I was informed by a professor that I'd be receiving a TA job. I am yet to receive any exact figures. I need some help with my financial planning. The fees they have listed are $ 26,000 tuitions and fees $ 14,000 other expenses Is the following true: 1. TA's get tuition waiver so $26000 is taken care of? 2. TA's get a stipend of atleast $1000? 3. TA's get health coverage ? 4. TA's get housing? Thank you .. If all of the above are true , I am one rich Kid :D

Scr** her man! You dont need her to tell you what you are and are not! If you are letting her put you down then you probably deserve to be put down! Break the M-F'in shackles and do your thing. Dont fight back .. Just be on your toes .. Don't give her a chance to mess with you. Things will get better. Let us know what happens.. Best of Luck.

I've taken a year off and here are some of my observations: 1. Back when i was doing my engineering, i thought 'Man this is tough. I so want to start working now.' But believe you me, engineering was nothing compared to what you have to do at work. 2. Now That I go back to school, i'm actually relieved coz it will actually be 'Time off' , its bound to be easier than working full time. Plus when I get back to working, I will be respected even more for being a Graduate. 3. The 1 year off gave me a whole new perspective. As a student in undergrad, i was so involved in my own little world (girls, parties, gym) that I did not care to look at the so called ' real world '. Well now i can say, ' been there, done that'. 4. The 1 year i worked, i managed to save some money. It will help me with needing only small student loans. All in all, I am very glad i took 1 year off. You mature 10X faster than what you would have done had you spent that year in school ! Ciao

Hey I will most likely get a letter of acceptance from Building Construction Management (College of Technology) in the next few days. Had an amazing interview on phone . Anyone else applying to that?

Damn 200+ Views to this thread and 2 replies ... Still no word from Stanford ... Damn! whats happening?! aargh

For all we know, the Wait-List could just be a bowl containing names of applicants. Its like a lottery. Un-ranked, un-biased pure LUCK. Like 'Two-face' from batman always says,"The world is cruel. And the only morality in a cruel world is Chance. Unbiased...unprejudiced...fair." I have been wait-listed at my #1 priority school. They have asked me to call them tonight .. Don't expect a decision today though ... I'm sure they are gonna ask me to call again next week. Its almost mundane now.

These people are heartless asses who do not care about the emotions of people they are playing with! Wow ! congrats .. that almost never happens. And with funding?! .. Amazing .. They are so far north that probably they are having a brain freeze

Its almost MAY. I am still waiting for my admission offers from 2 universities. At times like these, one begins to doubt whether the admission committee people are really on the planet we like to call, "THE EARTH". I am sure there are many like me, whose dream universities have kept them on a waitlist or not replying to their calls/emails. This is where u can express your frustration. Vent out your anger here people!

YES, I am still on the waiting list! They have asked me to call next Tuesday (3rd of May) and said that I will hopefully get a final decision. =( . Whats taking them so long?

I have an interview scheduled tomorrow night. Because im an International Student, its gonna be over the phone. Bah, I dont know what they are gonna ask me about. Any suggestions on how I should approach it?

welcome to the club! I sent my application in nov 2010. It took me 15 emails and 8 calls to get some info from them. They said i was "waitlisted" . Whatever that means! and what the frick are my chances?

I sent them a mail asking about my wait-list ranking .. no reply .. :| .. I called the university and they said, " You will hear about the final decision ummm... next week ( long pause) ..... maybe". I was like "Thank you very much. You have been extremely helpful".

After a lot of effort ( 15 emails and 8 calls) i have come to know that i'm on the waiting list of Stanford CEE department for MS CEM Program. What are my chances? What does waitlist mean anyway?
