    To the person who was rejected from Stanford and wishes you'd told them you were African-American...
     
    When the sting of the rejection wears off, I hope you feel pretty crappy about that comment. You should feel crappy about it.

    Claiming an MIT acceptance. It was a call from POI. This is my first acceptance, I feel so relieved!

    What makes me feel comfortable is to be dressed appropriately for the setting. Unless that includes a corset or chaps.

    Michigan and Berkeley both showed my scores as "not received" until the days they admitted me. In both cases, I contacted the departments weeks ago, and in both cases, they reassured me that they had the scores. My takeaway: some departments don't update the websites reliably. Call/email your department to make sure.

    On the off chance that the admissions committee at Stanford completely overlooks "fit" and calls me with an acceptance offer this morning, they're going to get an earful of the loudest, most ridiculous hiccups ever.

    I might go ahead and suggest that those top 11 constitute the first tier. The second tier might be a bit fuzzier, but it seems that placement in R1 institutions isn't unreasonable or uncommon through the top 30, so maybe 12-30 or so would be roughly the second tier, and maybe 31-50/60 the third tier? After that most of the programs are producing private sector Ph.D.s. Just my thoughts on it - but there are great programs in the 20-30 range, like Penn State, doing pretty decently as far as placement goes. Of course all these lines are fuzzy because some schools carry more name recognition and therewith prestige and may perform better regardless of ranking.
