Hey.. this is all great info, so I thought I'd get some advice too.

Picking between UMich and VT.

Any thoughts on program differences between the two? Or insight on program philosophy for one or the other?

Thanks, and congrats to all.

I was hoping that I would get something in the mail today - but I didn't. Kinda disappointing week for me. Usually I love the weekend, but now I just want it to be Monday so I can get some sort of notification from my schools.

I'm in the same boat as you Cou. Anyword right now is better than no word. Bring on Monday.

did anybody hear anything about $$ when they got their MIT or GSD phone calls? i didn't bring it up, figured if there was money they would have said so.

ahouseapalace

to answer your question, ohmygosh: got parsons envelope today in the mail preceded by a phone call.

ahouseapalace, you should get $$$ info in a big packet of acceptance materials from GSD in a day or two. they just mailed them out yesterday, but I live about a mile away so I got mine today.

$15K in grants, woo! now I just need to find another $19,000/year...

thanks for the parsons info. i have still only heard from 1 of the 7 schools i applied to ... i'm very calm, very ...

man. hope is dimming incrementally. day after day after day. 0/6.

ive already begun activating plan B.

@ snarkitekt: $15K... congrats! i am still worrying about how to finance myself. in asia at this moment, i probably won't receive the packet until april.

citrus.grey

Congratulations on the cash snarkitect. To second that ahousapalace, MIT said the financial stuff will be included in the packet but i'm not sure when they're mailing that stuff out.

I agree modernmonk, I'm a bit concerned about financing as well.

mrbren -- what's plan b? i've been lazily formulating one for myself. so far, it involves a sherpa and mt.everest.

Mar 16, 08 1:23 am  ·

Brendan

that sounds like a fine plan B. if you make it all the way to nepal, you might as well keep goin -- central asia is lovely in september, and will keep your mind off where else you might have been. problem for me is, i spent the last two years doing the vagabond-in-asia thing.

sooo im looking into a management consulting gig in moscow, though i dont much care for the city. plan B is just the small handful of job leads ive gotten (and only since i stopped job hunting, of course).

ohmygosh

soooo, you're gonna get a job huh, mrbren? moscow? hmm. ugh.

0/6 so far doesn't mean anything except a bunch of nerves. it isn't over until you've heard. i've already got my fingers crossed waiting for my schools to respond (c'monnnn BERKELEY!). but i'll start crossing my toes for you and everyone else waiting for their fat packages to arrive.

asbuckeye07

cooooomoooon Yale and gsd waitlists...I'm feeling them. I cant go 0 for 4. Also, anyone else notice that last year the gsd didnt necessarily call/email before sending acceptance packages? Slight glimmer of hope still for people like me stupid enough to apply to only ivies. Eh, if not, there's always the '09 commiserate thread.

Anyone get into berkeley? Im thinking of applying there next year.

Does anyone know if the Universities do Phone calls for International students also?

About their minimum score at the GRE and about people who got in with this score and didnt got in with that score...

Tnx

UPenn sends out today, so I should hear tomorrow, assuming it only takes one day to get across town.

My very own Super Tuesday. Let's hope I end up the Obama and not the Hillary. Otherwise, I guess I'm stuck being a historic preservationist.

um so my online status for columbia doesn't show "admission decision" can I assume a rejection letter will be finding its way to me?

Mar 17, 08 8:58 am  ·
