I just found out that I didn't get it. I'm really disappointed because I had such a good application. I was published twice as an undergrad, and have a nearly perfect GPA. WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM ME?
i'm just pissed that I spent so much time on my application, and really honed it to be as good as possible, and it was all for nothing. I guess I can apply to other things, but grad school would be so much easier with secure funding. Now I am going to probably have to TA next year.
I hope the best for everyone else on here, and I am grateful for the information that has been shared along the way. I've been a full time lurker until now, but I just can't believe that I didn't get it.
