lotusseed Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I got notice as well. They've given me the option to choose to be admitted in September or January. Good job, everyone! I hope to see you all there! Congratulations! Actually I do not know whether I have been accpeted or not, I have to wait until mid-June, as it is said in the email "We have two intakes a year, and always forward a number of strong applicants from the September cohort for consideration for the January intake. The decisions are made in mid-June." Anyway, good luck to all!
Daaz Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Accepted an offer to Illinois. Looking forward to going to a football game~~ Edited March 18, 2011 by Daaz
Jadzia Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Is anyone going to Michigan? I am still waiting on a decision from them. (I applied after the priority deadline). I am a non-traditional student returning to school and just took my GRE in February. I am so hoping I get accepted- it's the only place I want to go, as I am more interested in the social computing specialization, as opposed to a straight library science path. I am so nervous!

Jadzia Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I was accepted at Michigan. Yay! I am so excited. Looking forward to meeting my future classmates next weekend at Visiting Days. Is anyone here planning on attending?
Weepsie Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I was accepted at Michigan. Yay! I am so excited. Looking forward to meeting my future classmates next weekend at Visiting Days. Is anyone here planning on attending? Congratulations. I've started applying for second jobs and jobs for when my current contract is finished. to try and be able to accept UBCs offer.
lydibird Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 I was accepted at Michigan. Yay! I am so excited. Looking forward to meeting my future classmates next weekend at Visiting Days. Is anyone here planning on attending? I am! I'm also looking forward to meeting people, although I haven't decided where I'll be attending. Hopefully the visit will make that a bit more clear. Michigan is my top choice at the moment.
Laure Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Accepted to Illinois and Maryland - should hear from Wisconsin today, but with everything that's going on I don't know if I want to go there even if I do get accepted. Waiting on Texas and Indiana, but they're pretty much out of the running as IL and MD were my top choices. As for my decision, it's pretty much program vs. money. I'd be doing Maryland's new HCIM program, so very focused and requires a capstone and an internship, and is in a metro area which is good for finding employment once I'd finished with the program. BUT it's twice the cost of Illinois (I'm in-state), Chambana's COL is also much lower, and I have a guaranteed job there (if I don't get an assistantship) since it's my alma mater. Maryland also doesn't have a tuition freeze, so the cost may even be more than I anticipate. Right now I'm learning towards Illinois, for the money, and it's not like I'm compromising that much - it's still a top ranked program. I'm just worried how a broader degree with less practical experience will affect my employment outlook at the end of it all.
theodidactus Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 my employers, all current or former librarians, say to focus much more on cost and convenience. Where you went isn't nearly as important as who you are. I was just accepted to the University of Wisconsin, and will probably be attending there. If anyone's looking to share an apartment, I'm looking for something cheap with lots of bookshelves.
maharajette Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I was just accepted to the University of Wisconsin, and will probably be attending there. If anyone's looking to share an apartment, I'm looking for something cheap with lots of bookshelves. Congratulations! I received notification this morning that I'm on the waitlist for the same program. Best of luck to you.
RachZ Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I was accepted yesterday to UNC! Yay! They were my first choice! Still don't know about the financial details. I still haven't heard anything from USC, UTenn, or North Texas. Has anyone else applied/ been accepted at those schools?
jph5125 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Is anyone heading to Indiana? I will be attending their Information Sci program, which is in the same department and shares coursework with the library science degree.
theodidactus Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Can anyone tell me how funding works? the grad schools aren't exactly forthcoming with that information, and their sites are a pain to navigate. How do we learn how much the program will cost, and how much funding we'll be getting?
Future Librarian Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Is anyone heading to Indiana? I will be attending their Information Sci program, which is in the same department and shares coursework with the library science degree. I very likely am. I haven't heard about a deadline to decide with them though. Have you?
jph5125 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I very likely am. I haven't heard about a deadline to decide with them though. Have you? When I went to visit I inquired about this and the program director (Rhonda Spencer) told me they would send an email or a letter later on with information on how to "confirm" your attendance. Also she told me there was no deposit fee. I would assume the same applies to library science as the two programs are tightly bound together.
falling_leaves Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I heard back from the University of Toronto today
Weepsie Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 UBC said that Sept was unlikely but are formally offering me january entry. I need to find a job asap from sept-dec, or find some source of extra funding. Its either that or learn how to survive without eating as id have enough for fees and rent!
sm2012 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I got into LSU today and will be accepting! Is anyone else going?
jph5125 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Just got financial aid package today from Indiana, 18 credits of tuition remission for the first year! The admissions lady said they wanted to have the first round of offers out by this Thursday the 14th. So if anyone is waiting there is still hope
Future Librarian Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Just got financial aid package today from Indiana, 18 credits of tuition remission for the first year! The admissions lady said they wanted to have the first round of offers out by this Thursday the 14th. So if anyone is waiting there is still hope This is exactly the information I was looking for when I logged on this morning. Fingers crossed I get an email about aid today!!! Had you already accepted admission before they offered you aid?

Had you already accepted admission before they offered you aid? I sent in the admissions acceptance card as soon as they sent it to me (about 3 weeks ago). However, they pretty much knew I was attending before that because I already went to visit their school and indicated I was going.
DePaulBlueDemon Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Hi! I'm new to this community. I will be attending UIUC's GSLIS LEEP program. I got my acceptance email last Tuesday. I promptly accepted!
Krissy Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Hi everyone! I just joined this site, and have applied to Florida State's MLS program. Has anyone else applied there?
bottles Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I was accepted off of the waitlist at Washington yesterday and accepted at North Carolina this morning...no word on finaid for UNC. The roller coaster goes on.
Aglaiya Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I was accepted this morning to UNC Chapel Hill! Nothing about the financial aid.
