It is a most resplendid battle worthy to be compared to the one wagered on Crispin Crispian

Why are there people lurking on here @ this hour (0550L EST/0250L PST)?

Did you apply to the PhD program also?

Well if this wkd is going to be the calm before the storm, then I say, "lay on Macduff and damned be him who first cries, hold! Enough!" Or something similar to that sentiment, I suppose?

And in the same vein as Ralph Wiggum, I wanna go to Bovine University!

Well as it is the end of the business across Amurrica, let us all take a deep breath, and prepare fore the potentially super freakout of next week ... looking your direction SL ... I bet you can't WAIT to find out which of us will be your future colleagues

And shabat shalom to you too! Oh & congrats to Goldie!

I don't know you personally so I say this w/all due respect. Please don't jeopardize your health during these trying times. Hang in there and keep the Faith b/c regardless of the outcome if you aren't healthy enough, what will it all have been worth

See therein lies the issue: you shouldn't FEEL beholden to others b/c @ the end of the day, you did your part & as sucky as it is for those who are waitlisted, their fate is ultimately still in the hands of the school b/c someone else might be ahead of them on the waitlist. Do what is best for you & I know I haven't been waitlisted so it might seem hypocritical on my part but really I will feel this way EVEN if I'm waitlisted b/quite frankly I'm torn between the schools I've applied to & I would go to any of those schools. This isn't an easy time for anyone b/c we are dealing w/such an important time in all our lives. We need to have as much compassion for our fellow applicants be it those who are waitlisted, rejected, OR have been accepted b/c not everyone has a dream school that they'll give anything to go. Somehow this will all work itself out, so again I implore you my fellow applicants to pull back a bit from the intensity train

1. Gerald Ford was born Leslie Lynch 2. Gerald Ford was the first VP selected under the 25th Amendment 3. Gerald Ford was the only unelected POTUS, he was selected VP by Nixon 4. Gerlad Ford was the last college sports coach elected as POTUS 5. Gerald Ford was Homer Simpson's neighbor after the Bush family moved out of Springfield. He also offered Homer Nacho & a chance to watch football.

RIP to the fish. Enjoy the Big Pond in the sky homie!

Struck you as illegal?!?!?! This is blatant collusion! Some of the top schools more money than the others. Substantially more money so for them to plot like this is the detriment of the student!

General John J. Pershing received the nickname "Black Jack" due to the fact he was a commander of a buffalo soldiers unit

Well my issue is the whole 2 yr mandatory thing. I can see your pain/frustration though, having to uproot potentially not just yourself but others too can suck

That is the worst part, being dependent on the decision of other applicants as opposed to the schools. I wish there was a way all the schools would come together & do a draft of some sort. Everyone lists their top 7 programs in order & go from there

Well what's done is done right? :-)

He pondered & reflected why the arc had been thrown in the fashion that it had; what was the background of the thrower; what were the aims of the thrower; and what was the importance of completing level one.

Very true ... I wonder what the acceptance rate has been like ... as far as those who don't get PhD offers

The Roman emperor Caracalla derived his nickname from his cloak.

Well good morning fellow applicants (or supplicants I guess?), today is another day full of hope & wonder. Let your thoughts be positive and your outlook cheerful. Let us start another exciting episode of Is Today The Day?

Don't you listen to those naysayers!

It's OK you're among your fellow crazies ... shh shh there there

I nominate NE Nat for the 1st annual StrangeLight Memorial Award for Excellence

My schools won't start reporting till next week probably ... at least that's my guess ... I really should start thinking about if they accept me or not what I'll do etc ... or have I left that too late?

BTW poor form on my part but congrats to all who've gotten good news & to those w/not so good news keep your chin up
