[Pre-grad school bucket lists...]

Finish the Dark Tower series (only two books left)

Universal Studios Orlando (just want to go to theme park and have some fun while I can)

Not a lot of stuff, but then I have to start getting ready to basically start over.

Anyone got apartment suggestions?

[LOR thank you]

Personally, I stopped by their offices and took them a little gift (roughly $10 each maybe a little less) and told them the news. I know that is not possible for a lot of people but if the LOR writers are within a reasonable distance then telling them personally is a nice touch. It was also nice for me to be able to tell them. If they are too far to drive to, then a "Thank You" card with a hand written message would be good.

[Didn't get accepted anywhere... now what?]

A lot of good suggestions here. All I know is the same stuff as everyone else. Try to get a paid position or at least volunteer in the field you want to go into. Show the people next go around that this is what you want and you are dedicated to it. Good luck and keep the faith (this was my second season for Ph.D. programs with 0 success last year and acceptance this year).

I plan to stick around. It is nice to be able to talk to other grad students and get opinions.

What would one need to do if they were interested in volunteering as a moderator? Just an open post saying "I want to be a mod" or should a pm be sent?

[Second Time Around]

This was my third trip. My first time was for masters programs and I got in. Then last year was Ph.D. and no go there. This time I was accepted to one school (and it has funding). So I am very happy with the results. Successful application season.

[Does anyone feel like they made the WRONG choice?]

I got into one place, so no buyers remorse here. I actually am really happy about the place that I got into and would have picked it over many of the others that gave the ole 'no thanks'.
