  1. I recently saw a post on a blog that mentioned two credit cards for students: Citi Dividend Platinum Select Visa Card for Students This card offers 0% intro APR for the first 7 months that you have the card. You'll get 1% cash back on all purchases with a $300 limit unless using retailers in the Citi Bonus Cash Back Center, in which there is no limit on how much you can earn, plus there will be bonus cash back in certain categories each quarter you enroll, like gas, movies, or grocery shopping, up to 5%. Enrollment is free each quarter. Also, there are no liability charges for unauthorized purchases. There is no annual fee and no overlimit fee Discover it Card for Students The Discover It card has an intro rate of 0% APR for the first 6 months. There is 1% cash back on all purchases, plus for certain categories each quarter you will earn 5% cash back with a $1,500 limit. There is no annual fee and no overlimit fee, plus for those students who are looking to study abroad, there is no foreign transaction fee, making it perfect to use in a different country. There is no late fee for your first payment, and if you do pay late, it won't affect your APR. Plus, you can use your rewards at Amazon.com to pay for whatever items you want, be it textbooks or something not school related.
  2. Just informing that I have given the passwords. Good luck to everyone taking the GRE!
  3. Oh my expensive flight tickets! :(

  4. Hello! I have a password for a GRE online tutorial service as well. Anyone interested PM me. It's valid until October 25, 2013.
  5. Dear Applicant, Thank you again for your application to the PhD program in Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego. Our Admissions Committee and faculty hope to make a few more offers, and your file is still open for consideration. We appreciate that Monday is the deadline to reply to other offers, and we will understand if you choose to move forward and accept one of them, as our pool is still quite competitive. The latest we anticipate finalizing all admissions decisions is April 19. We have been fortunate to have our largest and most competitive pool in the history of our department, and we regret that we have not able to inform you of a decision sooner. Thank you for your understanding and patience. How many of us actually received that email? Are they crazy? It's like accepting students that have no other offer, clearly due to the fact that students with offers will not risk waiting for their reply!
  6. Hello! I am still waiting for a decision from UCSD, UCI, Gatech and USC... I have tried contacting them, but no response yet... It wouldn't be appropriate to send an email again, would it be? My stress level has never reached so high before!
  7. Hello! My boyfriend and I, we've been together for 9,5 years and although I will be 17 hours away, we have no intention of breaking up! He is really supportive and we trust each other so much, I do not think we will face any difficulties... He is currently an undergraduate student and we have plans for him to move in with me after the first year or after the Quals. I do not know if our way of thinking feels like living in utopia, but I know we are determined to make it work!
  8. Someone posted in results search for UCI: Emailed POI; decisions for wait list won't be made until after April 15 deadline. Are they crazy??? I am still waiting and I need to decide by April 15th!
  9. Thank you so much for the replies! It is really weird that most of my classmates told me what I've mentioned earlier ( although none of them is currently pursuing a PhD at U.S. which makes it even weirder...) But you prove my Professors' opinion! Thank you, I really appreciate it!
  10. To my opinion, you should contact your thesis advisor and explain your situation. I am not an expert though, my major is in CS, but either someone will have to proofread or at least you could ask your thesis advisor if such a "first draft" could have a positive impact... I wish you the best!
  11. Still waiting! Come on!

  12. Does anyone know if UIUC students get internships in CA? Everyone I know keeps mentioning that CA internship positions are usually filled with Grad students from CA Univ....
  13. Has UCSD responded to anyone? I have sent an email about admissions and all I got was "Dear Fall 2013 Applicant blah blah blah....... Due to the large volume of inquiries, questions will be answered in the order received. Information already addressed in this automated response and the web page will not be answered."
  14. I am waiting too! Machine Learning (mostly)! It's almost April... Can't wait much longer...
