Could anyone attending/ admitted to Buffalo share their exeperience? They don't require an MA, but they seem to be moving toward a habit of mainly accepting students who already hold the degree. I was told there were only two first round admits (for the PhD) this year who did not already have their MA. Many strong candidates were offered a place in their MA program instead.
strokeofmidnight Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 You don't *need* an MA per se (I was accepted 2 years ago with only a BA), but I think that Buffalo does seem to prefer applicants with a fairly developed sense of what they want to study. An MA is often helpful (though not necessary) in the regard.
