um ya hi, live with me. GONNA BE SO BROKE. Any other takers? PLLLLLZ

ya, if all the funding works out :3

I want to hear from them. Just a peep. The application was a lil expensive.

I've got a tattoo of my face on my face, except slightly off-center.

I'll be 21, and I'm pretty short/look younger than I am. If I end up having to TA.... eeee. It will be interesting.

I'm still waiting to hear back about funding from Pitt. No worries; schools are just getting this stuff worked out. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you - I'm sure you'll be hearing some good news soon! Good luck

I can't wait to understand the reason I've yet to translate any meaning besides, it's not worth it to try .... lyrics related to the app process/grad school?

tbh it's a really progressive town. Craig Lowe, the guy currently running for mayor, is openly gay. There are good gay clubs that do different events on different nights (although I've heard complaints that it's always "the same crowd"). Also, definitely check out the Civic Media Center (they do a lot of queer-friendly events). I guess the areas surrounding Gainesville can be kind of "redneck", but on/around campus, it's an extremely open, welcoming town. http://www.gainesvillepride.org/index.php if you need any more info!

I check it immediately! I have no desire to prolong the waiting period. I star the acceptances on gmail so I can read them again and again

Hey, I'm at UF now. I don't know if I'll still be here next year (keeping my fingers crossed for Pitt), but I'll offer some help nonetheless! Don't do anything through Paradigm properties, and I'd stay away from Trimark as well. A lot of the apartment complexes are FULL of undergrads and are extremely loud/disgusting. Do not stay at the Courtyards. It is cheap and close to campus, but mushrooms started growing out of my friend's carpet bc of how nasty it is. I'd stay away from Gainesville Place, the Estates, and Jefferson 2nd as well. Hope you like football - anywhere around the campus goes nuts on game days (but it's so much fun!!!!) Gainesville is also a little expensive without roommates, but you can find cute little places if you just drive around. I suggest living in the area directly northeast of campus (off 13th st and university ave. Oh, and I don't think it's too easy to get around here without a car. Just sayin.

I don't know if this thread is serious or not but it's kind of funny. "I have an actual life"/aka I've got the highest overall post count out of anyone in this entire thread. Hee hee. I'd stay neutral about the financial thing - it could be bad or good. No use in getting yourself all worked up about it, only to have it be some form email they send.

Hey good luck with whatever you choose! In the perfect world, we all get funded through super nice departments

A wet bar!!! Brownies!!! YES! But tbh I probably won't pm you until I know for sure about the funding... then I'll want to hear allll about Pitt because it's where I'll end up. I'd hate to get my hopes up about it and hear that I'm not going to be able to go. I was told that my chances for funding were "very high", but I still hate waiting. Hopefully I'll be seeing you in the fall!

Yeah, I got rejected from there and raged. I was more attracted to Pitt anyways though... so whatevs. Aren't you there now? I'm on this list waiting to hear back about funding, hope hope hope HOPE I get it weeeeee.

What about Steel Reserve!

I'm still waiting on BC, UC Boulder, and UIC. Sigh. I just want to know for sure about the funding from Pitt...

Oh sank you berry much! That was v. nice of you to share

Hey, has anyone heard anything from CMU? I hate the waiting gameeeee

yeah, i'm a liiiiiittle curious about this too.

21

hey, want me to pm you about it?

retook GRE; 740 verbal 510 quant whatever ,the math still sucks but I'm not really worried AS much anymore.

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far, I'm feeling a little better about my scores Strangelight, I actually forgot to mention that I'm completing my third semester of German. I did it in high school as well, and I'm going to take a fourth semester in the spring (I think) so I'm DECENT there, nothing to write home about but I've definitely had training at the college-level, and I've only gotten A's and B+'s in the courses so that's nice at least. About Pitt/CMU - I want to live in Pittsburgh so bad, for a number of reasons, and the universities are perfect fits for me. I don't want to get my hopes to high about being there though. How difficult is it to get into Pitt?
