contretemps

This is EXACTLY what I did.

Just wondering what do you people do to keep yourself preoccupied? How do you keep yourself from being obsessed in waiting for the decision e-mail? The wait is killing me. I have nothing to do in the Christmas break so I imagine myself being in the computer all-day pressing the refresh button. I can't believe I have to wait until the end of January for the results (according to last year's results page).

LOL, neither do we.

I'm glad the LOR stress is over. However, one of my schools (JHU) either lost my IELTS score report or they threw it out. I'm resending it again through fedex, and I hope it will reach there within this week. Ugh. It's like I'm bleeding out money for all these apps.

my undergraduate thesis is 18,500 words. LOL.

I'm still waiting for the responses of the other schools I've applied to though. If I'm accepted at my top choice (Chicago), I'll probably go there.

Is it the amount of stipend? school ranking? the city? research fit? You see, I was accepted in a US School for PhD Chem and in a school in Paris for MS Chem. How do I choose? I'm torn between the two because one is in Paris! (who doesn't like to go to Paris?) while the other is a relatively more prestigious school. I just don't want to regret my decision later. Any thoughts?

I also encountered this. What I did was I added the living expenses and tuition fees in the website they provided. I don't know if that's correct though.

1. Exact score on the new scale 2. 10-15 days, I think. 3. Not applicable.

Nice! yeah, like you I'm just happy to know I'm going somewhere next year.

In the US, it's either 12AM or 1AM. then convert that time in your time zone.

Mine too! UF was my only school with complete letters, and luckily they responded early. I'm an international student. GPA: 3.75 GRE Q160/V157/W4 GRE Subject Test: 840 No publications yet, I've been teaching chem lab in my school, research experience in a biochem lab.

I'm officially starting the wait for University of Chicago. Only 1 letter left for the two other schools I'm applying to!

Got in to two schools last year. The first one I was waitlisted, then a student backed out so I took his place. After much preparation and (almost) applying for a visa, that student came back so I was rejected. The second one, I was accepted. 2 weeks before my flight and I was all packed and ready to go, when the admissions coordinator told me that I am not qualified for that degree. I told almost everyone that I am leaving, and imagine the explaining I had to do when they saw me, still in the country, jobless. I hope the "confuse me with someone else nightmare scenario" doesn't happen to me. ugh.

First admit of the season! (I checked and this seems legit, haha) University of Florida, TA, $22,000. I submitted my application on December 1 and the LORs were just completed yesterday. They really do what they say in the website: "Decisions are made as rapidly as possible."

oops sorry, I viewed your post.

I should add: Inorganic Chemistry Miessler and Tarr (never really liked Housecroft) Analytical Chemistry Skoog

Maybe you should include a gift. It's christmas anyway!

ETS releases them very early to tempt you into wasting your 12$. But the scores will not appear in the mygre page until the date indicated in nechalo's post. btw, I still haven't received either my general or subject scores in the mail!

No, they won't wait for the subject scores. The score report that they will receive only has the general scores since the subject scores is not yet available. If you want them to receive the subject scores too, you should request additional score reports. (Unless you have already put the same schools when you registered for the subject test)

This is actually depressing to me, I don't know why.

Some schools keep your score reports while some don't. It's best to confirm this with them.
