amulyI got in to Carnegie Mellon's graduate program, for either an M.A. in Philosophy or an M.S. in Logic, Computation, and Methodology.
I AM SO HAPPY.
You guys, you have no idea. I've been crying on and off with my parents for the past 2-3 hours.
I applied last year to 10 different PhD programs, got into none of them, and was basically ready to throw myself off a cliff. Then I restarted the application process this year, and already got rejected from UNC, and waitlisted for Brown.
But tonight I got an e-mail from Carnegie Mellon - my number two choice out of ten schools - informing me that I had my pick of the programs I wanted to join, 50% funding, a TA stipend if I was interested, and I should get on up there March 28th for a meet-and-greet.
I'm just... I'm so beside myself with happiness right now, you guys. I keep bursting into tears because I'm just so damn happy.
I'm sorry. I just need to shout my happiness from the rooftops, and LJ is my rooftop, so... :P
