Graduate School News
I got my first letter from a grad school last weekend. It was neither an acceptance nor a rejection. I was recommended for acceptance at the University of Maryland, College Park pending my finding an adviser willing to sponsor me. I sent e-mails to seven people at UMD last weekend. Today I called the three people who responded to my request positively. One was out of the office but the other two were expecting me to call and I got a good feel from both of them. The main facility is actually about 2hrs outside of College Park so solving the two body problem with Beth and I might be tough. I got the impression from my conversations that I have a good chance of getting in at the other schools I applied to which was comforting.
