  1. I was just gonna start a thread like this. Although I only applied to one school overlapping with yours (brown). haven't heard anything from anywhere yet.
  2. domanda

    Buffalo, NY

    can't believe there is this. yeah i lived there for a good amount of years. it's cold, bleak, empty and you can't live without a car (i did, though). the city is so wacky and stupidly violent and everything rust belt. can get very boring sometimes. university is far away from the city in the middle of nowhere, which is awful. on the up side, graduate students are kind of awesome here. bar street is sweet, closing at 4am and afterparty until who knows when. 24 hrs library (god i miss that). art scene is great. delaware park is great in the summer. indian reservation everywhere so cheap cigarettes. lots empty space so housing is cheap. not much else going on really. oh, and the entire city of buffalo minus the suburbs and a four block square mansion zone is a bad neighborhood period. people in the city aren't happy people. but you can always live in the suburbs which is all white trashes and fine. buffalo is one spicy city. i like it but i can't imagine living there ever again. that wings and pizza stuff is too much of an exaggeration (like we do say buffalo wings like everybody else and i never heard of buffalo pizza. maybe it's just that i don't eat pizza.) food variety is not bad in buffalo but not cheap.
  3. i'm applying for two sorta history of art programs u of rochester cuny grad center i'm in film/media studies really but these days they are not that far apart. but i do think these two are long shots for me due to my absolute lack of educational background in art history, even though my area is in fact more covered by contemporary art history than film studies.
  4. aww this is from Brown right? I got the exact same email. I'm supposing it's really just a generic email, although i secretly fantasize that it's for accepted people only. but.. highly likely just a generic email.
  5. this girl must be REALLY socially awkward to tell you about what she did. unbelievable. the girl can't save her own life by shutting up....if i were you i'll just tell everyone who knows her for all i care.
  6. mm..somebody is younger than me. good. :wink:
  7. i have been negative for a long long time....i'm even feeling how lucky i am to be in a mfa program with a gpa this low. i have been told recently that i'm just not a good student and don't care enough of being a good student (otherwise i will study really hard for GRE and wouldn't have wound up with such a low undergrad gpa blahblah)....and i'm thinking that's actually true....maybe i don't deserve to be a phd student....now i'm self-destructive enough to be able to deal with rejection fine i guess.
  8. A cal professor told me they do not usually fund international student. This is in the humanities and uc irvine's film studies program says on their website that they don't fund international student. So I'm taking it as truth. But it doesn't play off so much in other states. In New York state schools I don't think it matters for funding, even though internationals can't claim in-state either. I don't know anywhere that foreigners can claim in-state. Anybody?
  9. not for me....i took it twice and canceled the second one. i felt like crap seeing all those unknown words for the second time. i'm not a native speaker and how the fuck would i know words like "teeter" or whatever. those simple words aren't even covered in any prep material. i have nightmares of my application getting thrown out because of my subpar gre score. i wish they set a different line for non-native speakers. my english isn't half bad and i've lived here for long enough, but those weird words nobody i know uses bug me every time.
  10. my plan b is to "work" as a housewife.....
  11. i tried a few times and got no reply. then stopped. now i'm regretting giving up...it's just frustrating after getting no reply and thinking that it might well be a signal of rejection.
