  4. Congratulations to those who have been admitted, best of luck to those who are interviewing and keep your chin up to those who are wait-listed...I was a wait-list candidate and found out I got in pretty late, so you're never out of the game!!

      My campus seems to have never heard of shutting for snow... to be fair, though - we tend to be slightly south of anything truly major.

      Ha! Yesterday my lab director wanted me to come in today...so I did only to get a text an hour later saying it was "probably best to stay home today". -_-

  10. Make sure you have questions prepared for them to show that you are interested in their program and research opportunities.
  11. Too bad none of you are coming to Boston...the 2nd floor apartment in my building just became available!
  12. at the breaking point.

      Don't break. When you think your at your limit just control to put one foot in front of the other and your come out of the other side

      text me! i'm back in town. i'm here for you<3

  13. I wouldn't worry for the same reasons listed here. I also would add that people read things multiple times and still manage to overlook grammar and spelling errors.
  14. got an email from grad director that some of my fellow cohort peeps haven't registered for two courses this spring, which may mean they are cancelled, yet they are REQUIRED. He pleaded them to register. C'mon people! I don't need this stress from you!

      That's crazy!

      Could you petition to take it as an independent study?

    3. AKCarlton

      AKCarlton

      Possibly...but one of them is literally a course that is required by everyone...so there is no way it could be canceled. The other is one of the electives...it's just baffling. We are only offered 3 courses this semester, which means we are required to take all three as grad students.

  15. pleasure reading. that is all.

  16. I didn't hear back until April for nearly all my programs, and most of them I had to contact for my results. They hadn't even emailed me at that point!
  17. in Arizona thawing out from the Boston winter.

      Enjoy while you can! It's only getting colder here...

  18. Definitely don't look too much into it...the semester has just ended and it's the holidays.
  19. i think i'm more excited for my grades than any Christmas gift.

  20. already having to deal with the bloody bursar's office.

  21. second day of break and I've already ordered my books for a class next semester - 6 books...one class!

    1. Threeboysmom

      Threeboysmom

      I have my book for next semester as well. After Christmas I'm going to pop them open and get a jump start on my reading.

  22. I can only wonder what the entire educational experience will be like if accepted to this program.
  23. It really does...not just for instances like this, but instances where you're nearing the deadline and your letter writers still "haven't got around" to writing your letters for you. I understand, the fact that they can be electronically submitted now should be less stressful, but it isn't. I emailed my letter writers almost every other week to just check-in and let them know the deadline was approaching. My previous journalism education and experience made me a deadline writer myself, but the entire grad school experience untrained me of that mentality.
  24. I wasn't aware that you can or should send gifts in along with your applications. Does that really help? I'm honestly and sincerely curious about this for the future if I plan to apply to PhD programs.
