      Congrats, gellert! If I recall, you had expressed some doubt regarding your prospects a week or two ago. I am happy for you that things might not have been as they seemed. I will keep my fingers crossed, and send you plenty of good vibes.

      thanks! it's not my initial plan, but i'm fine with taking a couple of years off if it gets me where i want to be in the end. :)

      I had a very similar experience during my 1st grad app cycle, except that I turned down the one school (cog neuro) that was very basic research oriented and I wanted to do much more applied cog sci/education research. I took 2 years working as a research associate at a learning research center at a top R1, and ended up getting multiple offers that fit me better the 2nd time around. You'll be just fine :)

  2. academia.edu says i've been googled four times in the past two days. ugh i'm getting nervous. (and excited!)

      academia.edu only gives results if they find/access your academia.edu profile via the search. but fwiw, my name is extremely uncommon and all the search keywords have included my undergrad institution. so yep, no escaping it, and no doubt it is what it is. :/ (:D? )

  3. Accepted! I told myself I wouldn't give up, and I didn't. It was so, so worth it.

  4. almost done with my philosophy term paper. i think i can, i think i can....

  5. Been done with all apps for a few days now. Such a surreal feeling.

  6. feeling good today. lots of positive email responses from POIs!

  7. finds it very difficult to study for the GRE with mono.

  8. fingers crossed to meet with potential POI on Friday! :D

  9. Got Honorable Mention for the NSF GRFP. Better luck next year!
