UConn

[EricaMarie]

Okay, there's no way only two of us on this forum have applied to UConn.

Anybody else except the Latin Americanist (whose name escapes me at the moment) and myself apply to UConn? Anyone hear anything?

Yep, I applied to UConn and heard back from the DGS on Feb. 26th. I was happy to be admitted for work in early North American history. There hasn't been anything in the mail, but the DGS said the department was offering 5 years (with the department being willing to work something out for a sixth) at $15,000 a year with subsidized benefits. 15 hours a week as a TA or research assistant in return.

If you are looking for any more information I'd be happy to respond in a personal email.

I also applied to UConn. I was emailed over the weekend by the DGS. She informed me that I was named an "alternate for admission" should funding become available and did extend an invitation to Welcome Weekend.

What's the funding situation like at UConn? I was poking around their department website last night and didn't find anything.

Also, KScrooge, what is your specialization? You've applied to many of the same schools I'm planning on applying to next year.

I applied to UConn for the MA, but have heard nothing. After the above, I assume auto reject.
