Scholarship stats?

Ask me in a week. I've got a little more data collection to do. And UNC has yet to show its cards.

Congrats fluff! I hope UW offers the same amount here. Did they send you the offer online or as a package in the mail? How long after being admitted were you notified?

aaudetat, what is a fast-track graduation plan? I did not know Duke offered anything like that... Congrats!!!

Just so we're clear.....I'm being sarcastic. EconGirl, I assume you're dishing it back at me.

I am the LAST person to go through the program more quickly. Unless they're letting you test out of "the use of the subjunctive in french" or "tax law for low-income families," I am going to be on the 2 year plan.

cheers!

No, I actually thought there might be an option like that. Some schools have similar options - like Columbia's accelerated January start - 16 month MBA...

oh, that makes sense. Now worries!

Yes, don't get me started about dogs because I will bore the heck out of you, but since you asked...

My older dog (the black lap/german shepherd mix) had a leg injury as a puppy and needed immediate surgery. I volunteered to pay for it and was able to take care of him because I worked from home. He also had potential behavioral issues - to quote the vet even when he was a small puppy he thought he was a big dog. He couldn't be placed in a house with children with a single (smaller) woman because he would assume the dominant status. But since I had a house with a yard, and I'm about 6' 180, it worked out great. He's a great dog, is super smart (housebroken in 2 days) loves to work with people and is more than happy to follow orders - he just needs to know who's in charge. For example, he gets along great with my mom now, but if a single woman of her size tried to raise him, there probably would have been problems. He also has a hereditary skin condition that crops up when he is stressed. He sometimes needs medication for that.

My younger dog (the golden retriever) has leg issues as well. I put in a request for a puppy with a rescue organization, and waited a year before they found one for me. He was taken from a breeder that had been falsifying medical reports (hip and joint) for his breeding animals. Golden retrievers are prone to hip and elbow problems, and he was breeding dogs with known genetic issues. My dog will almost certainly require surgery some time down the road for hip dysplasia, and potentially elbow as well. For the time being, I need to make sure he doesn't put too much stress on his joints by running and playing too hard or eat too much because extra weight could cause problems. I will plan his surgery so he is still strong enough to have the best chance for a full recovery - but I don't want to do it too soon because 100% recovery is not guaranteed and he's not in pain now.

Here's a wikipedia article if anyone is interested:

You got a big heart man.....

There were times where you come across as a arrogant but extremely talented person( just my opinion ) but these posts have showed a different side of your personality
