What if nobody accepts me?

Also, anyone know of any programs still accepting applications for funded MAs?

I'm applying to a MA program right now that is unfunded, unfortunately, which means lots more student loan debt

I second this information. I know that Fordham is funded, however, the deadline has past for at least the funding part of it.

I've received a funded offer at University of Louisville. I know that their funding deadline has passed as well. Maybe you can email places and inquire about the likelihood you'd get funded the next year? That way, only half of your masters would be unfunded.

Just want to point out that even if you don't get departmental funding, there may be other graduate assistantships open within the university. Apart from that, there is also financial aid. Departmental funding is lovely if and when it happens, but not getting it isn't the end of the world.

That is very true, often great funding options exist outside of the department. Although, sometimes finding these options can take a lot of digging.
