Congrats! You've given me hope

skybythelight let's hold hands for UMD and UMich and wish really hard. I'll take a waitlist at this point!

Out of context, this sentence is amazing.

KeelyMK: I love that you're here to put everything into perspective for us. Keep doing what you're doing.

Congrats! Are you the phone post? Any info to share for us hopefuls?

Hey! Be nice.

Consider yourself lucky you can live and work legally in the same country as your guy! Good luck to you, too.

I wrote and asked. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything! And on a totally unrelated note--who knew Michigan and Maryland would wait so long to notify? NOT THIS GUY.

I've been long distance with my guy for the past 18 months or so and my acceptances to PhD programs will also dictate whether or not that continues. I basically have to stop myself from thinking about it before I have all the pieces of the puzzle...because there's no use worrying about something that might not be a problem. Are any of your other schools close by? Could you commute?

I don't think they have one? I've never seen one. I'm waiting for my rejection, too.

Can't remember which thread had the discussion about partners/significant others but I just discovered that Michigan is the number one program for my bf's field. And he's been accepted. The pressure is seriously on now. I need lots of good vibes, please!

I tend not to use Mr./Ms./Dr. just in case I get it wrong (for whatever reason). First and last name is always safest, I think.

I think it's a personal preference. I always refer to people by first name and last name (at least initially. Then I see how they sign their emails).

The letters are logged in the original application.

Eek sounds like a definite no for me. Good luck to the domestics!
