Turning down offers?

That's too bad. I was rooting for ya. In fact, I was almost as uneasy about the applications of some of the regulars around here as I was about my own. You get invested in the success of the people you go through the application process with, and even moreso the folks who seek your advice.

Anyway, good luck in the coming cycle. You are probably starting to think about schools already, and investigating websites for information to help guide your SoP writing. I know I was already plugging away by August the last time around.

Either way, if you need my advice, for whatever it's worth, I'll be around. Graduate applications may seem somewhat arbitrary, but there are tricks one picks up after haunting the grad communities for a few years. I, like the other moderators and regular posters around here, am here to help.
