^ LOL

that's a very bittersweet domination though, b/c it's going to end soon.

3/19/2011 2:38:16 PM

that's cool but come back when you actually get accepted.

3/19/2011 2:38:43 PM

Guess you are tired of State?

hopefully you can get a descent job, putting off entry to the real world for a little while longer....

3/19/2011 6:17:16 PM

i should've named this "itt simonn explains to kids how careers in research work, and how funding for engineering phds work".

3/19/2011 6:21:35 PM

grad school is the greatest time of your life...

3/19/2011 6:25:08 PM

^^some people really have no idea what goes into that and what the point is.. sadly

3/19/2011 6:25:09 PM

Just curious about your application.

Is this straight out of undergrad? Did you get an M.S. somewhere else? Do you work now?


Also, do you have to pay for tuition in engineering or do you TA and get it waived?

Congrats

3/19/2011 6:26:54 PM

i'm doing an MS at state now. i'll be an RA, so stipend + tuition is paid for by a research project. no TA'ing (probably).

3/19/2011 6:29:29 PM

Nice deal

How long is the Ph.D. program?

3/19/2011 6:30:54 PM

however long it takes. probably 4-5 years.
