Davida Charney and some of my POI just emailed me, and I know I need to email back, but I can't stop shaking to think of a coherent sentence to write back. Oh amazing you're fancy! I just got an email from the grad coordinator, which I'm building myself up to respond to even though I've just gotta be like THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, an hour tops But the offer isn't going anywhere yet. You better make sure you've regained at least part of your coherency before sending an email back!

Yeah I'm a firm believer in minimizing emails so I'll just respond when I've figured out if I can attend the visiting days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Good tip! Not one that I always follow because I'm impulsive, but yeah the offer isn't going anywhere and it's still early (even more so in Texas!). Make a few calls, scream and cry and laugh a couple of hours before thanking them and asking when you'll have more info haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to tell one of my letter writers (a UT-A alum) and talked to her about the program and everything. This included walking up a large hill to walk from the parking lot to her office, so I got a lot of that nervous energy out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't say about if it was in one wave This is interesting! If true, that could mean they're expecting to cut things back. According to this, they accepted 48 out of 248 applicants for an enrollment size of 18. I'm wondering if they expect a lot of people to either pass on the offer or if the waiting list is used often.

JustPoesieAlong Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Just got word that I will be awarded a fellowship from TAMU! I think it's a pretty swell offer. I'm trying not to get super sentimental, but Texas is my home state and I'm feeling drawn to the idea of going home...
