Accepted into Master's Program with No Funding

[Lcussen]

I got accepted into my top choice for Master's programs today! (Yay!) However, she told me at this time they would not be able to offer me any funding. She said this could change if the school is given more money to allot to students or if someone who is offered funding declines the offer. Not sure what I should do about this... any advice? Are there other options besides funding that I can look into?

I'm just on here to learn what I can about applying to clinical programs next year so not sure I will have the best advice for you. But isn't April 15th the deadline to notify schools? If yes, do you have to make a decision right away? If there is a possibility of getting funding and you don't have to make a decision now, I think I would wait and see if anything changes. Congrats on your offers! FWIW, my roommate went to the UD M.A. program and really liked it.

Thanks! Do you know if your roommate was offered funding?

Yes, she had funding. She doesn't remember the stipend amount (it was 5 years ago), but got a stipend and tuition remission. Good luck!
