  1. Most interesting topic in this forum. My parents have a Bachelors degree between them. My dad worked extremely hard trying to support his parents and younger siblings and got his degree at a night school. My mom came from a family of 12 children and they did not have enough money to send all their kids to school, so they sent their boys to get some schooling. My mom got only limited schooling. But, my parents have always valued education very highly, and have always been most encouraging. I am the first one in my family to go for a Masters/PhD (apart from the other half). Some times, my parents don't seem to completely understand the American education system, but they have always been very supportive of my attempts at getting a higher education. They are very happy that their "little" girl is getting all the opportunities that they could not get or afford in their own lifetimes. I am lucky to have such parents.
  2. Pardee RAND Graduate School. For PhD in Public Policy Analysis.
  3. >>I find it amusing that RAND presents it this way. Normally they list it as tuition plus stipend of Xthousand a year. While it is funny that RAND talked about cubicle space, but the overall amount $48,200 is just as you say...tuition+stipend. >>Congrats on RAND. Thanks! >>I like that they made sure to also include info about your cubicle -- and it is "within RAND corporation" -- phew, you must be relieved it is not in some storage >>closet in some junior congressman from North Dakota's office). They're very serious over there, measuring nuclear fallout patterns and whatnot. The RAND >>mo-fos dont play! It's the original think tank. Now about the cubicle space...I guess RAND is a little detail oriented (so am I). I like knowing EXACTLY what I am getting into, so I am glad they covered it.

  5. xnormajeanx: Thanks! I know what you mean, the student profiles online are extremely intimidating. I wasn't counting on an acceptance either, it was a HUGE surprise. But, I didn't want to do my Ph.D anywhere else. So it was RAND or nothing. My GRE scores will expire next year. So, I thought why not give it a shot...
