"I simply don't buy that a graduate student at Stanford could honestly be as consistently rude, floundering, or self-contradictory." lolz. I do. Sorry, I don't mean to say that all Stanford students display this kind of behavior, but to assume the opposite is pretty funny to me. High intelligence by no means correlates with politeness. P.S. I propose we stop dissecting what were only slightly obnoxious comments now, and get back to some funny stories. JUST SAYING...

Never ran into this problem. When you have an account with the bank, they do not take anything to my knowledge. Or at least in my bank. That would seem ludicrous. You should take them to the bank of your choice and drop them into an account (hint: bank of america!!). Depending on where you live in PA (saw you in the thread) there's probably a bank right close to where you live. That one will probably work.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

That's a good suggestion. Part of me doesn't like spending 2 dollars a ride... Too used to driving.

Math major here going into a PHD program and I disagree with your answer. Knowing its between 0 and 1, you can say the denominator is not 0, and so 1-x is defined... so multiply 1+x by (1-x)/(1/x) and you get: (1-x^2)/1-x which for 0<x<1 is clearly less than 1/(1-x) since (1-x^2)<1 (since their denominators are the same, this is true) That's the pure math way to do it, however on the test if I were you I would just plug in a value in (0,1) and see what happens. If you plug in a half you would see the first value is 2 while the second value is 3/2. Since there isn't any tricks you can run into here, it'd of been a safe bet to just choose 1/(1-x). Also in your "limiting case," that is also not correct. Zero is not included in the interval, so in no way does x=0 matter. At all other points in the interval besides x=0, the first is bigger, and therefore 1/(1-x) is again the right answer. **thought I was posting on my account, but turns out my girlfriend was logged in, sorry about that.

Scoring an 800 on verbal should offset any 40 odd points you missed on quant. Lots of people in sciences (like biology) will tell you that you need above a 700 quant, but I know a girl who got a 640 quant but a 720 verbal and had no problem going to UPenn for a bio phd...

I'm assuming you are trying to go to an econ grad program? I know people in my school aim to take an introduction to Real Analysis and get an A in it. That class is used as an indicator most of the time in fields outside of math. I don't think taking extra lower math classes would be necessary or beneficial depending on where you're going. I think you should be taking all grad level classes in the field you wanna go into... but that's just my opinion.

I still think people over think and over complicate these things. I from what I've read especially the post above you, I completely agree with that poster. It's not acceptable to be as old (or older) as we are and to be acting like that. Yes, life's hard, it sucks sometimes, but at some point you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something about it. Everyone's smart on this forum, and I'd bet this poster is too, she just needs to get it together. ***posted on my girlfriends account... thought I was logged in as myself... oooops

I applied as a senior and my project was not what I did as an undergrad but it used related experimental techniques.

I received the award with VG/E E/E and VG/E. Comments were kind of funny in that you can really tell how little time they have to read our apps. One reviewer said how I could have improved my app had I done some more conferences outside of my University. In fact, I had done this but the other University I went to has a name similar to my undergrad so I guess he/she just read it fast. No complaints here though of course, but that is really a shame if that happens and someone loses out on an award because of it. They should give them a little more time.

I got the official email that I had been awarded one at 313AM.

I couldn't get the list to load either but I logged onto my account and saw my official letter!! Yay!!! Good luck everyone!
