BAD NEWS!!!!!!

What fresh hell?!?!? Charles Lockwood of University College London is going to call me "for a discussion". I would so much rather be rejected flat-out than have a phone interview and then be rejected. I am not at my best on the phone. Or in person, for that matter. If I had any idea how much of a strain on my nerves applying for graduate school

oh geez, im so sorry it didn't go well. When will you find out? How many of those internships did you apply for? This guys hasn't called me yet. He's supposedly going to e-mail before he calls.

The bad thing is that this guy is one of those professors who don't put much about their research on the department website. It only has a list of his publications and a list of general interests, so I have to get what I can out of those.

The only reason I applied there was because the application didn't cost anything. I can't afford to go there. Especially with the dollar as shitty as it is and our currency being 1:1 with Canada's for heaven's sake. International tuition is is like 14,000 pounds a year and its too late to apply for scholarships.

Pretty much all of the programs I applied to offer some sort of financial package. The reason I didn't apply to U of Michigan is because they're so arrogant they dont offer any money to anybody. The best schools I think are Tulane and Wash U because they offer full tuition and a stipend. Tulane's stipend is 17,000. UCL's issue is that since I'm not a citizen of either the UK or the EU, so I don't quality for any of the university's financial packages. The department does offer packages to students, but I haven't been able to find very much out about them and I think you have to compete for them. Oh, and for UCL, I'm applying for their "MSc" program, but for Tulane and WashU they are PhD. It's pretty much a mix for all of the other schools
