  1. UCLA wins by a long shot! See you fall quarter UCLA!

  2. Well it's happened. I got my reject email. I am a little annoyed and confused. I had talked with so many professors there including one who really would have been the perfect person to work with. I am also annoyed that I have applied twice just get two no's. Well whatever to them. You would think they could have done this a little earlier!!!!!!
  3. Where do you see the warnings or the negative numbers???
  4. Who was the UNC admit? I want details!
  5. Dude anything between 15-20 is not low ranked. Go where you think you are going to do good work and be happy.
  6. I am so jealous right now! I am so happy to hear she is a cool person! I would have loved to have worked with her but le sigh it wasn't in the cards for me. I hope that one day I can write something as smart, interesting, and pertinent to society. Ok, I see what you are saying. That is absolutely true. Undocumented students cannot get federal aid and in CA at least they can't get any kind of state aid either. They have to pay for everything. And we then we have the reproduction of inequality.
  7. I totally agree. I would also throw a large net in which by that I mean apply to lots of schools. In my experience which has been two rounds of applications the schools that I reapplied to have not accepted me. All of my acceptances and even wait lists have been at new schools and all rejects at resubmits. And that was with a total redo of my writing sample, letters of rec, and SOP.
  8. I agree with all of this! I love Laraeu! I love that book. So good. The only question I have is what do mean when you say "Other possible issues: undocumented workers (which plays havoc on the financial aid game"? I am not sure what you are trying to say here.
  9. Me three. This was a reapplication too. Congrats to everyone who got in! It is a fantastic school!
  10. I agree. I think you are fine with those scores and GPA. LOR and SOP are seemingly the most important aspect of your app.

    How many of us are going to be there for the welcome days? I think it would be fun if we stuck together. I mean we kind of know each other right?
  12. It makes me very nervous. I have basically given up hope on Northwestern even though it was my top choice. I know I have no right to be sad about graduate admissions but not hearing a positive back from this school does make my heart a little sad. I know we who are still waiting should stay optimistic but I have a feeling we are about to get a mass rejection. Harumph.
  13. I second this. I applied to 10 schools last year and was rejected across the board. I just worked really hard with my professors to make my application be as strong as I could make it this time around. Keep your chin up and don't internalize the rejections as personal statement of your ability. The graduate school thing is such a crap shoot. Good luck to everyone!
