I would love to visit, but I'm not sure what their policy on waitlisters visiting is.

My POI is my advisor from undergrad and she hasn't mentioned anything about a campus visit. Expand On 3/7/2019 at 3:37 PM, grizzlybers said: @cassidyaxx @StamfordCat I'm also on the UConn waitlist. Did you all receive any word on campus visits either officially or from POIs? Expand Current UConn student here! UConn doesn't do an official visit, so that's why you haven't heard anything. We will host if you want to come and visit, though (not sure about waitlisters. I'd ask.). And not to be a downer, but they're probably not going to dip into the waitlist this year because they're trying really hard to make this year's cohort smaller.

hgtvdeathdrive Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 just got the acceptance to UChicago's MAPH with $10.5k scholarship. feels like someone threw a handful of nickels at me havemybloodchild, Musmatatus, conraddy and 5 others 6 2

vondafkossum Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I also received the same offer for Chicago’s MAPH but with a $30k scholarship—and I thought *that* was ridiculous when I scrolled to see the tuition is $60k (just the tuition!!). When half of your offer letter is how to pay for your program, you have to realize that what you’re doing is completely out of touch with reality. Who fills these program slots, and how are they perceived when/if they apply to PhD programs? amu02 and Fedallah 2

havemybloodchild Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Got my “no thanks” from the MAPH program...how can it hurt to get rejected from a program you never intended to attend and didn’t even apply to?
dilby Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I also got (and immediately turned down) the MAPH offer. Me @ Chicago: tacocat211, amphilanthus, trytostay and 8 others 11
jadeisokay Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 it's pricey but looking like my only acceptance this cycle.
trytostay Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) I got a 30k scholarship to the MAPH program. It felt good filling out the rejection survey. Just a reminder to never allow someone to make you doubt your own worth! Sorry if that sounded preachy I am just ~~** emotional **~~ Edited March 8, 2019 by trytostay vondafkossum and thismortalcoil 2
StarkDark1 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I also got into the MAPH with a 10.5K scholarship. How many people/what percentage get into this program? Seeing so many acceptances. I feel like MAPH would be a good stepping stone to a top-notch PHD, but 50K tuition is ridiculous. What does everyone everyone know about MAPH and placements? I'm half way considering taking out more loans because UChicago is such a great college. But also feeling like I'm being swindled.

StarkDark1 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 How does anyone afford 60,000 for tuition + 30,000 for living expenses when most of the scholarships are 10,000 to 30,000? It's jaw-dropping. ChunkyMonkey 1

It's jaw-dropping. Expand independent wealth and/or loans. The "scholarships" they offer seem pretty clearly designed to entice people who are down on their luck to spend tens of thousands of dollars and fund the graduate students the school actually cares about. "Well at least I'm not paying the full $60k!" It sort of makes me sick to imagine that there are people who aren't on this board who think they've been given a lifeline. Honestly, the apparently predatory nature of this program seems at odds with Chicago's reputation for excellence. I imagine 10 years or so from now, when our generation is fully entrenched in academia, this is not going to be a good look. Edited March 9, 2019 by dilby amphilanthus and Hard times! 2

jadeisokay Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 are there other sites besides upenn cfp for conference/journal submission info? love cfp but the organization of the site sometimes bugs me.
