Sorry, just so I understand you: you're saying it would be worth it to go to Georgetown? What about it makes it a stronger program than the one at GW? I'm very tempted by the class sizes at GT. I'll also admit I'm blown away that I was accepted to such a prestigious school, so that's part of the appeal of GT for me. I don't want to make the decision based just on prestige though, you know?

Sugarhouse has a handful of homeopathic/organic stores. That's not my thing, so I don't know about their quality. The East Bench area of Salt Lake (which includes the U campus and Sugarhouse) is fairly progressive, so I'm sure what you're looking for will not be difficult to find.

Agreed. What's nice about the U is, you get a free bus pass and the buses all have bike racks on the front.

I did my undergrad there if you have any questions about the campus or SLC in general .

I got admitted to both George Washington and Georgetown for Fall 2011. I did not receive any funding. Is Georgetown worth the extra $15k a year?

They just said they'd let me know as soon as possible--no actual time frame.

I got my letter from American in the mail today. I got waitlisted. So I guess it's a decision between GT and Elliott.

I'll be 31 by the time I matriculate if that makes you feel any better.

Ha, there goes my theory then .

For what it's worth, I submitted mine on the day before they were due. When I emailed them, they said that I was in the last batch. So when decisions are sent *may* have something to do with when it was turned in. Just my conjecture.

I just found out that I got admitted to the Latin American Studies program. Holy crap! This was a reach school for me. I'm in shock.

Thank you!

I've scoured the SFS website for updated placement statistics (what grads did after they graduated), but I've only been able to find a report from 2005 and an undergrad report for 2010. Does anyone know where I can find this information for grad students? Thanks!

I applied a day or two before the date of the general MSFS deadline, January 10th or something like that.

Yeah, weird, right? I saw some other acceptances on the results page, so I don't know what to think about that. The CLAS website does say they're accepting applications till April 1st . . .

I emailed Georgetown to ask them what the crap was going on with my application (in nicer terms, of course . I heard back from them within a few hours, which was very refreshing. They told me that the Latin American Studies program doesn't even look at applications till April 1st, but because it's such a small programs, they make their decisions very quickly. So I'm guessing I'll be hearing them by April 15th.

I'm still waiting for 2 universities: American and Georgetown. I emailed American this week and they said they'd send out my decision the first week of April. I'm think they process the apps depending on when they arrived. I applied the day before the application deadline, so I'm pretty sure that's why mine is taking so long. It was rather disheartening to hear everyone on here getting their admit/reject letters and me, nada. I'm pretty sure I got into American since I got into George Washington, but you never know. As for GT, I have no idea what's going on over there.

I don't know about those schools in particular, but to me, a Master in Liberal Arts/Studies is as useless as a Bachelor degree in Liberal Arts (in terms of getting a job after graduation). I've gotten a couple emails about getting a Masters in Liberal Studies from some schools because of the GRE referral service and I've been underwhelmed by the usefulness of the degree. Just my opinion
