I was thinking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBeCMVU3MYU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Got a call from my potential adviser today, unofficially letting me know I didn't get into my top program :/ Something about they already had students with similar profiles admitted in the last few years and they want to diversify. But she did say she thought my chances for the GRFP were good (she's overseen a few successful applications before) - and that it might be the willy wonka golden ticket to reconsideration. Food for thought: have you ever thought about using a GRFP to apply for a dream program? I wonder if they'd take a student who has little to no relevant experience in the field. I'm getting the urge to go get a paleontology degree (currently applied for epidemiology) and find dinosaur bones. How cool would that be...
