    Andean Pat reacted to midnight in GRE ETS Score Analysis   
    Yeah, I'm curious what the deal is about this whole thing. I'm surprised ETS offers it in the first place since it's ACTUALLY HELPFUL and FREE (haha), and then it's impossible to find on the site unless you already know it exists.
     
    Anyway, anyone who's considering a retake should examine their diagnostic results. Incredibly helpful data there.

    Me too, really newbie! I think we are all here because we need some action that is not given in the websites of our apps. 
     
    See you around1

    So you're saying that most of the universities I applied to in the UK won't ask me that!? YAY!

    It's does seem like this forum is picking up some more users and enthusiasm (read: neuroses).

    No, I'm sure your future advisor will find something else to be disappointed about over those 5 years. Mine sure has... ; )

    If you are a strong applicant, programs will expect that you will have other choices beside them. You don't need to feel bad or apologize for this. Acknowledge receipt of the offer and as Bearcat1 suggests, tell them that you're strongly considering it and will let them know as soon as you can. Of course, only do this as long as you are truly considering the offer. As soon as you've decided to decline, sleep on it a night or two to be sure, but don't stall. The funding that has been allocated to your offer could be re-offered to someone on the wait list. (To be sure, you don't need to feel bad about holding up someone else's potential offer as long as you're truly undecided; but don't hold it up once you've made up your mind.)

    Yes, I wish I had the time to freak out about my apps - I'll be too busy teaching, studying for comps, and finishing my MA thesis! So basically, gradorbust, we've already lost our minds. Welcome!

    No, everyone feels this way. Sometimes, you'll think over your app, and feel supremely confident. And minutes later, you could be freaking out. It's done! Time to wait and see.

    So today was the cut off for most of my applications, and I got them all in earlier this week. I am going to wait a week to make sure all documents were found(since I sent in my transcripts and stuff early) however this is still nerve wracking. I am the only person I know who thinks I wont get in and am already panicking.

    How are the rest of you handling it? First thing I made sure of was I am not going to look at any of my written submissions, because I know that if I look at them I will find something and I will freak out about it.

    Andean Pat reacted to Wella in TOEFL scores?   
    You can ask the admission offices to see if it is Okay.
    However it takes usually 1 month for ETS to report your score to grad schools. Count that in.

    Andean Pat got a reaction from gnomechomsky22 in Note taking and reading....how to keep everything organized?   
    Hi! I do take a lot of notes, but I am slow. I have done them both: hand & OneNote. this program is VERY comfortable, you can then edit it and save it as pdf, word, etc. I usually then add my own comments when I read the material. Hope it helps!

    Andean Pat reacted to Mungkwan in Bad form to mention a Scholar at another university in an SOP?   
    I think it is okay to mention her, but in a wiser way. You can say that she is an insipiring scholar when you are composing your thesis. and give reasons. But do not talk too much on that. And you should spend more space talking about the scholars in the school you are applying to, explaining what their focuses are and how they might influence your development in your field of interest.
