Familiar Heron

I only find it funny how butthurt this guy is.

"IF YOU GET REJECTED ALL AROUND, CHANGE SOMETHING.  Make it better.  Don't just throw your hands in the air and say I did the best I can and then re-apply the next season with the exact same project, marks, and scores, as the end result is likely going to be the same."

**sprints toward the door, trips over garbage can, barks both shins on lab table, gets back on feet, begins running again, makes it out of door into cold, night air: screams**  

EUREKA!!

Pure genius.

(PS) stop humblebragging, you're making everyone's eyes roll 

It's great to see all of the good news in this thread!
Did anybody else apply to Wisconsin's Population Health PhD program? 

"Your attitude still sucks" is a very weak argument.
You seem incapable of presenting a sound argument and having an intellectual discussion. Good bye now

Okay, thank you for your input. Let me now make a few points,
 
1. First of all, "EVERYONE waitlisted has made similar posts to HJin's in various threads and the results board" is a false, overly generalized statement. Many people, myself included, patiently wait and respect others of their right to decide until the official April deadline. 
2. Even if many waitlisted candidates make such posts, that does not make it right. To give an extreme example, just because there are many people cheating during an exam, it does not make cheating an appropriate action to take. Therefore, you are a presenting a weak argument.
3.  By saying "There are some ppl who make decisions and never tell the other schools they aren't going so the waitlisted ppl are left in limbo", you are giving a negative connotation for people who have received multiple acceptances. Yes, some, as a courtesy, choose to withdraw from other schools after they make their decisions, but you cannot blame others who choose to do otherwise. 
 
Good night
 

To be fair, you really came at Hjin wrong. EVERYONE waitlisted has made similar posts to HJin's in various threads and the results board. Your "LoL cute" comment was very snarky and uncalled for. There are some ppl who make decisions and never tell the other schools they aren't going so the waitlisted ppl are left in limbo. Saying please reject ASAP is totally okay, because HJin was succinct in saying if you got accepted and don't plan on going, can you say something now. There is no malice and attitude in that...but your comment to HJin  was rude. 

Okay, you really don't get it. do you? Pressuring (or begging) people to decline is such a immature thing to do.
 
I really hope you get in so you do not ever come back here.
 

Oh, I did and I've come to the conclusion that you clearly haven't. Feel free to continue downvoting all my posts. I'm done responding to you. Nothing to gain from arguing with someone on the internet.

Go re-read your previous comment and then we will talk about attitude thanks.

I was told by the program director that I am one of two who are on the waitlist. Also, you can leave you condescending attitude at the door thanks.

Haha Cute but what makes you think you are the only one on the waitlist? Also, people who received acceptances have all the right to weigh their options until April. Patience is a virtue.

Hey Arash, you seem to have a pretty competitive profile (I can't speak to the TOEFL though, since I'm unfamiliar with what's considered a good score). However, this may not be considered the right forum to get the best feedback, since biomechanics isn't related to public health. Maybe your specific program is housed within the public health schools at those three universities? 
Good luck!
