Thanks, RWBG. I'm just thankful that I have the option of going to LSE for a year. Hopefully, something else comes through, but there is always next year, and Ive already been thinking of a million tweaks to my application. Such a crazy experience. -

I really appreciate it. Here's to hoping they deliver us both good news! -

If Berkeley comes through today, it would be one of the biggest emotion swings of my life. From Ben and Jerry's alone on my couch to bottles and models. -

Hoping that I don't hear negative news from Berkeley and Yale today. That would all but end my cycle considering G'town essentially funds no one. -

ahhh now people are hearing from Yale? I wish I'd hear from someone! -

Thanks for the kind words. I'm excited about the MSc, and the opportunity to live in London for a year. I'm just feeling the usual angst, I'm sure -

Thanks for the video...it's good advice. You have incredible options. Good luck. For me, I still don't even know how a PhD acceptance email looks. -

So sad about Columbia and Yale. I've been absolutely pounded by this cycle, and am quite sad. So happy for everyone who has gotten into at least one PhD this season. Good luck to all. I will probably leave the board for a while and collect my thoughts. -

Same. I'd certainly be proud of your cycle, though. I'd kill for your options. -

Congrats on Columbia! I REALLY hope I get good news from them this week. -

I agree. I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone with this type of record. I can only hope to be a fraction as successful. Hopefully good news will be headed my way some day. Good luck in your future endeavors. -

I understand, but at this point, it would be comforting to know that I at least am not totally stupid for applying to top programs. Still having not heard anything back from anyone, but MIT, it is becoming kind of difficult to gauge the strength of my application. -

Hm well I guess I will be probably rejected in a few minutes. I just wish it was a mass email. -

Perhaps. I'd take a wait list from Stanford, no question.
