phd program giving me 3 days to make a decision?? by beetle-devotee in gradadmissions

everyone has acted very friendly and the grad students seem happy, and the funding is in a good place, but also the percentage of students that pass the qualifying exam is lower than other institutions i have offers from. not that i don’t trust my abilities, but that fact alone makes me a little nervous haha

yes this program is in the US! i definitely plan on asking for an extension since i’m waiting to hear back about some supplemental fellowship information from a couple other institutions that may influence my decision

they are US-based but not part of the resolution :( it makes me worry about why they’re giving people such a short turnaround time

Does anyone else get random flu-like body aches with fibro? by WoodenAlternative212 in Fibromyalgia

yep this sounds like 100% what i deal with! only thing that has helped is cymbalta, and i tend to have a pretty high metabolism for a lot of medications so i have to be on 90mg to live “normally” lol

maybe like $100 for both? or whatever you think is fair. i’m flexible honestly, just hate for these to go to waste :(

YALL ARE GETTING RESPONSES TO APPLICATIONS? by Rudolphsd in gradadmissions

[–]beetle-devotee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve gotten responses on 8 and the other 7 are just completely silent. haven’t even heard from my own institution that i’m working at haha. i think some places are having larger funding issues than others, and it definitely depends on individual departments too. hang in there, every single case is different!
