Hey Suprisecake! When do you arrive to Durham? I have been here for two weeks and the city is pretty awesome. I am getting a little nervous about starting classes/diagnostics. Let's meet up when you get here!

That's how I feel about SOS! Duke offered 7,000 scholarship and 3,000 assistantship. What about you?

So this is becoming a really hard decision because Arizona State University SOS offered me a full ride plus stipend. Is anyone else considering SOS? How is the program regarded? I am nervous because the program is so new. Also, Duke is my dream school but I will have to go into a lot of debt! Any opinions will be helpful!

<br /><br /><br /> If it makes you feel any better I did not even apply to Yale MEM because of the age thing

<br /><br /><br /> SPEA is about 20,000 /year based on twelve credits per semester. But it would take at least 2 years for the MPA/MSES. Duke is about 30,000/year for two years, but I only got 10,000/year funding. How much funding did you get? So are you leaning towards Duke for sure? I can let you know how the admitted student weekend goes!

<br /><br /><br /> It was an email that stated that you have to download the attached pdf letter. The letter says the decision.

I was accepted to UCSB but don't find out about funding until April 1. I also received the Educational Opportunity Fund from SPEA. So I was leaning towards Duke but I am now a little more undecided because of the savings if I go to IU SPEA. What does everyone think about reputation vs. cost? Is Duke worth $20,000 more than IU? This is getting so hard!

I was accepted last night at UCSB but no word on funding yet until April 1. I can't afford to visit all of these schools but I would love to see the UCSB campus. Any time I mention that school the only response I get is how gorgeous it is. This decision is getting so hard!

I am! What about you?

Congrats!!!

I was notified by email that I was admitted last Friday. Then when I checked/online it said admitted.

Thanks. How did you know what they offered for the second year? I have emailed to ask if the scholarship is the same for the second year but they have not replied.

I found out I was accepted to Arizona State University SOS. Pretty excited but I am still waiting for financial aid.

So if the acceptance letter did not mention funding that means we didn't get any? If so, that makes my decision a little easier!

What do you consider a little bit? (sorry for being nosy
