Bears shit anywhere they want. Check please good sir.

I nominate Ironheel for most likely to spend his graduate career at a sporting event.

Anyone have any information on UVA?

Is anyone else still waiting on UVA? It seems they made a wave of acceptances with fellowship nominations in early Feb. but its been quiet ever since. Does anyone have any news?

Still haven't heard anything from Columbia, which is strange because i'm sure a rejection is on its way.

I'll just ask Mitt Romney since he has some "friends who are NASCAR team owners." Not to bring nonsensical U.S. politics to this hallowed ground.

I'm still here bird. And it looks like i'll be hanging around until April at least. Good to see you're not free-riding on the cathartic vibes promoted by this once robust community, not saying that anyone else is either, but I suspect there is a tendency to abandon this site once you've found a suitable offer and can begin other healthy obsessions. Where did you decide on by the way? I remember you posting about narrowing things down a little earlier.

UC Irvine is definitely on the rise. South Carolina is pretty strong in IR but may be trending "even". And I have absolutely no clue on Kansas. Unfortunately history shows that the top 25 stays pretty stagnant, with the exeption of schools who improve their methods sequence and get a bump. I don't expect to see much change when the new rankings come out (whenever that is). As the future prospective inheritants of the discipline, making substantial changes in regard to the incestuous nature of the discipline's top programs is largely up to us.

Calling me out! I see how it is. I expect to be waiting at least until April, Illinois is a top school to the point where they should remain in consideration for a long time i'd imagine.

I agree with this sentiment. The plea is not for those with 4 offers from top 20 schools to choose without proper consideration. It's a plea to inform the "safety" school which you don't even intend to visit, that you don't intend to attend. There is a big difference.

Well i'm glad you were able to avert the car accident. You have some impressive choices! Good luck!

Congratulations! What type of Theory are you interested in?

Amazing news! Congratulations.

Still anxiously awaiting a UVA decision. No news thus far.

I second this emotion.
