RevolutionBlues Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Big funding rejection from Wisconsin. They did say, however, that if I were to uproot my life, move halfway across the country, and beg-borrow-steal the $20,000+ it would cost for just the first semester I might, just might, be able to get some kind of funding for the other half of the year. It looks like my decision process will be very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like my decision process will be very easy. Wow. I'm actually kind of glad I got rejected from Wisconsin... I don't understand why they would admit people and then deny funding, especially for out-of-state applicants who just won't be able to afford the tuition.

uhohlemonster Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 HAHA Lureynol, remember just about a month ago we sat in Tea Lounge and discussed our fears and anxieties? And now look at us! Both of us got into great programs! Wow. (Yes grad cafe, Lureynol and Monster met in person and know each others real names and faces! TEEHEHEHE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhohlemonster Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 @Pugsley, I don't know, I'm so overwhelmed at the moment! Rutgers has been my top choice because I felt this very real connection with my POI and she felt similarly. At the same time, there's almost no doubt in my mind that NYU offers more money, and since I live in Brooklyn, the commute to New Brunswick was going to be a huge bummer and stress factor. I'm going to take it day by day, speak to my New School professors about it (who I would literally be lost without), and go from there... I definitely want to talk to my POI at Rutgers about this and hear what she says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhohlemonster Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hey thanks guys! Oseirus, 12 mitzvot is a lot! But one mitzvah that will count for two on shabbat is having sex (with a husband or wife for the purpose of makin babies), so if you are in the situation to earn this DOUBLE MITZVAH in the next 24 hours, you'll save a little bit of time for the other 10 mitzvot you plan to do...

uhohlemonster Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We always take the double mitzvah seriously when making out at Jewish summer camp, so I say yes oseirus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogs of War Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have no idea what any of you are talking about, but I get the distinct feeling I should curl up in a ball in the corner and start muttering "I need an adult, I need an adult." oseirus, runner09 and Hogs of War 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
