procrastinatrice Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi guys, As I am trying to reconcile myself to the idea that I'll probably never get off that waitlist at Northwestern, I started getting more and more anxious about my BU acceptance (my only acceptance so far). They said I will hear in March or April about my funding decision when they sent me the acceptance mid-February... and still no word. Did any of you hear from them about funding? I definitely won't be attending without funding, even if it means I have to do go through this hellish process again next year. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lblcclcp Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi I also got the admission from BU this year. NO funding. I had been told that there are only 2 or 3 available funding this year for at least 35 students to compete for. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundaymonday Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I also got into BU, but was offered no funding. 2-3 packages for 35 admitted applicants? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procrastinatrice Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks for the information!!! Of course this is kind of depressing... Did they tell you guys that you were definitely not getting any funding? Or did they just not say anything at all? They wrote to me saying the grad school chair and the dept. chair would get together and decide on the funding...but that was a long time ago and the numbers are clearly not very encouraging...

lblcclcp Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 To procrastinatrice The department did tell me that I was not offered funding. However, good luck for your funding. To sundaymonday You don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireworks82 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi, Did anyone recently hear about funding? When I called them they said that they will know around the end of the month, which was March. And I also learned that if I don't hear anything by April 15, it means I did not get any. I am really curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procrastinatrice Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 I called them so many times but they don't pick up their phone. Classic. They probably notified the few people they'll fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireworks82 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I talked to them on Friday and they said that April 15 is the deadline for people with funding to accept the offer. April 16 would be the last day to expect a positive answer, imagining that some people would reject the offer. However the lady did not sound very encouraging. I also felt like they notified the few people they are funding. However, some might turn down the offer at the last minute..That is my hope..Considering that it is the only school that accepted me!
