  1. Hoping to revive the Rutgers thread. How did everyone go? I've been admitted but waitlisted for funding. Fingers crossed!
  2. The results page posts 1 acceptance and 1 rejection which states that the decision is available online. But mine is not. What's your experience?
  3. I've been charged twice by a university I applied to and I'm not sure what to do. I've talked to the director of admissions, and they have refused to refund me. I have earlier written proof from their university verifying that my fee was received and I would not be charged again. How can they do this? What are my rights here? Who can I talk to?
  4. I agree. The stress conveyed on these boards is disheartening. Beginning a PhD program means embarking on the next 6-8 years of your career. I'm amazed that people are pulling all nighters and generally "obsessing" about their applications. I don't think this is healthy. Is this really how you plan to spend the next decade, people? If grad school makes you a crazy person, maybe it's not worth it. There are plenty of great careers which don't take years off of your life. My question to posters is, how do you justify this stress? For passion (shouldn't it be healthier), prestige (if we were smart, wouldn't we be smart enough to choose not to do a PhD), or a paycheck (ha! just kidding)?
  5. Does anyone know if it is okay to submit applications with a blank section for GRE scores? I am taking the test later on but would like to get a head start on apps. Also- what are your thoughts about including unnecessary test scores? I'm applying to PhD programs but have a decent LSAT score. Should I include it?
