Grad Lad

I passed !!! yahoo!!!!

So, the College of Engineering in my univ. (Boston Univ) have this PhD Math qual exam. I just took it yesterday. There are 9 sections (differential equation, fourier analysis, etc... etc) and we had to choose 4. It is possible for a student to fail just one section and pass the other ones. Well, I didn't do so super in one of the sections and I might fail it... ~sigh~ Do you guys know how strict/lenient are the graders for the qual exam? I mean what's the typical passing rate for similar exams? I just can't bear the shame of failing it... my colleagues and everybody else did well.... arrgghhh help! :cry: Just need to get that out of my chest, I guess.... Thanx, the lad

Congratulations! Finally eh? I'm getting a TA appointment as well. I'm kind of nervous, been out of school for almost a year. I think the undergrads will be smarter than me.

I'm going to BU in Fall 2007. Anybody else?

Finally... I got answers from all the schools I applied to... (accepted 4 out of 6, 3 with financial aid). It's freaking over.

I heard from UCSD a couple of days ago with a rejection (I expect this). I still haven't heard from Brown University... isn't that ridiculous?

I'm going to Boston!!! Any tips on apartment hunting? When should I start looking? I will go to BU... should I give up and sell my lovely car? Yahoo!!! soo excited (but afraid of going broke as well).

Boston University. Electrical & Computer Engineering Ph.D. Weeee!!!!

I just rejected by UCSD (EE PhD). Seeing from the Results section, so many people did get their rejections yesterday. What the heck man?!?!?!

Hwahaha... that's funny... At the beginning of the application process, I was full of hope. Right now, it's all sheer hatred... hehe... :twisted: but still... Give me the envelopes! Now!... Mail me something!!

My acceptance notifications all came through emails, which were followed by envelopes containing 3-4 sheets of paper. My rejection notifications are pretty much big black stones with incriptions that said "You Suck"

So... I just can't wait anymore... I emailed Brown Univ.'s Engineering secretary to know my application status. She replied by saying that I should get an admission letter within a few weeks (what?). I mean first of all, I need to give decisions to other schools by April 15. Second, it's been soo late in the game and I'm still waiting for admission decision? Third... uhm... I'm so sick of waiting. I expect a rejection letter. So much for that.

Me! Me! Check out the Applied Sciences forum!

No problemo...The letter was postmarked March 28, btw... so it is a little late. I don't think they are done with all their admission decisions yet. The letter also said that the deadline for accepting the offer is April 15, as usual I guess...

I didn't get invited to open house visits from several universities that I applied to. Screw them! I don't need no sympathy BBQ. I'm gonna have my own crawfish boil!
