clangeroo Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Comparative, here. Are you sure you are going to MD, or still waiting to hear from others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'll chime in another vote from a current grad student for not worrying about contacting profs. If you want to know if your numbers make you competitive, there are admin staff who can answer that. But I can pretty much tell you how an email to my advisor would go. I assume that he'd reply (there's a decent chance he wouldn't, but he's generally no less than polite given the alternatives). His reply would be 2-3 sentences saying that he's glad you are interested and he thinks you should apply (unless there was something in your email that made him think you had zero probability of being selected by the admissions committee). Then, he'd completely forget everything about it because he's not on the admissions committee. kaykaykay and Gradhorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkmattson Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Welp, was wondering why I hadn't heard back from Cornell yet so I emailed them and turns out someone just forgot to send me my rejection letter. Oh well, at least now i know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxx Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I guess I have little hope of going to NW as well. Even now, so late into the game, I haven't received a single reply from any school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now, so late into the game, I haven't received a single reply from any school. don't despair! from your list of schools... no one has heard from Brown, Harvard, or Princeton. I think it's safe to assume that Duke is done with acceptances, but I wouldn't completely rule out UNC just yet. I can't speak to LSE or Oxford. Still a ways to go!

MyUSofWhatever Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Also in at Indiana - I'm super excited. This is my second go-around and Indiana is actually the only school that I re-applied to from last year. Hope everyone gets good news soon! clangeroo and PoliSwede 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliSwede Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Some kids seem to think way too highly of themselves judging from the comments in the results search. alittlebitofluck, RiffRam, kaykaykay and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cesare Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Some kids seem to think way too highly of themselves judging from the comments in the results search. I noticed that as well. Young and immature. Was probably told his/her entire life how wonderful they are by their parents/professors. Wait until they enter the real world. They are in for a shock, but will hopefully grow up quickly. PoliSwede, phdhope2013, RiffRam and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
