Very interesting. It only had two of the places I applied, though, so I'm still worried about overlapping interviews.

Loans, mostly. At least that's my impression.

That's a good point. Thanks!

I was wondering this too. I just got engaged and I don't want admissions committees to be concerned about that. I'm torn. As @Blackwater said, do I really want to go somewhere that's going to judge me based on my marital status. But also are they going to be worried that my wedding/marriage might interfere with my work?

So many of those emails. SO many. Today I got one from a school I applied (which also happens to be my alma mater) but they were just announcing their new online MBA program. Don't toy with me like that!

Happy birthday! Hope you get some good news soon!

Good grief

If you hover over or click on the little red diamond after the date, you can see them. Not everyone provides them.

I was just wondering about that. That can't be real, can it? On the off chance that it is, can that person who got apparently every interview ever on the same day please PM me? ?

It really, really is.

Harvard poster--can you tell me more? Has the shortlist been contacted? Did you reach out to the POI? If you're comfortable, can you PM me your POI?

Can the person who posted the Utah clinical interview PM me your POI? Thank you!

Out of curiosity, what programs at Boston and Hopkins? Waiting suuuuucks!

Actually, a lot of people will have similar timelines. I graduated from undergrad in 2010, so you're certainly not alone. Being a little bit older could actually help your application rather than hurt it (maturity). As long as you can point to those years as productive, it's not an issue.

This is amazing. That would totally make my day. I met a service dog at my work named General Custer. It was the highlight of my day.

That's insane. I had a student throw a fit because I gave him a low grade on a paper because it didn't do the assignment I asked for. But I've never seen a department just give them the grade. That just encourages this kind of behavior.

Zodiac Killer (or Ted Cruz)

I need to condense mine, too. I need to make it easier to find stuff quickly when I'm undoubtedly flustered.
