Ok, so I have not uploaded my pictures yet, mainly because I have been trying to do the work for my classes. This is not abnormal. But what is making it painfully more difficult is the fact that I have started hearing word from various of the grad schools that I have applied to. I can already tell this is going to be an interesting choice.
Washington University in St. Louis has also responded positively, and has perhaps made the best financial offer thus far: tuition scholarship plus a fellowship for the first year and then becoming a teaching assistantship.
Ohio State University has accepted me, and has offered a teaching assistantship for nine months of the year, potential for summer employment. Tuition is waived.
The University of Texas at Austin has called (in fact, it was the very professor that I would be working with who called me on a Friday afternoon) and invited me to come there the first week of March, when they will discuss their offer in more detail. What I know so far: it involves a fellowship for the first year.
UMASS contacted me this weekend via email, saying that I have been accepted, but that they don't know yet if I can even be offered a teaching assistantship, but there are other jobs available (i.e. writing center). That's not a good sign.
And nothing from Yale. There will probably be nothing from Yale. Oh well.
So now the great visiting begins. The 29th I got to St. Louis for the weekend. That following week I will be going to Austin for a day or two. The following week after that is our spring break, during which I hope to at least visit Columbus if not also Amherst. Sigh. This is hard. I was really hoping at least one or two would say "no" so that there weren't so many places to narrow down. This could get difficult.
But I guess this is better than having all of them say "no."
