Wowww you're the next door neighbour:)) Yeahhh those days at RPI will be great, we should try to enjoy the rest of the summer there because it's going to freaking cold lol. I'm sending you my email address via PM so we can keep in touch in times we cannot here.

I hope the "id pages" do not include those pages for extension of validity. The rest will all be fine. I'm from Turkey, where are you from? My name is Gokhan by the way and you're Simona obviously:) Nice meeting you!

Coool! Do they mention any passport information on that letter? I'm wondering if they need a proof that our passports are valid. Mine is expired and it would be a headache to extend it since there is military obligation in my home country.

Thank you! Congratulations to you too! On the offer it says that we are going to receive additional information from both the department and admissions office. Have you received anything yet?

Oook. Got the funding letter and acceptance letter today, signed and mailed. It's finally all over. On the offer letter it says that it should be returned by May 5th otherwise they will assume that i declined the offer. Funny i received it on May 12th. But anyways that's not going to be a problem after this daunting process..

Called today and got the good news, graduate school approved the admission and i'm told that my file is in the hands of the graduate admissions office (oh gosh, it will never end)and that they will send me an email about the admission decision and funding in a day or two then a following letter in mail. Do you have any idea who decides the funding decision? The department or the graduate admissions? The last thing i would want to hear is an admission with no funding! By the way, are you going to concentrate in finance?

Well i call Ms. Thompson rather than emailing.. i will call today again and see if there are any news. She would send me a quick email if there was a progress though. Well anyway i'm going to send an email to Mr. Francis if i can't get an answer today. They have to rush because i will need an I-20 from them by next month. I live in NYC so i'm planning to visit them too right after they would approve me:)

I've been in contact with Ms. Thompson - the manager in the student services - since the beginning of the process and she told me that the program director and co-director sent emails to the dean of graduate school and not to worry because there are other people waiting for approval too especially in the MBA program. I do not know if there are anybody else waiting like me for PhD. I'm not sure about talking to the director because i haven't received any response to my emails that i've sent before, not about the graduate school's approval though.
