JBrwn Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If any of you are former fellows, how competitive is the Kline fellowship? Do they give the fellowship to only people who have a certain gpa or specific attributes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave me $16,000 scholarship, which doesn't feel great since the tuition alone is $55,000. Is that per semester? I just got offered $19,000 at Pittsburgh and wasn't sure what the average amount of aid offered was for grad students in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to several two year programs I applied to NYU on December 20, got accepted January 25 with a 15k scholarship per year. I applied to Fordham on January 31, got accepted February 8 (fast!) and received my scholarship information a day later (February 9) which was 3k a year. I applied to Hunter on January 20, and the application still hasn't been marked as completed :( Even though Fordham's scholarship was relatively small, it is still far cheaper than NYU. I am still hoping for Hunter, but at this rate the timeline may not work out... We are in the exact same position, like down to scholarship money. Do you have any idea how you'll choose between these schools (assuming an acceptance to Hunter)? I am feeling so torn and like I have no clue how to make a decision that isn't purely financial, although maybe that is the best way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, you should get your degree the cheapest way you can (through an accredited program). I don't know why I feel so drawn to NYU! It must be the marketing It's so expensive though. If I had gotten into Hunter by now, or thought I'd hear back soon, I'd wait it out...but I really don't know. I change my mind on a daily basis. Do you know what you're leaning towards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah totally, that is my understanding as well. I also definitely have stars in my eyes about NYU that I suspect is entirely down to marketing and their location. Hunter is the biggest schlep from my apartment, and I've heard horror stories about their administration. And then again I also find Fordham's academics interesting and it is the second closest after NYU and of course cheaper but not as cheap... I feel like I'm changing my mind daily and hoping for some clarity!! I don't expect to hear from Hunter until March or April based on friends experiences so there's lots of time to think. I expect I'll be asking both NYU and Fordham for extensions while I wait to hear from Hunter. Edited February 11, 2022 by pbutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it always takes me to the recommender page again and then if I click next, it takes me to a page to upload further documents. Where would the decision even show up on the portal?
