received generic acceptance email from MNSU admission system on 02.20 and a personalized TA offer from Dr. Henderson Lee on 02.21 for teaching load 1-1. This incredible (however low-key) program deserves to be better known, with tuition waiver + 1-1 TAship + small cohort + affordable grad housing (no waitlist, deadline) + 4k meal plan for the WHOLE YEAR (2 semes). The supports I received were gold, from Prof. McCormick (for application), Dr. Bakke (for TA), and staff from residential life and finance.

Received the call from Prof. Vollmer on the night of 27th from a different time zone. He said kindly that he had enjoyed reading my story, which felt like a dream (and an encouraging reality). The application process and admission were smooth, attentive, and non-intrusive during these times of stress for applicants. The timeline of events really matched what was stated in the generic confirmation email I received after submitting my application. (On a side note, I have never experienced a better IT system than what they run at VT, truly state-of-the-art.)

received generic admission offer from MNSU system on Feb 20, followed by a TA offer by Dr. Henderson Lee for teaching load 1-1. Such an incredible program (however low key) with full tuition waived + 1-1 TAship + small cohort + long list of student/faculty publication. Additionally no reg. deadline for grad housing & 4k unlimited meal plan for the WHOLE YEAR. I have to say the support throughout my entire application process was gold, very prompt reply from Prof McCormick (for admission), Dr. Bakke (for TA), and MNSU residential + financial support unit.
