  1. dreamt last night that the school I am on the wait list for, called me and before she could say anything I said "I accept! Thank you!", but thye were asking me to come interview. Then I brought my banjo and started playing. Cannot wait for this to be over.

      No, I do not own or know how to play a banjo, lol. This is the stress of being on a waiting list.

  2. anybody else find the task of keeping up with one's field intimidating and overwhelming?

      I think about this a lot, especially since I am changing fields. I'm big into systems theory so the fact that everything is connected to everything else, makes it daunting, so the challenge for me is to keep my eyes on the trees (my area of specialty) while not forgetting the forest (the rest of the field)!

  3. Happy month until April 15th!

  4. Seems like more PhD acceptances are showing up on the results board. Maybe my wait list statius is coming to an end...

  5. on the waitlist for a #3 ranked program. Do you think anyone will turn them down?

      That's what I'm afraid of; their financial offer is very generous, so I'm hoping an accepted person finds a better fit elsewhere. My fingers are crossed though!

  7. Maybe it's just me but I think it is sort of rude for people to ask you your stats... you can't just run a linear regression and come up with a formula for acceptance. If people want to post stats, they will but if they don't, respect their privacy ... just a thought.

  8. Not having a phone w internet access was a complete drag. What in the hell did I do for the first 22 years of my life before the iPhone?

      I love my iphone. Yea, I can't watch flash, but I honestly do not think I could switch back to an ordinary smartphone.

  9. I wonder WHY the Math and Science folks find out so much earlier than the rest of us...?

      I've decided that the math and science fields must be more cut and dry. You either have the knowledge/experience or you don't.
