lightyears

So glad I wasted all that time writing a proposal...

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

Uh oh, my name starts with "H" and I haven't received a call..

I don't get it. I just checked out my rating sheets and they both say "Excellent" or "Very Good". The only negative comment on either of the sheets is "However, the applicant is not as strong as other applicants overall".

oh well, i'm sick of school anyway...

Didn't get it... come on DOE!

No, but I attended the visitation day last year and I'm a current student. Let me know if you have any questions.

So is everyone moved in? Any grad students buying a meal plan? I'm thinking about it, especially since my kitchen is pretty dirty and I don't have a dishwasher. I just don't want to be the only person eating alone. Is it possible to get the food to go so I can eat it at my apartment?

Housing assignments are up. I got Rains 2 bedroom.

Has anyone here applied for loans? Any idea on when we'll hear back?

I went with Rains, then Lyman, then Munger

My favorite professor got his PhD in mechanical engineering from Notre Dame. I don't know anything about the program though, sorry.

Yeah, that sounds about right. But your odds of getting accepted to the PhD program as a Stanford master's student are much, much higher than from outside the school. The A/E director said they'll soon be hiring a new professor, so that will open up space for about 6 new PhD students. I'm probably going to accept the offer this weekend too. I just filled out FAFSA, and since I worked full time last year, I don't know if I'll be eligible for any of the subsidized loans..

Do you already have a job lined up? Have you made your decision between schools yet? It's going to be rough, but since I'll probably continue for a PhD, I think going to Stanford is probably the right decision.

I'm starting to feel a little sick after looking more closely at all the expenses I will incur at Stanford. I know it's not a charity, but I find it hard to believe they don't have the resources for a couple extra assistantships or fellowships. I wish there was something I could do. A part time job won't even begin to scratch the surface of all the bills I'll be paying...
