selecttext got a reaction from surefire in Canadian school applicants
Didn't I just say that? I received no letter, only an official offer by e-mail which included my stipend.

selecttext got a reaction from Tuck in Paralyzed by indecision. Help!
it seems odd to me that your options would be so diametrically opposed. usually people would use their educational objectives and career goals in determining which schools to apply to and not simply role the dice. Maybe you should re-read your SOPs to remind yourself of why you applied for graduate school. Obviously no one can make this decision for you and I can't even appreciate how one might be of service.

selecttext reacted to Abc_adams in Funding at second choice vs. No Funding at First choice
Depends on how rich you are. If you are poor, choose the funded program. If you are rich, choose the unfunded one. (To determine if you are rich or poor, answer the following question - Do I have a butler who helps me dress up in a batsuit.)

Just received word from the UBC awards department that I got NSERC. No word on what kind (PGS/CGS), I applied for my PhD in bio. WOO Good luck!

Meh, it's better to get used to writing bs early in one's research career.

selecttext got a reaction from WhyPhD in Canadian school applicants
you might be on the wait list for some months now. rather than squirm to UCal, start e-mailing the other schools. Ask if you could know you application status as you are already considering other offers. If you don't hear back favourably and quickly, I suggest accepting the offer from Calgary.

selecttext got a reaction from intirb in Choosing a school: Adviser vs Program
People tend to write off programs but you need to also consider the caliber of graduate students around you. For example, it is unmotivating to attend departmental seminars where your peers ask an endless stream of preposterous questions.

selecttext reacted to selecttext in Talking it out with you guys; deciding between my 2 top choices
You obviously cannot commute 4 hours per day so either you move or you forget about option A. I can't even believe that you are considering having a kid and attending graduate school 2 hours away - does not compute.
