ArthChauc Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Any New Mexico applicants around here? They started notifying around this time last year and it made me wonder if anyone knows what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alhemicharka Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I received the admittance letter today. For MA program but they can`t offer me the TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleperson Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I almost applied there but didn't at the last minute. Kinda wish I had. Then again, my reason for not still stands....so...it's all good. About not getting a T.A.-ship (to the above poster and anyone else): things change sometimes. Back in '09 when I got into my M.A. program, I was admitted in February. In April, when I asked about TAships, they said that they were already given out and had no more available. In July, they called me and gave me a TAship. Weird stuff happens with grad admissions, so you just never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthChauc Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Purple is right, that happened to me with my MA as well. You never know. Also, you could find a job at the writing center which is arguably better than teaching with better hours and more face time with students (depending on how you feel about undergrads haha). Congrats on your acceptance though! Did you receive a letter in the mail or was it via email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alhemicharka Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I received an email today. And I`m an international student so I really need the TA, otherwise I can`t afford to do my MA there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleemosonary1 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi! I was accepted a couple days ago but waitlisted for a TAship. Really hope one comes through though because I really like this program. Anyone else get news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthChauc Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'm waitlisted in general--congrats on your acceptance! Can I ask what your emphasis is in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleemosonary1 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 My concentration is in 20th Century American Southwestern Literature. Is UNM one of your top choices? What's your emphasis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eleemosonary1 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Congrats!! Very happy to hear about your good luck! At this point I'm 90% sure I'll be attending UNM (still need to hear from a few other schools though). The only thing really holding me back is that I've been waitlisted for funding. Did you hear any news about funding? I'm thinking of calling sometime this week to inquire about that, but it's probably too soon for them to know.
