Nope. I asked, but I did not get a clear response. I had other offers, so I am fine. ASU broke my heart a little bit though.

UNH is a wonderful program! With Christina Ortmeier-Hooper that is an amazing scholar. They actually take only 2 people each year.They also have 100% TT placement. They also just hired a new comp/rhet prof As per ASU - I had to email them to learn that I got in with no funding. The letter online will probably state any information about funding.

Soon I am going to move to USA and it would be great to have a car and have the chance to see all those amazing places. My main problem is the fact that I don't have driver's license and I won't be able to get one before I go. Do you know how much , more or less, does a driver's course cost? How difficult is to get one, and how much is for car insurance ( estimated, of course, I know it all depends..) ? How does a driver's course look like? How long does it take to pass the course? Up to this point I was convinced that I can live without a car.. Can anyone help me with my question?

Yes, they do apply for additional financial aid and also for scholarships that are outside the schools, like some foundations or institutions, who give aid for people who study certain topics. When you apply you have to check if there is additional essay for people who want to get a scholarship, or an assistantship and add this to your application. They will also inform you if the need such assitional materials while applying to the chosen schools. Also, mark on your choice lists the reasons why you want to apply and the scholarships you want to apply for (TA, or other financial aid) so they will know what you want.I have to admit, I aimed at schools that I know I could afford within the limit of Fulbright grant - so that was bit on the safe side. I just dont have any additional dollar to spare. But you certainly have to dream big, because good schools have good financial aid :-) Maybe, knowing what I know now, I would add a famous school to my list, but only one

I don't know what your question really is... If it is the case like in Poland that Fulbright sponsors only one year, and they you are on your own and have to deal financially yourself. and you worry about that you will have to go back home after a year - I dont think it is a problem. Many people who got a Fulbright scholarship get also additional financial support from the school for the following years. You may know that the moment they accept you and inform about funding options. I do not think that Fulbright Comission will "force" you to do MA in one year You just have to check with them.

They accepted all the schools I had proposed, because I really did a research on what schools have to offer in terms of faculty and courses that fit my interests. Sometimes a good school will have a department that has different research objectives that you plan to study. I read somewhere that if all schools reject you, they might apply to schools with later deadline, and only then they will give up on you. Sometimes a school lower in the rank has actually stronger department in your field, and that should be the thing that you should take into consideration.

My plane lands on 15th about 2 PM I m not sure about sharing a cab, cause it would be about 2hrs of waiting and I will be after long flights... but I am definitely for having a dinner together or something on 15th

Chill out, it's still 2 months until Miami. I think they will do it in due time, as always... And , I also think that the schedule will not be so different from last year's . This year taught me a lot about patience...

\ Looks like we are going to meet offline I think they will email us the schedule.

Is anyone still waiting? Im going to Maine this fall, but first to Miami for orientation Anyone going to miami orientation too?

You should write them an email. Definitely.

Well I contacted the admission office, but the reply was not the one I could expect ( yes/no) instead I got info that I wasn't even considered for admission cause my files was missing something... oh well. Anyway, even if I got accepted I would go somewhere else at this point.

I was so impatient that I wrote to one of the schools :> They replied that they admitted me but are settling the details with IIE. So that means that IIE knows that I have been accepted but they won't inform me until they have all the details. That is frustrating a bit But maybe the same is happening for other people, and we should just wait, in silence and patience...

Has anyone applying to MA got any information?

Well, I dont have access to my account, so I will have to wait a bit longer I think. Please post information here as soon as you hear anything about MA admissions
