Ok so here it goes. I got one acceptance and one rejection letter today. As it stands:
University of Minnesota: NO
Arkansas University: Yes (No Financial Aid Package)
University of Oklahoma:?
Oklahoma State University: Yes, and they have offered full tuition waivers, an Assistantship and a Fellowship (enough money that I do not have to take a second job, or pull out loans!)
Kansas State University: Yes, and they have offered me their Chapman Fellowship of $25,000 for 4 years. I would have to pay in-state tuition and fee's with this money. But the program does not have a big emphasis on U.S. West or American Indian history.
University of Nebraska: NO
Make sure to check back. I'll update the list as soon as I get the letters in. I also did not get any financial aid package, but I was told that it would soon follow in a separate letter. That will also help determine where I go.
This also means that I need to get out of Baylor. I defend my thesis on March 16th. So it is down to the wire. As soon as the thesis is done I will be able to blog freely without worrying that I could be spending my time on my thesis.
OK! I'm going back to the thesis!
Update, March 2. Jaycie is seven today! Happy Birthday Jaycie!
Also, I will have my completed and final draft of the thesis done this Friday and delivered to all of the committee members so that they have a week with it before the defense. I bought a suit to wear, and I am super excited about wearing it. Look at the pictures below. Mary Beth also took pictures of my impromptu work station i've made for myself in the kitchen. It gives you an idea of the kind of mess I have been in for the last couple of months!
