anybody staying at school res heard anything about paying the rent? all ive done so far is just signing the contract that I'll stay in maplewood... when do we have to pay?

people who are fully funded by your home department do you know how to take care of the bursar bill? I logged into my netpay account and found Im due like 5200 dollarish. Im fully funded so should I wait for my department to take care of it or do I need to take action? Im kinda worried with the Aug 7th due date for paying tuition cuz right now Im out of the US.

Nice to meet EEB people! Indeed any graduate school forum I go there is alot of med sci or mol bio people so this thread kinda makes me feel like posting Im a pop gen/ evo bio person and Ive applied this season and going to cornell this fall to their genetics and development program. Cornell has a EEB department but I chose the genetics and development department cuz they put more emphasis on pop gen and evo gen. Anyways anybody planning to apply for evo gen or pop gen can ask me for stuff if ur wondering hey tom5156 to answer ur question it is normal for people to apply the year they are graduating. Im graduating well this May and Ive made it into grad school. Even if you dont have your last year marks grad schools look at the marks you currently have. Anyways marks are only a minor role and so is GRE scores. If you have stellar research background it'll make up if you have an underpar grades.

I got my acceptance offer at Apr 14, maybe that could be a reason why I dont have one yet. Also Im international which could be an additional factor. However I havent recieved anything from cornell since except that my grad coordinater is preparing for the I-20 visa.

did u guys get ur netID from cornell?? i havent got mine yet

meh I lived in dorm where my room was the size of those cages where KFC grows their chickens... but you guys know when they announce if you have got a room or not? Ive appied for the shared three room in maplewood and I think Ive made my chances of getting housing more harder by making that choice...

Hey guys Ive applied to the off campus housing just now for Maplewood. Is that place ok? I dunno how intenese to get housing but I hope I can get one. @snowy hey I made it into field of gen & dev as well. Are you in for genetics or development?

So when you need to decide by April 15 do you need an answer before Apr 15 so like Apr 14 or can you give an answer at Apr 15. I have last minute decision and I think Im going to send my decision at like Apr 15 around noon.... is that okay??? I feel like i shud give an answer at Apr 15 before the school and office closes.

YIKES i wud have made a big mistake then.... who do you ask the prof that contacted you or the adcom or someone like that....

Can you accept an offer at Apr 15 then afterwards lets say like at the 20th you hear back from the school you've got waitlisted that your in. Can you reject the offer from the first school you've accepted in this case?

Hey people Im international and planning to attend UM starting september. I was planning to move in the northwood neighborhood. When i was at the interview weekend at feburary i stayed at a grad's house who lived at northwood and honestly it looked really nice for me but the grad was complaining how the transportation was crappy and u could get better place outside of northwood. My question is how bad is northwood. I mean the houses look okay and it was really quiet which I liked. Its hard for me to get off campus housing becuz as ive said im international and i cant visit ann arbor to look around. My plan is to live at northwood for a year and then move off campus or something like that. another question for internationals hwo u guys getting housing?
