humanature Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 ...would you go regardless of what school it was? I only applied to three schools, and while I have a "top choice" I'd be happy with any of them. I kind of wonder what I'd do if only accepted to one school with zero funding, esp considering I have a stable job (though I really don't want to stay here any longer). Was wondering what other people thought of this? Though I think most people on this board applied to more than three schools, increasing their chances of having a choice :wink: I applied to 5 schools, and I'm at different stages with all of them! Luckily, I have one acceptance to sit on and I'm extremely happy with it. Although after my last interview weekend it's not really my top choice, I would be peachy choosing to go there... considering I am coming straight from undergrad and don't have the option to just continue in a job where I would presumably make lots more $$$. Also, I suppose I am very lucky to not have to worry about funding, since most bio-science programs offer full stipends. Both UCLA & Berkeley offer $27,000/year for up to 5 1/2 years.
feisty Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 So far I've only been accepted to one, and I would--and probably will--go there. I only applied to "reach" schools, and would be beyond honored to attend any of them. Being only a year out of college, with no plans or responsibilities other than my rent, I figured I could afford to be picky.
Sonic Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Some of my schools have begun notifying accepted students, but so far, no news for me. At this point I really am just hoping for one acceptance, and am very glad I only applied to schools I'd love to attend!
