just turned down FSU -- man, that was freaking hard

I find it highly suspect that they are releasing AFTER the 15th...I'm sure it was absolutely necessary....

Which field?

Hey all, Would love to hear insights on Notre Dame -- where the program is, where it might be headed, placement, etc. Thanks!

I'm currently in the process of negotiating for summer funding at my #1 choice -- my #2 choice offer is better in a few ways, most notably summer funding, so I'm negotiating with my first choice for summer funding...we shall see

Hey all, Just wondering if our economic woes -- resulting in programs scaling back on cohort size -- will mean the job outlook for those entering programs now will be that much better in 4-6 years? Presumably, there will be a smaller applicant pool at that point? Or, will current hiring freezes more than make up the difference and we'll all be screwed? :cry:

In addition facing the same financial concerns as everyone, ND also had to contend with an above-target yield in their 2008 cohort of 14 -- so, I think they are taking a very conservative approach and building off the waitlist when necessary instead of forcasting their yield for a target of 12. (and thus admitting more)

All I can tell you is the email I received last night was definitely a form email -- it wasn't sent personally, in other words...

Also in at ND -- informal email from DGS email arrived sometime in the last 30 minutes Field: American

jeeezzzz...ND is killing me!

has anyone heard anything from FSU? I noticed a couple admits early on, but nothing since...

Insomnia? Hell, I wake up, and I mean completely up, at 3:30 every damn night... it's like my body gets just enough sleep (3 or 4 hours) and then my brain takes over and says "got work to do!" ugh In fact, I wish I was writing my dissertation now because I certainly have enough time to do so!!!!!

techno must have some major mojo to get all these early emails!!!

I don't think ND is done notifying...I think that's going to actually start on monday...

I see a ND reject by mail on the results page... does anyone have any intel on Florida State?
