I recently found out that I was admitted to one of the two graduate schools of my choice this cycle, and I wanted to thank Darwin’s Finch, Blake and Colibri for agreeing to look over my candidate statement. Since I “met” these people through the boards, it seems only appropriate that I should thank them via the boards.
Anyway, classes start in August, and I’m chomping at the bit to get going. I could start my lab training now, if I can figure out how to make it all work. I gotta eat too. I’ll probably start a thread on that as well, but first things first.
Congratulations! I know how you feel because I’ve just gotten my first two grad school admission notices too! (I’m still waiting on the other three schools I applied to before I make a decision.) Wheeee! I can’t say that the Dope contibuted directly to my grad school application, but I got a lot of advice from the Dopers in various ways, like when I posted incredibly basic GRE math questions in GQ, or when I asked for advice on writing my personal statement in IMHO.
The Dopers: consult them before making any major life decisions.
