[Good academic planners?]

I just use a basic planner from bluesky.com. It has a monthly and weekly view, and I really like that it has tabs and a thicker plastic cover to protect against liquid spills. I had a moleskine, but I like that the bluesky one is wirebound, so it can lay flat in half.

 

THanks so much! I really like these.

[Good academic planners?]

Hi there -- I have begun to realize that in the next couple of weeks, as I begin the great move to grad school, I already need a planner to keep all of my thoughts/dates/to-do's straight!  I was searching around the forums for planners, but I couldn't find what I wanted.

 

For those who use academic planners (the paper & pen kind) which do you use and why?  I'm looking for one that I can keep with me in my bookbag, and has both weekly & monthly views.  I like being able to write down on the week-to-week calendar what all of my tasks are, but then also be able to see a whole month at a time so I can plan out long term projects, etc. 

 

I know Moleskine is popular, but do they have a week-to-week and monthly one? 

 

Any suggestions at all would be helpful!! Thanks! 

[Refurbished iPad?]

Hey everyone,

 

So I am considering getting an iPad for grad school.  I'm curious if anyone here has ever purchased a refurbished iPad through Apple?  I don't really think I need a brand NEW one, so I feel like this is a much better option. Anyways, I would love to hear from people who might have bought a refurbished one.  Which one you decided to buy ... what your opinion of it is ... etc. Thanks a lot!

[Need some advice, PLEASE!]

Hi everyone. If you could give me some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

 

School A has offered me 60% off of tuition scholarship, which would really cut down on my costs for my grad program.  

 

School B is a dual degree program w/ another school in the area. (School B + School C) ... School B has offered me 75% off tuition scholarship, but I haven't heard anything back from the school C of the dual degree program.  That program is most likely the more expensive of the two, and would probably cost me around ~18K. 

 

Now my question is this ... do you think it is worth it to e-mail school A, and tell them I am having a hard time making a decision, as school B has now offered me a very generous % off tuition? (As in, trying to see if School A they would offer me more money...) And if you think I should do this, how would you word the e-mail?

 

Sorry if that's confusing. Like I said before, any advice would really help.  Thanks.

Thanks all! I did hear back early in the day. Although I haven't heard back regarding the scholarship(s) yet.

Got an acceptance email today as well! Maybe they send them out in waves?

[Brandeis Hornstein! Anybody hear anything?]

I'm still waiting to hear from the Hornstein program at Brandeis University. Was wondering if anyone else had heard anything by this point? Thanks!
