Didn't get an assistantship either. I guess I'm on the waitlist for an out-of-state tuition waiver but even if I get that I'm not sure it would be worth it to make the move. Looks like I'll probably be staying at the U of Utah.
-
Seriously!
-
Ellyk, just got an e-mail from Dr. Vonk saying that they send everyone a letter whether or not they are given an assistantship so we should hear something either way.
-
I think you're right ellyk, I haven't completed my FAFSA yet either. I was under the impression that for graduate school loans are based on financial needs. I heard that grants aren't available and neither are subsidized loans so basically you are able to take out $20,000 in unsubsidized loans. Anyone know if this is correct? Danielle, is this how yours looked? Here's to another day of waiting. I want to move to Georgia!!
-
Well I'm glad that I'm not the only who hasn't heard. I'm tempted to e-mail Dr. Vonk again if I haven't heard by tomorrow. Is that too obnoxious? I've emailed her twice in the past. Danielle, by financial aid do you mean FASFA? If so I think it's totally separate and wouldn't mean that you aren't getting an assistantship. Thanks for the response ladies, it's nice to know I'm not the only one still waiting. UGHHH!!!
-
I need to vent a little. Has anyone heard back on assistantships yet besides Whitty? I am so sick of feeling glued to my inbox! I can't focus on anything. Seems like the date for hearing back just keeps getting pushed out over and over. Ellyk or Danielle, any news?
-
Still waiting to hear about an assistantship. I'm just wondering if anybody knows, do they contact everyone whether or not you received an assistantship, or do they only contact those who do? I'm going crazy!
-
I just got an e-mail from Dr. Vonk saying that all of the letters are in the process of going out and that they hope to be completed by early next week. Good luck to those of you still waiting (me included!).
-
For those of you who are still waiting, I just e-mailed Dr. Vonk again (I've been so obnoxious) to ask if all assistanship decisions have been announced and if not, will we hear either way. I'll let you guys know if she e-mails me back.
-
Congrats whitty! Did you get a call or an email? Have you decided where you're going? Does anyone know if they notify you either way?
-
Have either of you tried to contact Dr. Vonk to ask when decisions will be made? I did a few weeks ago and haven't dared to again because I've already been a bit of a pest. Here is her info Email: bvonk@uga.edu Phone: (678) 985-6793; (706) 542-5471. She usually responds within a day. If either of you decide to contact her, keep me updated on what she says. I bet she has a pretty good idea by now of when we should hear back.
-
Haven't heard anything. I e-mailed them a few weeks ago and they said they would know by early April. I'm so anxious to find out! I won't be able to pull off out of state tuition so this is really my last chance for going out of state. Hopefully we hear back within the next week.
-
Do you know when UNC makes decisions on funding? It kind of sucks being advanced standing because you have to start in the summer without knowing if you'll even get any.
I am hoping that fellowship and assistantship decisions are made earlier than that. If only I could get someone from UNC to answer that question. I've been trying for 3 weeks. They are by far the most difficult school to work with as far as trying to get a hold of anyone. -
Congrats, Whitty!
-
Does anyone know if decisions about fellowships or assistantships are given at the time you find out if you were accepted, or is that a separate process? I haven't had any luck in getting a hold of anyone at UNC who can answer this for me.
-
Congrats, Danielle! Are either of you advanced standing?
-
I'm not sure but I am applying for advanced standing so it's possible that they only interviewed AS. The professor that interviewed me said decisions would be sent by April 1. I'm not sure if it's different for 2 year students.
-
Congrats! Now we just have to wait for assistantship decisions. It never ends!
-
I think I got mine at right about 7 weeks. Hang in there, I'm sure it's coming any day! I also heard back from the professor in charge of assistantship decisions and she said it's a separate process and that applicants should find out early April. At least you live nearby so you can go in on Monday if you haven't heard by then.
-
That was my theory as well. My acceptance letter just here today. No word on an assistantship. Now I'm hoping that those decisions come separately! Did you have a chance to go talk to them today?
-
I got accepted to UNC but am not sure how I'm going to pay for it since out of state tuition is crazy. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an assistantship at UGA, but so is everyone right? If I get one of those I'll definitely go to UGA. Did you grow up in Athens or move there for your undergrad? Do you like the city? I've never actually been there.
-
That was my experience too. Let me know if you get some answers, I'm so sick of waiting! Is UGA your first choice?
-
It does, thank you. I'll shoot them an email now because I got the email from the School of Social Work about receiving my application on the 26th, so I should've found out the same time you did. Something's wrong.
Did you get ahold of UGA?
-
I applied for the Advanced Standing program.
UGA MSW - Anyone?

I just got a call this morning letting me know that I have been awarded an assistantship through the graduate school! I guess I need to start planning a cross country move. ellyk, would it be ok if I message you some questions about Athens? You are the only person that I know that lives there so I would really appreciate it. Also, I'm sending you and Danielle my facebook profile so we can be friends!
