Yes, forgot UNC.

There's Texas A&M, Kansas State and not a whole lot else.

Yeah, but it would probably fall more under sociology than history. A friend of mine did her thesis about people leaving Mormonism. That was pretty interesting actually.

But Oakland is.

For some. I'm proof that there really are foxhole atheists.

That's what waitlists are usually used for, but depends on the school how they work things. I have no idea with Columbia.

congrats to the future Yale people!

I think if you brought that to Vegas, it would get your kneecaps broken.

Ok, I will set odds at Princeton and Yale at even that we hear something this week. Harvard is 3 to 2. Dartmouth I think I'll follow Oseirus' 8 to 1. Brown I'll put at 4 to 1. Columbia at 5 to 1. Penn I think 3 to 1. Cornell at 6 to 1.

Congrats TMP!

MM, have to think of this and handicap it out.

It all depends on where the line is set. Thanks to the Giants, I made money on the Super Bowl.

But then they wouldn't get your (nonrefundable) application fee.

You want to get into college? Have you tried applying somewhere yet? Would be a good place to start.

Costco carries a lot of the bigger cuts. I hate going there though, you can't get out of that store without spending $200.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Sorry for the rejections everyone. It sure sucks.

Cohort size is relative to how big a department is generally. How many professors are there as compared to grad students? Are you going to a school with 40 professors that lets in a cohort of 60 or more, or are you going to a place with a department of 15 professors who lets in 4 or 5 students?If you get into one of those big departments, there are professors who don't even know everyone else in their own department, much less any of the students.

The people with the real power are the department secretaries. Always a good idea to get on their good sides.

Mormon Utah was the first state to ever elect a Jewish governor.

WQ A funded master's is hardly losing out on your dream. Just one step along the way.

Email. I asked POI and he said he didn't have good news to report about my application. Honestly no big surprise, I didn't really fit well with their program.

Bad news from Berkeley for me. Didn't really expect to get in there, but still kind of sucks.
