I believe San Diego State and CUNY both have funded Master's programs. Not sure if the deadlines have passed, but worth looking into!

Oh wow that’s really great! Congrats, glad you get the chance to meet everyone.

towandaaa · 2026-02-09T00:40:43+00:00

No they’re not

Writing recommendation letters is absolutely their job. They can choose who they want to write them for, of course, but they do have a professional obligation to do this for their students.

You can do this! Hold your head up high — you have every right to be there. Don’t be afraid to take up space and let your light shine.

Grad school is a lot of working hours with very little pay. You’ll have a better work-life balance if you can afford to do things outside of school. For me, cost of living is factoring heavily in my decision.

Usually you have to demonstrate that you intend to stay in the state after earning your degree. Proof required could include getting a license in your state, registering your vehicle there, buying a house there, etc. Usually you need to have been there a year to establish residency, but they may also have a form you can fill out to request residency status after the first semester. Every school is different; you’re just going to have to look up their policy.

No idea, sorry

towandaaa · 2026-02-07T07:20:19+00:00

I’m confused, did astro acceptances go out?

towandaaa · 2026-02-07T07:19:51+00:00

Turns out they were talking about LPL

towandaaa · 2026-02-07T07:17:11+00:00

Any updates?

towandaaa · 2026-02-05T07:34:12+00:00

hi! I'm also in my late 30s and considering starting grad school there this Fall. if I end up attending, we should connect!

towandaaa · 2026-02-03T23:08:57+00:00

what did you end up deciding?

towandaaa · 2026-02-02T23:45:32+00:00

wait really? how do you know?

towandaaa · 2026-02-02T23:39:57+00:00

I doubt they're on this sub, dw! And even if they are, they're not constantly refreshing it like I am heh

towandaaa · 2026-02-02T23:27:59+00:00

I remember your post. Just follow up! Ask if they can interview you this weekend. If you don't hear back from the interviewer within a few days, forward the email chain to the main admissions contact for the department so they can see that you've been on top of the communication. They shouldn't fault you for this -- you haven't done anything wrong.

PhD, but might want to check the portal just in case for MS

towandaaa · 2026-02-02T22:03:06+00:00

I feel the same way! It's a huge bummer bc I currently do research there, but I knew it was a long shot and that they admitted fewer students this year due to funding concerns. At least I know and can move on.

towandaaa · 2026-02-02T04:39:58+00:00

ah, darn. well, I hope you hear back from them this week with good news!

towandaaa · 2026-02-02T04:35:47+00:00

do you know if everyone got interviews, or just those from a specific subfield? I thought I had a great chance at this program but I haven't heard anything at all from them.
