  1. I TOLD YOU!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!
  2. URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT! It's a new day. No debating or arguing. It's a happy day! LOTS of good news for us all today. Happy Day! Happy Friday!
  3. Progress! Congrats! One more step to admission!
  4. That's okay. That was not my only comment (so you have others to "learn" from) and there is something to be learned from that comment, but that's okay if you do not see it or agree. I reluctantly entered this debate and it was foolish of me to enter the debate.
  5. You are incorrect. That is NOT at all my intent. I asked a question. I am not leading TMCB anywhere. I truly want to hear his/her opinion - in detail, with some explanation or justification of his/her opinion. That's all. I hope TMCB will provide answers. I believe the issues are very important.
  6. Thanks for sharing this. This should help others in the future. For those in Russia I found this: http://moscow.usembassy.gov/oi.html and the main site: https://www.educationusa.info/ Specific info here: http://www.educationusa.info/special_edusa_programs.php Good luck to all!
  7. I assure you I am calm. Very calm. Learning from others and hopefully some are learning from me.
  8. Thank you zudei! In some countries, it is 12 times the monthly minimum wage. 3-5 times the salary of middle level employees. The initial comment and similar comments bother me a lot. It reflects the fundamental misunderstanding of the rest of the world by Americans - and I say this as someone who has spent most of my life in America. No wonder American foreign policy is so foolish.
  9. Hello TMCB, I would be happy if you could answer the question you posed below: What is the objective definition of the "real world"? Also, I would also be happy if you could share with me/us what is the purpose of "understanding and predicting" i.e. to what purpose do we "understand and predict" - which is what you say is the mission of the academia and science. Thank you!
  10. deleted again! formatting errors!
  11. Deleted due to formatting error. Will repost...
  12. This is one of the best posts on this forum in a long time, in my opinion; particularly, the bolded portions. Some questions for you Fallenvirgo: 1. Why does the academy persist in publishing "on minute matters that have absolutely nothing to do with the real world"? 2. Why is there so little world changing activity or research coming from the academy? Glad to hear your thoughts and those of others. Thanks again for the post.
  13. Wonderful story that gave me a few goose bumps. It's so good to see when our mentors, teachers, advisers, etc truly invest in us, believe in us and want us to succeed. This dynamic is sadly not too common, but magically special when it does exist! Congratulations! P.S. I hope you are still in touch with your PI.
  14. Hello IRToni! Did any of the schools at least seize the opportunity when they replied you to indicate when they will release decisions? Perhaps you could use such info to update your very useful spreadsheet. Thanks!
  15. Super fantastic list. Thank you Ms. C_O!
  16. That's exactly what we all would have wished... Keep the faith!
  17. Good move! Did they all respond or just NYU?
  18. At least that's progress. Did you inform the other schools you applied to or just NYU?
  19. It's not at all good that University of Chicago treats applicants that way. Can't they all be like the wonderful Prof BFB?!
  20. Congratulations!
  21. Does this mean you no longer funding?
  22. Congrats! DGS or the AdComm Chair, I would guess.
  23. A hearty congratulations to you! Very happy for you. What's your subfield?
  24. Perhaps you should email them; that should be the best way to get a definitive answer.
