KennyK Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Yall know how NYU gives certain applicants like their biggest funding package. Is Emerson the same way? Like is it possible they’d fully fund some and get a scholarship, but not others? Or are they known to not fund?

exvat Posted February 27 Posted February 27 24 minutes ago, bibsy said: WashU is also pausing admissions rn. “recent federal guidance that requires careful interpretation” is certainly in regards to recent executive orders declaring no funding will be offered to entities engaged in DEI practices. those orders have been shot down by a federal judge, but the matter will def be escalated to the supreme court, meaning the consequences are just... in limbo. there's been a stringent crackdown on scientific funding, too, which is why WashU is held up - i believe their arts and sciences departments fall under one umbrella? not to mention the existential threat to the DoE. fun times abound. As my friend, whose postdoc applications are being steamrolled by this govt chaos, just texted me: "Lookit this one man ruining the lives of millions." Nauna, DJ Lambchop and pananoprodigy 3

Eloise2897 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) On 3 waitlists now. Hoping the chances are pretty decent that at least one of those will move in my favor within the next 6 weeks 🥲. These are 3 of my 4 top choices, I'm very happy but sooooooo stressed. Edited February 27 by Eloise2897 typo everything bagel lover 1

Last year they emailed a ton of people who weren’t getting funding initially to tell them they were in via batch email

Jane Wyman Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Wait, WashU is emailing people to let them know that the MFA program is definitely on hold for now?

I mean I dont know why they'd stagger them lol but only seeing a few reported so far on the draft sheet
Tinky C. Clown Posted February 27 Posted February 27 8 minutes ago, KennyK said: Did the scholarship cover the entire tuition or just partial? entire. but the grad school has a weird stipulation that once they offer a full scholarship to one candidate and they turn it down, they can’t re-offer it to another student. emerson also has a lot of red flags and they seem hella desperate so i wouldn’t advise anyone to go there lowkey even if it’s your only option programedlove333 1

Hjanep Posted February 27 Posted February 27 3 minutes ago, vilum said: thank you! is it so misleading to think there still hope? Because of how expensive NYC is, I feel like if you get an acceptance not off the waitlist, there’s still a chance of moving up the funding ladder. If you get in off the waitlist (which happens! My only acceptance last year!) no chance for funding
crossingmyfingers1212 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 do we think VT is off the table the stress is STRESSING
choltebito Posted February 27 Posted February 27 hello! I got waitlisted at one of the schools I applied to (yay!) and would like to respond something along the lines of “thanks for keeping me in consideration/I continue to be excited about this program” just to show that I’m still interested. is that advisable, or would a response like that imply that I would definitely go if admitted (which is not necessarily true)? I don’t want to burn the bridge if I am admitted to this school and don’t end up going, but I do like their program and want to keep my options as open as possible… including by getting admitted if I can lol

Definitely do reply! What you wrote above sounds perfect. They often do take enthusiasm into consideration esp if the waitlist is unranked, so it's important to let them know you're excited.

If you don't say 'youre my number 1!' then i don't think it's implied that you're an auto-accept. choltebito, everything bagel lover and Nauna 2 1
choltebito Posted February 27 Posted February 27 perfect, will do! ty both! @pananoprodigy @prufrock_
currahcane Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Anyone else get that (kind of random) update email from UPitt? I didn't receive an interview request from them (But I also didn't see any CNF interviews in the MFA Draft tracker), so I was taking that as a soft r. Has anyone applied with them before and had a similar experience? Kind of confused lol.
seezeegee Posted February 27 Posted February 27 IWW fiction waitlist reported -- I think this means all acceptances are out, and they're notifying waitlists now.
