aww this brought a tear to my eye! so beautiful!

So here's an interesting question that I've been thinking about alot lately: I know that this process has got me doubting myself in a very serious way, even though before I started I felt pretty confident in myself as a student. And so to assuage this lack of confidence, I've been turning to rather esoteric means of confidence boosting, like checking my horoscope on yahoo and such nonsense. Now, mind you, I don't really beleive in that stuff, but it does help to read that "You are in for two totally great days on the 11th and 12th" because historically that's when Harvard acceptances have come out. Anyone else turning to 'non-traditional' confidence boosting measures? I'd like to know I'm not the only worried one in this group of academic hotshots!

applying to grad school, as my professor once told me, is a way of "weeding out the weak ones from the herd." basically, the process is as difficult as it is because the vast majority of people can't jump through the hoops necessary to even complete the application process, and so it self-selects strong, committed, intelligent applicants. To be frank with you all, we are the best of the best in the world-regardless of whether we get in or not-because we completed this grueling process and came out on the other side strong, happy, and smart!

I did apply to Arab studies at Georgetown, they are my top choice! I think that we will hear back next week-one of my friends called the office and talked to the dgs, who said it will be next week. So lets keep our fingers crossed!

graduate debt (equally inevitable)

Hey guys, just a quick question-it seems like people are starting to hear back from the University of Chicago for the MA program in Middle Eastern Studies. Has anyone here heard yet? has anyone applied? How about the NYU MA in Near Eastern studies? Thanks!
