      I had a very similar experience during my 1st grad app cycle, except that I turned down the one school (cog neuro) that was very basic research oriented and I wanted to do much more applied cog sci/education research. I took 2 years working as a research associate at a learning research center at a top R1, and ended up getting multiple offers that fit me better the 2nd time around. You'll be just fine :)

      I'm glad I'm starting research a little bit before classes so I can get familiarized with the literature.

  12. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at MSU this past week/weekend! Pleasant and dedicated professors and students to potentially work with, awesome equipment to learn to use (fMRI, getting an EEG cap, and an uber cool motor vehicle testing center (CAVS)), as well as an all around great program! My fit = Perfect!

  13. Next week I'm breaking down and emailing the final schools I haven't heard from.

  14. Can my birthday gift be the ability to make a decision?

  15. Ok guys, I'm seriously considering accepting an offer without hearing back from my final school. My head is spinning. That final school is stringing me along, and I'm exhausted. Lastly, I don't want to string along the school that accepted me!

      I completely understand. I'm waiting on the official stuff from my last choice before I make that final decision.

  20. lots of traveling this week but should have a good idea on where i'm going after it's all done!

  21. Dear last school, please let me know your decision. If you reject me, then my decision is easy. If you accept me, then I have many nights of sleepless decision making on the way. I need to know if I should catch up on sleep now to prepare.

    1. cogscipixie

      I just sent out emails to the last schools I interviewed with, since apparently other applicants were given offers, and I'm in the dark (most likely waitlisted without them telling me). I would like to make my decision sooner rather than later for the schools that did give me offers.
