I'm sure we'll work with each other at some point. So excited!!

Thanks, wildviolet! It definitely has been wonderful talking with all of you for the past few months. Whoa, I just realized it has nearly been half a year!!! I will send you a PM.

Awesome! Congratulations

Yes, I'm in C&I. Are you as well?

Hey Pourtant!! We might be out there during the same time (I'll be there from 4/5 - 4/8). I'm going to try and find a place to live next year. I went in December and loved it!

Aww, thanks!!

Yeah, I agree with a few other people and I think you should visit also. I visited Madison in December (before I was accepted) and I'm glad I did because they also did not offer money for a campus visit, although I have received a fellowship for the program. I'm glad I went because during my visit, it immediately became my top choice. I fell in love with the program and the city in a way that I couldn't have simply by reading about it and communicating with people electronically. I wonder if there is a way for you to get a cheaper ticket. Maybe you can name your own price on Priceline? I've had tremendous success with this for hotels and rental cars, but I've never tried for a flight. It might be worth investigating.

Yeah, I was rejected from Berkeley as well. No worries, I've already accepted Madison's offer

I think a lot of people are just unaware of how grad school funding works. But he does sound like he was trying to be an intentional downer. Jealous, maybe? You'll have a BLAST in grad school

I'm going to UW Madison. It is my #1 choice!!

Safe travels and have fun!!!

Congrats, Wildviolet!!!

Congrats!!! That's awesome news SoCal is my home base

I hope you feel better soon. I was sick a few weeks ago

Congrats, Airwick!! I'm excited for you Firebird, I'm sure your remaining choices will work out! I hope you find something else to brighten your spirits this weekend.

I hope you keep/use your own advice, since I know you're waiting on a call. It's not over until you receive a rejection. Sending mucho positivity your way

Congrats, wayoutwest!!! Exciting 24 hours

Hey! I'll be coming to Madison in the fall from the southeast (although I am originally from California). I am also nervous about finding a place, especially since I don't know the area. I am not sure how soon I should start looking for a place.

Congrats!! You're so sweet!! I love communicating with everyone on here too!! Hitomimay, well USC is all yours!! I'm excited for you

FutureEdStudent, I love your new picture!!

Thanks everyone! I'm super excited! It never hurts to contact the program secretary. I think there's a delay with the online notification...

No more tension! I finally received an offer from Madison and it comes with funding TexanLex, hold out - I'm sure you'll hear soon enough!

Hitomimay, I'm glad you're opting for the PhD! Wildviolet, I'm only adding this since we've been accepted to the same program, Michigan State's overall ranking is lower, but for our field (Curriculum and Instruction) they're ranked number 2. I have to keep remembering this myself, especially when it's so easy to get caught up in the overall rankings of top tier R1 institutions. Andsowego, I agree! I just want to be at a place that has a rep in my field and scholars doing work in my research area. ZeChoc, I think you've given perfect advice.
