First letter of acceptance from a PhD program reached me last night. Funded. Formal.
Finally.
I remain optimistic that more emails will come within the next few weeks, carrying with them a formal offer of admission. I hope more than anything for a choice of grad schools. I’ve applied to the schools that I genuinely want to attend, so it won’t be an easy choice that I make in the coming months.
Right now, though? I’m just so relieved and happy that after a painful, drawn-out and esteem-destroying admissions cycle first time around, and the stress of a second attempt…I’ve got something lined up for Fall 2013.
The world looks beautiful today.





Yes! Fantastic news! Where would it be?
Enjoy the feeling!
I’m glad you feel more confident and positive about the future now
This one was on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA, so in a perfect location. Hoping the stress won’t return as I wait for other offers (though I don’t think it will to the same extent).
Great news! At least one yes is good.
One ‘yes’ is all I need.
