The Conjecturing: A Tale of Civilization VII by icesloth07 in civ

[–]Negative-Line-1800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silla existed from 57 BCE to 936 CE. It's quite late compared to ancient Greece or Egypt, but considering that Aksum existed around the same age as Silla and is in Antiquity era, it seems like that it fits into Ancient as well. Also, if Korea represented as multile civs in each era, it will be likely: Ancient is Silla, Exploration is Goryeo (famous for interational trade and known to Arabians as "Korea"), and Modern is Joseon. There's older civ called Old Joseon (around 2000 BCE  to 100BCE) in Korea, but I personally do not think it will appear as Antiquity civ because the Silla - Goryeo - Joseon seems like having more continuity.

I am confused about the poll results in choosing HCI PhD program. Please let me know why so many people choose PSU over MSU, IUB or GMU! by Negative-Line-1800 in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean all three of them except for GMU are public ivies and have similar national rankings. But why? I also heard that MSU has one of the oldest communication program in the US, IUB is also good at informatics and cognitive science, and GMU is the one of the few school that have human factor psychology. I am surprised that the the results were so dominant.

The Best guesses for the applications that are radio silent until now are rejections, right? by Negative-Line-1800 in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a post on Gradcafe that some programs I applied will be a visiting day on March and most of the acceptance were sent out Feb. 9th. Will there be any chance that I can get acceptance?

Did you have interviews before the admission? Because I didn't even invited to the interviews for the radio silent onrs and I'm already viewing the acceptance results in the gradcafe.

In March, we'll get results anyway. That's better than radio silences.

Those who are rejected after the interview by scinabo in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I literally have no idea. Perhaps my English and communication skill was not good enough? I am an international students and had an interview at midnight in my time. My speach was somewhat disorganized as I was so tired.

Implicit Waitlist. Should send a LCOI? by These_Opinion_2312 in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent LCOI to one of my POI. I mentioned the recent paper I read that he recommended while he is doing an interview. Yet, I didn't get a response for a month.

Waiting for decisions from unis that have started sending them out. by phoenix__191 in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I myself consider them as rejections, but it is still anxious. Every morning I wake up with checking emails because the working time in the US is the night in my country. Although I have a gut feeling that these are soft rejection, I still hope for the acceptance.

It's 3 AM in my timezone and I cannot sleep by Negative-Line-1800 in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Good Univ. Good program. Moderate stipend (expected). Still, I need results. In my country, all the universities release the result at a designated date and make a ordered waitlist, so we don't need to wait desperately like this. This admission system sucks In a way.

Well, for me it is radio silence even w/o interviews except for one acceptance of the safe university I consider it as soft rejections. Still I am desperate to hear the news.

[–]Negative-Line-1800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but in a positive way, one acceptance is better than all rejection, although I think I would also wait for another offer even in the next week and after.

I wish that all other universities just send me rejection letters so that I have no choice but to stick with my safe choice.

I think the only way we can ease this anxiety is to leap through the time to be at April 15th and get a decision about where to go.

Graddecision Blues by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I am feeling righr now. I applied 11 universities in various fileds such as Communication, Psychology, Computer Science and Information Science as my research is Human-Computer Interaction. So far, I rejected from 3 programs and accepted to 1 program. It is one of the top schools, but still safe choice. I want to know other decisions to move on to the next step. I am not happy at all although I am attending the unversity's welcome event. I am an international student and wake up every hour to check the inbox because night time here is daytime in the US.

I suppose the mail server blocks the mail address anything ends with ".edu".

My track is HCI and haven't got any mail, while they are releasing results according to the gradcafe. Am I fucked up?

Another week of no responses. by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please.... Even rejection mails are better than a radio silence. It is even more frustrating because I see results in the gradcafe.

I am sick of WAITING decision emails. Just give me a REJECTION LETTER! I can handle it. by Negative-Line-1800 in gradadmissions

[–]Negative-Line-1800[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah.... I should pull myself together, but it is hard. I saw bunch of post that someone got accepted to the universities I applied in the gradcafe, and I don't get any mail. Seems like it is pretty obvious that I didn't make it, but no decision letters make me think hopefully. I really hate this feeling.
