (b

Thanks! This is really kind of you!

Guys! I have awesome news (again)! 😃 I was officially accepted to the University of Alabama. I’m really happy, even thought I’ve already said YES to Illinois 😂

Thanks, VLE! I’ve just talked to someone in my department and they told me I’ll have to show a proof of funding of US$24,241 😕 I’m not happy with that. I dunno what I’m going to do.

Sorry, I only saw it now. Yes, I received my funding offer even before. The head of the department emailed me to say I had been awarded financial support in the form of at 33% time Teaching Assistantship for the academic years of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. I couldn’t be happier. I am now only concerned about the proof of funding because I have three dependents, but I haven’t received any emails from Illinois talking about it. I emailed the program director today, but he said he doesn’t know much about this kind of thing, so he forwarded my message to grad services. The inform

Hi everyone! I was OFFICIALLY accepted to Illinois! I’m so happy! Thanks for all the prayers and positive thoughts! 🙏😃✨

Thank you so much! I have hope I’ll be officially accepted to another school! 🙏

One last thing: you can definitely email Dr. E. to ask for updates on your status. Dr. E is awesome and he does his best to help everyone.

You will hear from them soon. I only heard before because I submitted my application in October. Good luck! You’ll love that department. It’s just a pity the grad school didn’t accept my transcript! It’s a nightmare, I don’t want to hear again the word “Iowa” for the next few years.... 🥺🥺🥺

ISU = Iowa State University? I have heard from them. I was unofficially accepted on a Thursday and rejected on a Monday. I’m really disappointed. (see the posts above)

Yes, this waiting is killing me!!!! Stay strong, everything happens for a reason. Easier said than done, I know 🥺

Thank God it had nothing to do with your degree. I’m pretty you’ll be accepted somewhere! 🤞🏻

Thanks! It’s been super hard. I haven’t slept well since Monday, but there’s still hope! I won’t give up!
