JessePinkman Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 So I am kinda thinking of applying again next fall as i didnt get into my top 2 choice universities! How many of you are in the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_sheath Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 And follow up question: why did anyone ever decide to pay to be in this boat? I am actually curious, because I was in this boat until March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessePinkman Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 I would have happily attended Purdue! But due to some personal problems which came up I am unwilling to spend that much on Purdue. So I'll be applying next fall! But theres still a small chance of me going to Purdue! Lets see.

fuzzylogician Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 So I am kinda thinking of applying again next fall as i didnt get into my top 2 choice universities! How many of you are in the same boat? I have to ask -- According to your signature, you applied to 9 schools and got into at least 3. But you're talking as if only two of these 9 schools are schools you're actually in attending, with a third maybe. Isn't it a waste of a lot of time and money applying to school you never intended to attend in the first place? Gvh, Vene and Taeyers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessePinkman Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes! I told you some personal problem came up! Thats why! Otherwise i would've went to any of the school I got an admit from. Even if it was my last choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBums1028 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I've also decided to try again next fall. I was admitted into three of the four programs I applied to, and was invited to interview at the other. In my field, a huge emphasis is placed on graduate assistantships and I wasn't able to obtain one. Financially speaking, I'm uncertain how I will afford it without a GA as well. Add to that a close relative with who was undergoing cancer treatment learning that his situation can't be improved and getting a new job, I've decided waiting is the best thing for me right now. Next application cycle though I'll probably have a greater sense of urgency, so if I'm unable to get a GA again I will probably just end up enrolling anyway.
