It seems like given the relatively meager funding brandeis provides on average, it can hardly be anyone's top choice. Isnt there even anyone who is deciding between brandeis and other programs, tho?

Hi! I wonder if anybody who is accepted to Brandeis plans on taking the offer? My observation is that many people have declined their offer largely due to funding reason. For those who declined your offer, would you mind sharing your rationales? Also, I am happy to connect to anyone who plans on accepting their offer!

Thank you for this! I sent an email to the MA program at UWMilwaukee since it's been 3 weeks since I've heard from them that I was placed on a waitlist.
This is my first choice so far so I really hope I can get in but... I wasn't 'high' on the waitlist so seems like my chances are slim ?
I saw you earlier mentioned about Brandeis being your top choice. Did you hear from them?

Initial round of offers in Masters Program
in Philosophy

Hi, i am just curious about the following question: how many offers do MA programs typically send out? By offers, i mean all those acceptance except waitlist (so for schools that send out offers in waves, they all count as initial round of offers). I know it may vary between schools (e.g. between a program that's fully funded and, Tufts and Brandeis). But does anyone have any idea how many offers do each type of programs send out initially? Say they need around 10 students (i know some programs have a more strict intake due to funding structure), is it a reasonable speculation that they send out 20 offers initially, or less than that? And is it unreasonable to think that they would send out 2.5x times their expected intake? Given the fact that different programs have data on their matriculation rate, it seems reasonable to think that some schools would send out more, and some less. What do you folks think?
