Currently, I have fully completed two applications and I was denied by one here locally. Even with a GPA of 3.52. However, TESU just called to inform me I was accepted into their MA program. My funding is unusual since I have federal and state funding and student loan repayment programs. I can now use TESU to get my funding and they just end up mailing me a check. I then use the money to take classes at UAF. I really like the Rutgers online MA program and will continue doing the application process. The issue I have is with references since I don’t feel comfortable asking my professors to send more than two.

Do you have a plan for your references? What are they asking for?

I have used up most of my current references. However, I am always taking other classes and those newer professors will be used for additional applications. I have two more to ask in May and I will keep going until I get into something interesting.

Rejected with a GPA of 3.52?? Is this some super elite institution where students with a 3.9-4.0 GPA are accepted? Did they offer any reasons for turning down your application?

They only accept a few people per year and they accepted a few women from Europe. I'm not too worried about it and will get into another here in another department. It will just take some more time.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Most professors have been in your position (needing reference letters) a few times in their lives, and understand that they are a part of the job.

I think your right, however, for me, it's a matter of professionalism. I will ask a few to write several recommendations and some of my colleagues from overseas have helped. I am a little surprised at the amount of time it takes and the waiting process has been very long.

Today I had a meeting with the department chair of my foreign language program. I was told that I needed to consider doing a study abroad program in Germany where I could finish my advanced German for UAF and get some Masters level credit for my Graduate courses in Foreign languages, ancient history, and Archaeology. UAF has an exchange program and I would only have to pay UAF prices. I would be able to apply some of my funding and they said they would help me to get some scholarships.

Can you double check if Rutgers offer online for MA. I asked for online MBA. They does not have 100% online for all the courses. Also if you go for their open event, you can get waive application of $75 fee
