soñando Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 i was accepted to a program, offered a ta spot, and a small a moving stipend. i was excited about the offer and even though they didn't offer me a paid campus visit, it was one of my top choices and thought it is worth the money to see the campus, meet the faculty, etc. before making a decision (i have other attractive offers that i am considering). i emailed to see when i could visit to see the campus, etc., however a week has passed and nobody has replied to me....do i email again? give them a call? keep waiting?
Dr.Stario Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I would email again, faculty often get over 200 emails a day (trust me, I have seen first hand), so its likely that it may have slipped past. If you email again, and still do not receive a response, maybe try another person.
soñando Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 thanks! i just hate to be that annoying email...though i guess they can't blame me for my interest in visiting a campus where i have been accepted, right?
soñando Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 you got a moving stipend?! How would one go about inquiring about this? i don't think you can ask for the stipend...i think it was just their little extra. it's not much, $1,000, but it sure would help!
drpepper711 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 ask the grad secretary rather than coordinator, they are more inclined to reply.
