    Actually, I was offered 60k in funding AND conditional admissions saying I need to take calc or econ lol

    Admitted, then logged out and checked again, offered $30k per year. Not going to lie - pretty shocked. I thought they were stingy?

    +1 I received a Foreign Language and Area Studies grant this week which covers full tuition and a $15,000 stipend to an MA program at one of my schools. Part of me feels uncomfortable negotiating with other schools.... I can't really expect most programs (SFS, SIPA, etc) to match that level of support, let alone even offering full tuition.

    Just received MAERES decision.

    Hoping to get some perspective. I was admitted to a strong (but not extremely elite) humanities MA program in late January - but the letter made clear I received no funding. I then emailed the Program Director asking if funding was available/could be re-considered. She essentially let me know that I was "their number one priority" and that if I didn't get a school wide fellowship (that she thought I would secure), then she would advocate for a TA-ship (free tuition/stipend/insurance). While a TA-ship comes with the added responsibility of teaching - I'd sort of prefer it (as it is 2 years confirmed, and I'd get teaching experience). I would prefer getting that offered up-front irregardless of the other school-wide fellowship. Any thoughts? Just feeling strange to get this information through email - if they thought I deserved a TA-ship, why wouldn't they just award it to me?

    Serious question - after law school, don't you essentially have all the skills you'd need for gov jobs? Couldn't you just take a community college quant class?
