Expand We called Boston University and they said they haven't gotten through their first round of applications yet. Apparently they "want to be done by the end of February, but would conservatively estimate decisions coming in March." So, prepare to be in it for the long haul into March!

WildeThing Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I guess I'll post it here, thought it's not really an acceptance. Got a personalized email for NYU on my rejection from the PhD program, but I was accepted to the MA program. All students receive a 50% tuition waiver (not for fees). No teaching or additional funding opportunities. I've asked for more information but without full funding I'm not sure how I would be able to accept it. Edited February 21, 2018 by WildeThing Zooks 1

I think it's also important to note (for me, at least) that I'm also interviewing to be a graduate RA as well, so living expenses would also be covered (meaning less debt/expensive)! Expand That is great! Its a top school so an MA from there would be prestigious and, I'm sure, rigorous. Probably will open new doors! Congrats!
mads47 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I was also admitted to the MA program at NYU with 50% funding. It was my dream school, so I'm kinda sad that it isn't a financially feasible offer. However, they said in the email that most of their successful Ph.D. applicants already have MA degrees, so perhaps a few years from now, I'll have a better shot

Expand Happy to chat about unfunded MAs @WildeThing, if it's something you're going to seriously consider - just shoot me a PM. All of them require a "Here There Be Dragons" approach and some with a side of "Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter."
ashley623 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 I have still heard absolutely nothing so far! I really hope I do soon, as that would alleviate some of the job stress I'm currently feeling.

Akillesheel Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Hey everybody, just found this place! I got the same offer from NYU. I also have a PhD acceptance to Illinois, so I can't in good conscience choose NYU (both have professors well-suited to my research interests), but damn if New York isn't enticing.
Cormacc Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 First acceptance to the NYU M.A. program!!! After so many rejections I was prepping for the worst. I'm still waiting on Rutgers to tell me yes/no before I find out if I have a PhD option, so I will also be considering the risk of the financial M.A. plunge. I might honestly just do it, though. I'm really happy with myself for having gotten something for my effort!! Zooks 1
