First, SteveRogers.info is now feeding into Facebook through notes. I am assuming more people are reading through Facebook but just wanted to point out that there is a blog out there….rarely updated at that.
Well…this week has been big on the Grad School front. The GRE is done, which has allowed me to better draw up a list of schools. Honestly, I really didn’t make my list. I went from professor to professor asking for their recommendations. The list grew to as large as 17, but it got narrowed to about 11. It seems odd that I didn’t really draw up my list, but I don’t know a better way to make one. I could poke around web sites and rankings, but my professors were able to say: Yes, X is a good school, but they won’t give you the time of day. Or Y is a great school, but they never tenure anyone so their faculty is becoming weaker.
I don’t really want to post the list online (I am a little paranoid ever since I got a slap on the wrist from work about posting something), but if you want to know, just ask. Probably the most interesting thing is that there is a school on the list that I would have killed to go to when I was 16. However then it was for engineering and computer science, and now I want to go there partially because of my favorite Amendment.
