anyone hear back from purdue masters... i know there was an acceptance posted today and i'm freaking out, purdue is like my only hope

hi! anyone planning on turning down dartmouth's complit ma program? i know it's a long shot but wanted to try my luck! it's my top choice. btw-- it's been like two weeks since my waitlist email but i did not write anything back as i did not think it was necessary. should i have at least thanked them? kind of freaking out about that now ? good luck to everyone!

i just want to get a fully funded ma offer. is that too much to ask. i'm looking at you, purdue.

yeah, i will definitely do that, just wanted also try my luck here! thank you so much, i hope it works out!

okay so i just got an acceptance e-mail from alberta's ma program. anyone have any solid information about their funding package? they are offering me 20k for the first year (scholarship), but it says i'd have to reapply next year for funding. since i cannot go if i do not have guaranteed funding for two years, this is kind of bittersweet. also, would i still have to pay tuition? i'm really confused. the letter says i should get back to them by march 19, which is also too soon imo. i'd be happy if anyone had any info on this!

wait, you are supposed to tell them you are still interested when you are waitlisted? i didn't reply to the waitlist e-mail, should i? ?

oh my god, it has three english programs?? i saw the option to apply to other programs but i just skipped it because i thought it meant other areas. so weird. should have applied to all three, we did pay a lot of money. but yeah, i thought the only english program was the west lafayette one. i hope we both get in, it has an excellent program! and the funding doesn't hurt either. good luck to you too!

yeah-- that was my assumption too but purdue seems to have accepted some ma people on JANUARY 18 last year, which is weird considering the january 6 deadline?? this is such a weird process

anyone applied to/heard from purdue? i applied to the ma, but it seems the dates for the ma and the phd don't really differ. results page shows acceptances/rejections dating from january 18 to april 15 for previous years, but nothing is posted for this year. just want to hear backkk

yeah, same letter for me. i knew this was coming but still hurts!

exactly. i feel the same

@jkv152 it seems that it's mid to end of february for phd applicants, and march for ma applicants! (at least that's what i gathered from the handful of posts on the results page)! thank you, and good luck to you too!

hey, i actually applied to the ma program in cinema studies, university of washington. pretty excited about the result!

@angrychalupa by the way, they sent an additional e-mail which named the faculty who will interview me. and they don't speak spanish, thankfully (not that i know of!), so maybe if you do have an interview somewhere, you'll also know who will be interviewing you and will have a chance to do research on them beforehand, hopefully, it eases the anxiety!

it's really scary.. i'm happy to speak turkish since it is my native language, but i already wrote in my sop that i wanted to "acquire fluency in Spanish during my studies..." so i hope they don't expect me to converse in it easily at this time... because i will definitely fail! and i see what you mean, my spanish definitely has some french in it (from high school!) where did you apply? expecting any interviews?
