So I went back home and found a big package from Cornell’s Graduate School today. I (almost) did not have to open it to realize that it was an acceptance letter and a welcome packet. It reminds me of those undergrad decision letters. You almost know whether you get accepted or not by looking at the size of the envelope. It seems to be a little different with grad school, however, as I have been receiving 3 different looks of acceptance notice from 3 universities (unofficial e-mail, regular envelope, and big envelope). As usual, I was not offerred any funding for the program. I guess it is more difficult to get funding as a master applicant (or maybe it’s just me?!). This decision has increased my application success rate from 66.666…6% to 75%. I’m eager to see whether the next one would bring it up or down!

I’ll continue saving up to get myself through grad school… mmm… ramen noodles….
