It's a huge adjustment! No I almost applied to something here in Aus but I decided to wait it out.. just have Honours. Kind of glad I did so I can make the most of a few more months outside the ivory tower. How about you? Well done on getting in too!!

I'm another one! Got accepted to Cornell Government PhD starting Fall 2017. Thoroughly surprised I have to say, and was so certain I wouldn't get in that I had done no thinking about the logistical side of things. Very interested and slightly alarmed to hear about the tax double-whammy... Luckily I hear cost of living is pretty low in Ithaca, but that would still eat away quite a bit at my precious funding. I'm trying not to think too hard about anything until I go over for the visiting days on 27-28 March. It's super easy to stoke irrational fears about going all the way over there for 5 years from my laid back life in Melbourne so I want to make sure my thinking is firmly grounded in first-hand experiences of the school.
