Very happy! Had my fair share of rejections, but I did better than I thought I would. I'm glad this tawdry affair is over! Here's to the revisits!

Also, pennquaker, we're gonna be classmates, after your masters!! I'll use the year to dig up all the dirt on professors.

 

[JustAdocInBox]

Congratulations Jweezy and Pennquaker! These are both awesome programs.

 

[skillmatic]

Congratulations to all.

 

[goldsonic99]

Congrats guys! It's exciting to see everyone finally making their choices.

 

[pennquaker08]

Yay marctam!!! It figures that after running into each other so much we should be together for the long haul 🙂.

 

[pennquaker08]

And did I mention that I am absolutely ecstatic to attend as fantastic a program as Columbia? I still can't believe they accepted me!!!

A final and MAJOR mazel tov to EVERYBODY for getting into and deciding upon fabulous programs. I know that we will all do amazing work!

[Inuranic]

Nice choice, viola. 😉

 

[Picklesali]

Congrats on the decision viola

(one question - is that viola like the string instrument, or Viola like the flower and Shakespeare's heroine in Twelfth night?? They both rock.)

Excellent question! Viola like the string instrument.That's partially why this is a personal favorite. But, you're right. Shakespeare's really cool too.

Congrats pickles! So are you going to compete for the Tri-Wizard Cup?

 

[BoSoxMack]

well i'm jealous

did you get into the combined NEWT/healer program?

PS - the clinical experience at St. Mungo's is unparalleled

 

[Picklesali]

PS - the clinical experience at St. Mungo's is unparalleled

Unfortunately, I did not qualify for the NEWT/healer combined program because I could not procure a time-turner allowing me to complete both degrees simultaneously. However, I think that if I show enough interest once I get there (and maybe if I cast a couple charms) I can apply for one internally.

And honestly, Seraph, the triwizard tournament occurs at Hogwarts SoWaW not at Hogwarts SoM... Although, I hear you can do a rotation with Mme. Pomfrey if you're interested in underage magical maladies.

EpiGirl, you are going to love it at UW. I miss Madison. (Don't get me wrong I am extremely happy where I am...but I do hope to return to UW someday!)

 

[jlamacc1]

Dropping like lethal drosophila knockouts now. Congratulations, Epigirl!

 

[EpiGirl]

Thanks, everyone. I'm really lucky. I'm also profoundly relieved that this whole megillah is over.

And now, dancing fruit:

Bucky is not cheesy! Bucky is awesome...I'd argue one of the best mascots! You should search around though...there's a Bucky in a lab coat somewhere out there.

Congrats on your decision!

 

[Kraz]

Thanks gang! Hopefully things work out for everyone who's still waiting/deciding.

Incidentally, I note that, after falling behind 2-0, Wisconsin has recently roared into a tie for first place in claiming SDN MD/PhDers in this cycle. w00t.

 

[ClarinetGeek]

Bucky is a da BOMB! Congrats Kraz! PM me know if you have any questions about UW or Madison. I don't know details regarding the MSTP or SOMPH, but otherwise, I am fairly well versed! 😉
