Rock on. I'm nominating you for best poster ever.

New Question: Contacting professors. Should I do it this late in the game? What do I even say? Do applicants usually do this? Is it expected or do you look like a suck-up?

Thanks, I can't tell you how helpful you've been! I really feel like I'm alone during this application process, so it's nice to have someone ready to respond to questions. This may sound like an ignorant question, but what the process for acquiring financial aid for PhD and MA programs? Up until now, I thought that after I was accepted somewhere I would work it out with the school, but now I'm wondering if there's a separate application? Any info about this stuff would be helpful!

Hello everyone! I'm applying to all Boston-area programs. Does anyone know if the top schools expect students to already have Master's degrees or published research?
