I got an acceptance today from U of Georgia, close to my last choice. I've been rejected from everywhere else so far (Stanford, UCSD, UT Austin, Arizona) and am still waiting to hear from UCSC (close to my first choice) but not holding my breath. I have to wait another week to hear about money. I'm thinking I won't go without a free ride since I've barely even heard of the UG ling dept. Anyone else know anything about this school? I will be looking for a job when I'm done, and although I tell myself my work speaks for itself, its possible coming from a no-name dept will not look good. So I'm asking you people to reassure me, and tell me all about how UG is an up and coming dept with lots of interesting projects and work. . . Its hard to get a feel for a dept from the website, and I suppose I'll go and visit before I decide. . . what do you all think? Anyone else here accepting their bottom of the barrel choice? This is good, right? Why do I feel so nervous?
