Regular Member Maceo Posted February 20, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2007 I thought I'd let you guys know about the status of my grad school applications. Thus far, I've been accepted to Florida State University, and wait listed at Georgetown! Georgetown received over 100 applications for 10 spots! So I think to be wait listed is pretty darn good! And hey it's not a flat out no! I am still waiting on Chapel Hill and Boston University, which is where I really want to go, so everyone keep your fingers and fins crossed!!! and on a side note I am watching the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and he was talking about his chocolate river having 10,000 gph turnover and my first thought was man, that's a great filter, I wish I had one!!

Regular Member svendenhowser Posted February 21, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thats great! I hope you get where you want to go Just a quick question, but what exactly is grad school? Is it the same as our postgrad education? Like honours/masters/Phd/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Maceo Posted March 6, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2007 Well, I didn't get into Boston, we'll see about Chapel Hill... I'm not too upset about Boston, I really wanted to go there but it wasn't meant to be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Chrissy_Bee Posted March 7, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2007 it wasn't meant to be... Great attitude, I tend to think the same way. Last year I didn't get into a school and I was so dissappointed, but now I have two opportunities which I never would have had if I'd got in. Maybe you didn't get in for a reason. I hope you hear from the others soon, keep us updated! Chrissy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member LaurieP Posted March 7, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2007 I agree with Chrissy, maybe there is something better for you and you aren't aware of it yet. A positive attitude is great to have, good luck with the other school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
