Full Funding. TM: cjw10

nearly 200 applicants applying to our graduate program. With a target PhD class size of only 7-8 incoming PhD students, successful candidates represented only about 8% of the total PhD applicant pool.

I've known for a while that I was accepted because I've been in contact with my adviser, but I was informed that I have 5 years full funding! :)

Already accepted. Received an email with sweet, sweet funding offer attached.

" I am sorry to inform you that your application was not among those selected by our admissions committee." This was a college that gave admits with aid to seniors with similar profile as mine. Must be the recession.

I called and asked about my status. I have an acceptance to someplace I am happy about, so I just want to hurry up and hear back from the other schools I applied to.

fail.

3rd post: Rec'd email from grad office asst apologizing for the admissions letter for PhD program, clarified my acceptance is for MA program (which has no funding). I'll be the token MA student this fall as they usually have one or two.

Still no news... Any updates?

any idea about UI's musicology program? anyone got an offer?

2nd post: Last week I rec'd email+letter accepting me to MA program altho I applied for PhD. Second letter arrived 3/17 accepting me to PhD program. (???)

Rec'd. e-mail (pdf), then hard copy via post. Still no word on funding...

Expletive... first choice, best program, ONLY program that actually had a faculty member that works in my friggin field.

As expected
