    Love your username! A fellow medievalist, I presume?

    When Life hands you lemons, make simple syrup, add to whiskey, pour whiskey sour over ice, and thank the Powers that be for the perfect opportunity to enjoy a stiff drink!

    I wonder WHY the Math and Science folks find out so much earlier than the rest of us...?

      Nada - that does make sense, actually...

      It also doesn't hurt that for a lot the them the deadlines are often in early December.

    Sad to report the death of Rachel Bromwich, Professor Emeritus in medieval Celtic studies and noted Arthurian scholar, at age 95 this past Wednesday. :o(

    Impromptu dance party for one featuring Faroff mashups a natural stress reliever? I think so!

    Anyone else not receiving responses to emails checking on completion of application submissions?

      one gradsec took 2 weeks to reply to my email, and literally, this is all she wrote: 'Okay'

      i was like WTF!? what do you call that?

      Last year, responses were much prompter...I'm hoping against hope that doesn't mean even MORE applications this year... *gulp*.

    640, English subject test - that will do, yes?

  11. Medievalmaniac

    Dear Adcomms: "Pick me! Choose me! Love me!" - thank you.

  12. Medievalmaniac

    I could probably hate online applications more than I already do, but I'm not sure just how...

  13. Medievalmaniac

    Is almost done revising writing sample...countdown begins!

  14. Medievalmaniac

    Two writing samples down; one to go...

    "Who is the editor to whom this poem is dedicated?" Seriously? So long, 700....

      Well, to be fair, in most anthologies this is not a footnote. But there are some anthologies that don't include this information, and a lot of professors who won't teach this poem to undergrads.

      My complaint is that the practice test was so misleading as regards the structure and format of questions and subject matter coverage. We should have spent all that time sleeping instead of studying the recommended materials, for all the good it did us.

      Completely agreed. There's really no reason why most of the actual tests floating about are from the 80s. I'm wondering why they keep this test so shrouded in mystery when so many programs don't put much stock in it's importance. At least that ordeal's over, right?

    Interview Day...off I go. Wish me luck!

      Best of luck! Knock it out of the park!

    GRE subject test practice #3: 690. If I can cram enough information for five more right answers into my skull, I can break 710...! T-minus two weeks...

    Can I just snap a photograph of my bookshelves as my statement of purpose???

    1. yoshimoshi

      innovative idea!

    Finally getting excited about my statement of purpose! FINALLY! This is draft 8...

      Thanks! Unfortunately, I didn't fare well in the verbal section.

  23. Medievalmaniac

    GRE Subject test: Check. GRE General re-take: I dunno....is it REALLY worth it? REALLY?

  24. Medievalmaniac

    Just ordered the GRE Workbook for Math. I AM GOING TO PASS THIS SECTION IF IT KILLS ME (and it might....)!

      I feel this way too! I'm 11 days away from my test and I still have a panic attack whenever I see a square root. Good luck!

      Is there a score you are trying to get? I heard that English lit applicants don't need to worry too much about the math.

      I just want to get into a program, and apparently the programs I'm looking at look at scores. Grrr. I've decided, though, not to take the GRE general again. I got a 6 on the AW, and a decent verbal - so f- it.I'm going to take the subject test and pray for a great score, and go from there.

    Hi, I'm removing you from my friends list because I have no idea who you are, and I tend not to accept friend requests from people who are brand-new to the board and have never introduced themselves to me.
