Best part of applying to graduate school: people getting confused and thinking you are there as an undergrad. Conversation on the airplane last week: Guy Next To Me (GNTM): Where are you headed this early? Me: I'm going on an official visit to the engineering school at (Insert Ivy League University here). GNTM: Are you already admitted? Me: Yes GNTM: Oh, what is your GPA? I have a son who is also thinking about applying there for a PoliSci degree. Me: Well, I have a 3.97. GNTM: My son should definitely get in then because he has a 3.98 and a ton of extracurriculars. Me: I am entering the PhD programs. That 3.97 is my college GPA. GNTM: Oh....... (awkward silence) -
I didn't apply to the program, but I know they have made at least some admissions decisions. I was at the admitted students visit day for a different program in the civil and environmental engineering department and some people from that program were there.
