Applied for PhD, accepted for MA

[jennesy]

I applied for the Social PhD program at NYU and got accepted into their General Psychology MA program. I wasn't offered any funding. Anyone else get this offer? I know of someone who is doing a similar program at University of Chicago for next year.

Has anyone else gone through this program or gotten a similar offer?

My sister is in the general psychology MA program at NYU. She really likes the professors, but decided to try for a counseling MA program at NYU or Columbia instead. If you have specific questions about the program, I can ask my sister.

PETRAL -

Why did she decide to switch to counseling? I'm really curious about funding - did your sister get any? I have no funding (obviously - it's a master's program) but I'm really hesitant to take out that much in loans. Is it possible to be an RA/TA if you're in the master's program?

(I'm sure I'll have other questions, but funding is the main thing on my mind right now...that $24k tuition combined with living in NYC is making me ill...)

Thanks!
