  1. Great, thanks! I noticed today my feed was pretty FUBAR since various readers were recognizing old posts as new each time it was generated. I'll decommission my feed now
  2. My point is that your plan B should be "Go get relevant work experience to make you more competitive". Since I'm a science applicant, the Plan B would be "go work as a research tech where you can publish, get on publications, get great recs and reapply in two years". If two years means you get into a much better program (which sets you up for a much better career) then it is worth it in my opinion.
  3. I've never understood the point of a safety school for grad school. If you don't get into the programs that you want to get into, you shouldn't settle and accept lesser schools. Just work for a year or two, get some experience, better recs and maybe a few publications, then reapply. Granted, this is for the sciences. Humanities are a much different ballgame I'm sure.
  4. I am a member of a different forum where we fret about grad school acceptance, but we also check the results page here quite often. I was asked earlier today to do what you are requesting - make an RSS feed from the results page. I figured I'd share it here with you guys as well. You can find the RSS feed here: http://www.euphoniou...om/grad/rss.php It scrapes the GradCafe Results page every hour. I wrote the code pretty quickly, so it may have bugs or formatting issues. Feel free to let me know if you encounter any problems. All I ask is that everyone doesn't pound my server with requests every ten minutes, as it will only be fresh data every hour.
