wait I kept thinking this was the dream thread. Oops

I had a nightmare last night about a world invasion by robots. Everyone I knew was turning into robots. They'd visit us at night pretending to be normal, and we'd have to kill them by stabbing them to death because otherwise they'd leave and come back with more robots and raid our house, and turn us into robots. If we left the lights off, they would think we're not home. But my genius mom managed to leave every single light in the house on. As we were rushing to turn the lights off, there was a knock on the door, and we opened the door to two robots who proceeded to killing everyone in the house. I escaped and went to the gun store to get a shotgun, and suddenly knew that I had to drive to this location where the central computer was, and blow it up with benzene. As I was driving, my best friend called me, but I didn't pick up, because I thought he was probably a robot by now. My boss at work was telling me how powerful the explosion would be. But I was captured, witnessed two other people being tortured to death, and that's when I woke up. . . there were more details, but they're all starting to blur in my memory. I laid there with this feeling that a robot was laying next to me with my back turned, staring at me with beady eyes, and ready to slit my throat. man...

sandiego brings up a good point about asking for actual feedback. I'm thinking about doing that myself. I mean if I paid a $125 application fee, I want to get something out of it other than a dumb rejection letter.

A weird academic wha?? I thought it was just common sense.

ONE acceptance?

you're going to regret it in the morning

I hop

I realize our deadlines were mostly a little later than the typical Dec 15 deadline. Mine were mostly Jan 1. I suppose that's why I haven't heard back from more schools. But I am counting the seconds here waiting for responses from UC Davis CU Boulder UMass Amherst (polymer sci/eng) If anyone knows the situation with the admission process here, please update them here. In addition, feel free to update any information on the application process in general. Eg. first round, second round, waitlist, all that stupid crap. Thanks!
