I understand wanting to live in New York for grad school - I looked at a couple of schools based on location myself. Perhaps the best (albeit most obvious) advice I received was to go to the school with the better reputation/funding/program rather than the school with the better name. That being said Mizzou has an awesome J program - too bad you already turned them down
I have been looking at houses in the Norman area and housing in OKC is cheaper. I was wondering if anyone had thoughts about living in OKC vs. living in Norman?
So I realize that it is a little early for people to start making decisions, but I figured it would be interesting to see where people are not going. I know I won't be going to Nebraska. That being said I am still thinking about my three other options. Also, those waiting for funding or wait listed might also get a sense of hope from a thread like this.
You might try contacting a person at one of the schools that you have gotten to know a little bit to check on your status. I was going crazy waiting so I decided to call and it turns out that they had a flood in one of their buildings and were just behind sending out notifications. Most likely you don't have anything to worry about (I know you've heard that before - but it is true).
I have been accepted to Denver and Oklahoma - waiting on funding though. I haven't heard from Nebraska or Ohio. Has anyone applied to any of these schools? I haven't seen anything about them on here. Good luck to anyone who is waiting!
