The one on 1/13 was me, but I am not (and have never been) a student at the University of Washington. They may just have a smaller number of professors contacting students over a longer period of time than in previous years.

Use a light touch with the hops. Americans always overdo it with the hops. (I'm clearly aiming for The Lord Grantham Chair in beverage science)

Mosel fan here, especially Karthauserhof and JJ Prum. With all due respect to the Burgundians, Germany makes the best white wines in the world. Ah. For a split second there, I was distracted by the sensory memory of aged Riesling and forgot to obsess over the word "pending" at the Bucky application portal. I know what I'm drinking with dinner tonight!

I've lost a lot of sleep over that old article. The way they (or at least Harvard ca. 1993) account for institutional rigor puts most students who attended non-Berkeley public universities at a huge disadvantage.

My husband got a new laptop a few months ago, and had no choice (for reasons that I, as a Mac person, heard as "blah blah blah") but to switch to Windows 8. He still hasn't really made peace with it, but the swearing has died down a bit.

Thanks, that's my sense too. Okay... glad I'm not the only one. That would be more cause for concern.

Hmm. I'm getting nervous. I've been in touch with the department, though, and their staff is very helpful/friendly. My own fault... in my immediate post-GRE adrenaline rush, I used the wrong department code. And speaking of department codes, has anyone else here applied to their JSP program instead of political science?

Hey guys, if you have applied to Berkeley, have they connected your GRE scores to your application yet?
