  1. Program of Choice v. Program of Financial Stability "I do not have a number one choice. Whatever happens, happens. I do not want to get my heart set on one of them and find myself disappointed or unable to the see advantages of one of the schools because I am too fixated on another school" This has been my attitude since September. but its time to make decisions and i just really need unbiased opinions other than my friends or family or those within my field of interest. (by the way, these are masters programs im referring to) (keep in mind when reading below: I have a California Veteran Federal Loan which pays for my tuition to any public school in CA, but not for housing/utilites/books/food etc.) (also, both programs are in large cities and in cities I love. both have networking capability. im familiar with both cities, i have lived in both. and il work during either program) School A: Prestigious School/i love the program Option ***would have to take out loan for housing/utilites/groceries etc. I applied to 4 schools (but im debating between two now) and the best of the 4 schools accepted me today. I was ecstatic. SO HAPPY. i loved the interview, the faculty, the people i met. The interview was a genuine time to get to know them and for them to get to know me and i left thinking it was such a good experience and that i would love to be apart of that program. But when i got accepted the happy feelings started to go away when the financial anxiety started to arise. Questions surfaced such as "Okay, I have to move and take out loans. But going into debt is not the smartest thing, especially in this economy....especially if i have the option to live at home" I wanted to say accept right away to this school but i still havent heard from the school that is right next to my parents house and i could live at home and commute. School B: Good Program and Save Money/Be financially Secure option *work and live at home --> do not take out loan luckily my parents will let me live at home and then i can save money. I get along with my family and parents so i don't mind. the program is really good. but i did appreciate that the interview was only 15-20 min. and then they took our picture. i felt it was not personable or professional. obviously if they took everyone's pictures, they were not taking the right amount of time to really get to know us. for 65$ admission fee, i would expect a little more face time. every other interview ive been to, i left the program/interview loving the experience and conversations i had with faculty and felt i got to know more than the bullet points of the mission statement on the website and the professors research interests. this interview was quite a joke to me after doing a 2 hour individual interview just a few days before that and two other extensive interviews. (do you think interview process reflects on the schools overall program and work ethic?) any feedback would be soo appreciated. im really struggling with this and can no longer listen to the biased opinions that are coming from me left to right.
  2. i'm dying to hear if i got in the psychology MS program at cal poly san luis obispo. did anyone else interview? I interviewed and want to know if anyone has heard back from them yet. they said by the latest on friday but probably earlier than that. such a tease!!! also did anyone apply to psychology MS at SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY?? OR THE MFT program for cal state LONG BEACH?? the long beach site said they had too many applications so its taking them longer than ususal to go through all the applications.....freakin ey!!! anyone hear from them?? i got an interview with SDSU. i know someone who didnt get an interview but they didnt tell her she got rejected. i feel like schools are not doing so wlel with informing people on the status of their applications!
