Smart crowd ..... enjoy your wkds!

Take your time TMP!

YAY! Congrats!

Oh praise be! You're just a cat lady & not a hurricane ... it would've been the biggest bait & switch since the Crying Game

Congrats!

Well that my an added wrinkle b/c you could be working for former academics & you would think they at least have contacts who could validate the worthiness of your program, no?

Well then if academia is your route of destination ... then I say look to program presgtige rather than overall school name recognition

There goes the stereotype that all Canadians are polite. Way to go Canadian grad schools!

Roger that

I am so happy April Fool's day falls on a Sunday!

How about a few days before orientation?

1 day and a wake up, then we're in April folks! Journey is almost over friends!

I think a question you have to honestly ask your: What do I want to do post grad? Now if you're going the academia route, you can choose a school like say Northwestern, if you're an African historian & those "in the know" will respect that degree (if your profs don't slander/libel you, on your way out the door). Conversely, if you are going to go work in a non-academic field, your employer might not necessarily be part of that the cognoscenti, thus if you have a degree in African history from Brown (this is an example not a fact folks), then you'll prolly do better if you're competiting w/someone w/a similar degree from say University of Florida. There's a reason why the ivies hold sway even @ the graduate level.

I say Tom's Diner!

Is it possible to spam on here?

I thought I did? Did you not get it? :-(

Roger that!

PLEASE don't tell me you're a Hurricane?!?!?!?! :-(

Oh then there would be a MASS uprising! Never underestimate what a grad student will do under duress

April is mere hours .... hmm that # is still too much ... mere days aways ... they can't ignore you for ever :-)

I'm so excited for all you guys! Really pumped!

Enjoy Sandy ... I will save my libelous material about that part of the world for another day ... try to get to Calle Ocho
