  1. Lol that is ridiculous. If I ever have to such a think I think I would take ISM's advice and look assuredly into the camera lens not the mini view of yourself. If you know anybody who's in broadcasting or anything maybe they can give you some pointers. My guess for a Development Masters is that they want to gauge your interpersonal / conversational skills, even though it's one-way.

    I just visited there a couple weeks ago. There are LOTs of apartment options within walking distance, and house rentals too if you know people. There are even more options within a 10 minute drive, if you want to pay for parking, which will be $30 a month. It's a little bit tight right now because they deconstructed one of the undergrad dorms so there's a throng of undergrads occupying typical grad rentals, but it will hopefully be finished in time for summer lease-signing. Within walking distance studio apts. were $650-700 / mo. and 1-bedrooms around $900 / mo. Vandy's stipends are good (at least for my program, ~$27k), and those grad students don't have much trouble getting by. Also you get free bus passage with student ID. One prof. suggested getting a first-year 8/9 month lease at a nearby place and riding the bus. When you meet your cohort you can probably find some good roommates.

    I also am accepted to WashU, and I'm guessing I'll be at the med center. Did you all just get lucky and know people that were vacating their places, did you call around and look, or use a realty service? Someone mentioned a light rail. Any opinions on whether it's possible to live near a rail stop and function without a car everyday?
  4. I have received offers from two schools for full financial support, and one (UW Madison) is pending financial support. The other 4/7 I'm waiting. These are Med. Phys and BME programs, a little bit more competitive than the majority of physics departments (based on the data I've seen). Undergrad: BS-BA Physics-Philosophy (GPA 3.3, 3.5 in Phys.) MS in Physics (GPA 3.8) GRE - 162 Q (86%), 163 V (91%), 3.5 (30%) Research (>4 yrs): X/gamma-ray detectors, lots of programming skills The Physics GRE is an uninformative waste of time and it's unfortunate that it exists.
