You'll notice a lot of the schools are misspelled and I do not think it is on purpose (though very amusing). I know that when you start to type it in, you pick some of the first ones that pop up and the most popular ones are typically odd - but you don't notice right away! The most common MIT posting spells Massachusetts with 3 a's (Massaaachusetts), the University of Washington Seattle one starts with a quotation sign, etc. It's like it incorrectly auto-corrects it for you based on what you start to put in and whichever is most used. I inadvertently reported receiving an answer from the wrong program because I typed in the major and Grad Cafe changed it for me without me noticing. It's a very weird situation. In spite of all that, yes, I chuckle every time a school or discipline is spelled wrong. My personal favorite is that Physics defaults to "Physics" as though the website thinks it is a pseudo degree.

I was going to post that one, but then thought that I would look too stalkerish by having posted so many in one day. I'm glad you posted it, though, because it made me giggle.

emjayco Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 I think I'm more addicted to this forum and reading people's responses then I am to even finding out my own final decisions. At this point, like people have said, I just want to know, but I might keep stalking people's high-quality reactions to acceptances and rejections. surprise_quiche, perpetualalligator and Larissa Goulart 3
