I thought I would be fancy by doing all of my SOPs in LaTeX. To personalize them I included the physical address of each graduate school at the top of each letter. The one I sent to Cornell was addressed to the wrong school. Surely this has nothing to do with why I haven't heard so much as a whisper back from them...

This is great news! I had a feeling that my interactions with the other students and faculty member would be watched as a sort of "informal interview." I'll make sure to do some more research on some of the advisors so I can ask intelligent questions about their research. And oh yeah, I'll wear a nice shirt Thanks again for the replies!

Thanks for the replies! This is a huge relief but just in case I'll try to stay cautiously optimistic xP

I was recently invited to the "prospective graduate weekend" at one of the schools I applied to. I don't want to read too much into this (the worst thing I could do to myself is raise false hope), but does anyone have any idea what this could mean in terms of my candidacy for the program? They offered to reimburse my travel expenses and overnight accommodations which could be a good sign...right? P.S. I'm new to this forum so I hope I posted this in the right place!
