Discrepancy Between Unofficial and Official Offers

[turtlepower]

Hey smart peeps,

I was accepted to a fully funded MA, and at the time I was notified that I was waitlisted for the PhD program. I accepted the MA offer without discussing the PhD waitlist in my email correspondence with the DGS.

Today, I received my official acceptance letter, dated 4/11, to the "doctoral program."

I suppose I should just contact the school, as mistakes can happen. Anyone have any insight? Am I an MAer or a PhDer?

I would email the DGS and ask for a clarification about your acceptance. Hope you got into the Ph.D.!
