I picked best fit, which then agreed to become best funded. Of course, I had schools of, "No way in Hell"; "I could do this" and finally, "Yes. This is where I'm going." So my visits made it easy. Again, the one I decided, "Yes, absolutely," also directly asked me, "Did any other department offer more money?" after I had already decided. I'm pleased to say the least.

Can anyone give me an estimate of what to expect for utility costs? Electric, water, internet, cable, etc.?

This whole process is really getting to me. I have a visit this weekend so I've been going hard in the paint (working really really really hard) to get all of my work done before I leave and I just forgot what day it was. I really need to know where I'll be living in 6 months. I don't like all this uncertainty nonsense.

Perhaps if you battled some sort of rebel group while you're there?

I just want to remind everyone with acceptances to remember to read the fine print at your chosen school before signing...and to be thankful you're not going to anywhere run by these people--- https://www.pcci.edu/GeneralInfo/StudentLifeFAQ.html Maybe I'm biased, but I like integrated stairwells and such.

I actually know of profs grading freshman English papers this way. Whichever flew the furthest was an A on the curve. All the more reason to make your term papers aerodynamic.

Yeah, I mean there are plenty of schools on here where two applicants apply to Schools A and B, one gets into A but not B, the other gets into B but not A. I hate to think some decisions are rather arbitrary, but some decisions are rather arbitrary.

No Stanford. Oh well. Texans can't live in California anyway.

Yeah. I never trust St. Eds. Especially because I've apparently been targeted for two of their programs, so I'll get two emails within 3 minutes of each other and all that's changed is the name of the program.

My POI from one of my programs is going to be at my current department tomorrow giving a presentation. Does this mean I have to dress like an adult to go to class?

I feel the same way. I'm hoping maybe they're going by subfield and they just haven't gotten to mine yet. But I feel like that's likely a stretch.

Me too. I was thinking I'd hear from them like 2 weeks ago.

They're being weird about admits. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.

As a more relevant aside, a friend of mine just got into UNC. So now I get to re-panic. Great.

In a nutshell, yes. A lot of schools (mine included) don't run in parties. My univ has a significantly lower limit on funds (Less than $2k for an SBP campaign). That being said, I know people who sold off part of their livestock to run for SBP, so there's that. But I'm at a major R1 too. Varies by the culture of the school.
