Have fun reading my super long PM. If you still want more info, @mk-8 is a wealth of knowledge who helped me out a lot!

Sending vibes of endurance your way!

Yeah, I definitely want to second this. I thought UMN would be my pick before I visited the Twin Cities. UMN has a fantastic program and very talented people, but I was struggling in their "unusually warm" weather with borrowed Northern gear. I quickly realized how much of an adjustment that weather would be. I couldn't picture myself being happy there, and I didn't want to make my adjustment into a PhD program that much more difficult. Happiness matters for your quality of life AND your quality of work. Disclaimer: Everyone is different. I hope someone who doesn't mind the cold takes my spot and appreciates that program for how awesome it is!

@klader I decided on Clemson. You and @bigfluffybearcat have some really tough decisions to make!! @bumbleblu Waiting is the worst! Have you set a personal deadline or are you going to try to ride it out for as long as you can?
-
Hooray!! I'll send you a PM. -

I love picturing a surfing Foucault... being freaky. CONGRATS!! And congrats to everyone else here too!! I have officially accepted my offer from Clemson.
-
Hahaha. Yes, I heard all about the great things people from Clemdon are presenting there and it made me wish I was attending even more!!
-
Me neither! I guess we had other things keeping us busy! But I looked through the ATTW program and recognized so many names! I think it would have been nice to have gone.
-
Not application related, but is anyone at ATTW? I really wish I was at least attending this year!
-
Congratulations!!!

@Crow T. Robot @WildeThing I just got my Berkeley rejection too. Can't say I'm surprised or happy, but I'm glad to stop fantasizing and wondering!

Thanks! Penn State and my remaining two schools are my worst fits. I'm very thankful for the options I do have, I and can't be too upset about this rejection (and the two more I predict coming in).
-
Just got a rejection email from Penn State a few minutes ago. It wasn't the best fit (on top of being a fantastic program), so this is what I was expecting.
-
Thanks for the update. I think you're probably right. I wish they wouldn't be so hush hush about it.
-
@reneaCongratulations!! Double the work and double the success!! @punctilious!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH!! CONGRATULATIONS
