Finished my first ever session as a grad clinician today!

My last school finally responded to me earlier today. Although it was a rejection, I breathed a sigh of relief because this enables me to finally make my decision. I'm going to stay with my current post-bacc program, Cal State Los Angeles! Relieved.
 
My only bittersweet reservation lies with my disappoint/anger for my friends who haven't heard such good news. I wish them and everyone else who is still waiting, the best. Please hang in there and know that there is more than one path to your goal and that path is rarely clear. If there's one thing I can share, it's a quotation that my cousin/mentor shared with me when he was riding with Lance Armstrong a few years back: "Never straight, always forward."
 
Just keep pushing forward.

Congrats on your acceptance, jeffmooo!

Received some good news from my target school, CSU Los Angeles.. Although I'm waiting on one more school (and a waitlist), I feel relieved because this was my goal from the very beginning.. So grateful for the opportunity and I'm really quite overwhelmed! Wishing nothing but the best for everyone out there.. Just remember, our goals are within eyeshot but the paths leading there are never straight..

Because you're a gentleman and a scholar, Jeff! Duh.

CONGRATS!! 2/2 yo!

Boulder accepted me! OMG, I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off of my shoulders.

That's why I locked down my FB, Twitter and Instagram accounts during this whole process. Although nothing really reflects negatively on me, my perspective may not be the same as someone else's.

I got wait listed for SDSU! I can't believe they had so many applicants, thats nuts. I'm stoked to be on the waiting list!!! 

Got the SDSU email about an hour ago too.. Surprisingly waitlisted since I considered this my "reach" school.. Grateful to be considered and yeah, 550 applicants is a bit ridiculous.. We'll see what unfolds over the next month or so..

As for Fullerton, still no word yet.. Hopefully some concrete good news for all of us soon!!

SpeechBanana, glad you enjoyed the faculty as CSULA! I love them too and it's been a pleasure being a post-bacc student there for the past two academic years.. I ultimately hope to stay there solely because I've grown to love the professors.. If you get in and accept, you will not be disappointed!

You think someone is BS-ing? Or maybe it's someone from their own school, so they might have heard first maybe through a faculty person?


Sometimes I wonder if half the stuff posted on the admissions page is pure BS.. I spoke to a professor about my worries about grad school, and mentioned GradCafe, and he said, "Yes, I believe everything I read on the internet, too." Made me think twice about just taking all that info in at face value   I wonder if all the GPA/GRE posts are inflated, too..
 
 
But anyway, GOOD LUCK TO SD APPLICANTS!!!
and GOOD LUCK TO FULLERTON APPLICANTS!!!
AND GOOD LUCK TO LOS ANGELES INTERVIEWEES THIS WEEKEND!!!

Celebrating this pie day with my first acceptance to the University of Houston!
 
Still not sure if I'm going to accept or deny it since it all depends on my home-state results but I'm just happy to know that I'm going somewhere this Fall

CONGRATS!!!!!

Haha. Now I'm picturing you sitting at your computer, pressing F5 starting at 11:59.

Houston's letter came in today.. I got in! Depending on how my CA schools pan out, I may be moving in-land in the Fall!

I'm out of upvotes, but CONGRATS, jeffmooo!
