		<title>An Interesting Conversation</title>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I spoke with the POI from one of my top choices, if not my top choice, by Skype. I would have loved to have heard right off the bat, 'We're going to accept you', while I feared that it would have been an inquisition that would determine whether or not I got accepted. Needless to say, I was...]]></description>

		<description>So, I got an email this morning from a POI at one of my top choices asking for a chat tomorrow via Skype. The prof said he has been looking at my application with great interest.</description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I'm a little late to the waiting game, since I had a January 15 deadline for one school, but here I am. As I wait, I plan on reading up some more on academic papers in the field as well as reading a book I got at the conference I went to last month. Reading the tea leaves (and by that I mean looking at when the schools I applied to gave...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, it's not the breakthrough I really want, in a fully funded admission, but it feels pretty close to that at this point. My letter of recommendation writer who hadn't uploaded his letters yet finished uploading them to all the schools I'm applying to earlier this week. The day after I wrote my previous post he submitted a couple and...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I have submitted 7/10 applications so far and should be finished completely later this week (the remaining 3 apps have deadlines in January). Unfortunately one of my LoR writers hasn't submitted any letters yet and 5 of my schools had deadlines on Dec 15th. Every day that passes is making it more unlikely that those 5 apps will be properly...]]></description>

		<title>Headed to a Conference this Weekend</title>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[So this weekend I'm off to Vancouver for NIPS 2010. I won't be presenting but I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to meet people in my field. More than that however a few of the professors that I am interested in will have papers at this conference. I've been in contact with a few of them and hopefully I'll have the...]]></description>

		<title>A Rant About My Transcript</title>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[Well not really a rant, since I'm not much of a 'ranter', but it's a close to a rant as I get.<br /><br />I'm scanning my official transcript to upload it to my applications and I'm noticing that it says my GPA is 0.00!!<br /><br />I graduated before my UG instituted a GPA system, and I graduated with honors. At the time they used an...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[My "war room" is a google docs spreadsheet that I  have been maintaining since about March of this year. In it, I have a sheet with over 60 schools that I looked at initially. Being a numbers person, I assigned a grade to each of the schools based on their reputation, their research (how much they matched mine) and their location. I then...]]></description>

		<title>Maybe we should all keep our goals to ourselves?</title>
		<link>http://forum.thegradcafe.com/blog/25/entry-205-maybe-we-should-all-keep-our-goals-to-ourselves/</link>
		<category></category>
		<description>In this TED talk, Derek Sivers argues that by sharing our goals with others we are giving ourselves a feeling of getting it done, when in fact, we are no closer to actually accomplishing our goal. This feeling of getting closer to your goal hurts your chances of actually reaching your goal since you find yourself less motivated than you should be,...</description>
