PM me if you're going to Rice!

Anyone going to Rice???? PM me!

I would accept the job offer and then quit if you end up hearing from a program that you want to go to (you could work up until August so that still gives you almost 6 months)

Anyone hear from Rice? I received an email that the Prospective Students' Weekend is March 12-14 so I'm assuming that they've sent out their offers by now. PM me if you're going!

CMU as in Carnegie Mellon or Central Michigan?

If anyone gets into Rice and is thinking of going there, message me!

Same happened to me!! I thought that was kind of rude to not even let us know!

Ohh that makes sense...

Anyone hear from Rice?

Hey, I'm also moving to Houston. Any updates? I'm just concerned with finding a nice place near Rice that is still affordable.

Good insight! I spoke to him yesterday and just mentioned that I am almost 100% sure that I want to go with him but I'd just like to hear back from some of my schools and he told me to let him know as soon as possible. I'm so excited that he actually wants to work with me but now I'm feeling pressured to make a decision so soon!

I would love to work with him (and it would be as a 1st year grad student)...it is my realistic top choice. I applied to 2 dream schools but I don't expect to get in. However, I think I rather just tell him that I'd like to see all of my options before agreeing to anything.

I work at a research lab with a very prominent professor in the field. Recently, he just accepted a job offer at another university, which has a great program. I received an email from him asking me if I want to go there and all of the grad students I work with said that it basically means that he's willing to take me along. The tricky thing is that it seems like he wants a definite answer now but I haven't heard back from any of the other 12 schools that I applied to...what should I do?!

Hey want to reopen this forum! I'm applying to OB programs for Fall 2015!

If it didn't feel as horrible as it does, then it wouldn't feel as rewarding in the end! That being said, I'm dying inside. NO SLEEP! CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE BUT GRAD APPS! I'm going cray cray!!!
