I was accepted in mid-February, which really surprised me. Are you considering their offer? I like Auburn well enough, and it's an excellent fit for me, but I'm worried about their ranking.
stamocl Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Likewise! What program did you apply to and are you MA or PhD? I'm considering their offer, but am leaning heavily towards my other offers. You?

I've received better offers but Auburn has a faculty member who really interests me, so I'm going to visit.

Unfortunately, funding is a huge part in the decision process for me and a fully funded offer elsewhere is pulling me in the other direction. I'm interested to hear your thoughts after your visit!
lworthington Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I applied to Auburn's MA lit program and have been waitlisted...still waiting to hear back.

Sorry to come from nowhere, but I have a vested interest in the outcome.

Their funding for MA students, considering the relatively low cost of living in Auburn, the preparation they provide for teaching classes, and the TA workload itself, is generous--especially because it's difficult to find programs with strong departments that fund their MAs.

Glad that things worked out well! What's your field of interest?
