pears got a reaction from csibaldwin in Sh*t people say when you are applying to grad school
bedmas: at least you have the patience to pull off a pokerface! my reactions are starting to look more and more like grumpy cat's every day...
them: "why would you want to go there? i mean, it's a state school. you're smarter than that. why not just go to (insert hyper-competitive ivy program here) instead?"

Infiltrate the school, hide in the floorboards, bribe students.

pears reacted to RandiZ in Confirming receipt of an offer?
I'm hoping to be in your shoes soon. Since the email advises to email the POI, I would do so sooner rather than later for the same reasons we want to know as soon as possible. I would also thank them and say that I will let them know my final decision as soon as I have one. I would only say that I'm weighing other offers if it were true. Congrats!!

Let's just share the bottle and call it even lol
You're right, that would be one hell of a party. If I'm drinking now, I'll really have to drink after my interview. I have a feeling that the wait after that will be worse than the wait now.
Must. Go. Buy. More. Liquor.

Hahahahaha! You mean to tell me that members of admissions committees have lives while we are sitting here hitting refresh all the live long day? So unfair.
Oh, all right: they deserve weekends, too. It's not their fault we are obsessing instead of enjoying our Sunday!

pears got a reaction from callista in Rewarding or treating yourself?
congrats to everyone who's gotten interviews and admits!
this thread inspired me a bit, so i treated myself to a new bastard file and a marshalltown margin trowel (a gift to myself for my first acceptance)! plus, a cold beer, of course.. standard archaeologist for ya
