Congrats to everyone who got it?

Was there anyone else with a 1st author pub that was NOT recommended? I’m a little shocked by my results.

They will be released within the next few weeks.

Little salty about not even getting HM. Looking forward to seeing their reasoning for that.

Wow. Didn't even get HM. I have a publication too.

New screen

Website is down for maintenance. It’s on y’all.

I’m usually up around midnight anyway so I might end up staying up until ~2.

Huh.. so our maintenance time frame almost matches the maintenance time frame 2015. Which the average released time almost matches the release time from 2015 (2:40 am).

The average time released date is roughly 2:30 am FYI

Wish I could stay up for the results but I have kids and classes so I look forward to the chaos ?

What time tomorrow?

OH shit does that mean tomorrow is the day?

I can’t get into nsfgrfp.org either

I’m able to log in just fine.

Wow. I can't believe that's a thing.

I caught up on Game of Thrones and started watching Westworld

Accepted at 23 and starting at 24.

If I could go back and retake the GRE, I would take as many practice tests as possible. The material is important, however, getting down the rhythm of the test will help you the most.

Magoosh was helpful for the verbal section. I did not spend much time on quant, but when I did I used Manhattan 5 pound book.

Were you and your peers not willing to take a summer and travel for an internship?

I think it’s strange that location was an issue for you. My peers intern halfway across the country with high wages and housing allowances. They interned in all major cities in the US.

I don't have those sources and I do not think there is a public database that keeps track of placement rates. You bring up an excellent point though. I would talk to current students in the program and get their impressions. All my peers seem to be very satisfied with their job prospects and have had no issues getting internships in the private sector. I haven't heard of anyone from my program that did not already have a job lined up in HF's at graduation.

No problem. If you look at User Research (UX) job listings they also consider PhDs in Anthropology, Cognitive Psychology, or anything similar (think social sciences).
