The adviser definitely.....a good, reputed school is just the icing on the cake...But right from the start to getting a job, its ur adviser who carries u (hopefully)

Go for it!! Even if you dont get expected results, am sure you can find a way to present them for the benefit of the community ......Its one of the many arts you learn in grad school!!

NO!!!! They have no idea what I go thru everyday!!!!!

Hi! A good GRE score is no doubt important, but it is ONE of the many criteria that go into selecting a grad student, SOP and LORs being very important too. If you think you have great LORs and have few publications during your Masters, I would advise you to go ahead. But if the answer is no, then it would be wise to propbably retake the GRE, especially if your Quant score is low. Hope this helps!!

Congrats!! Go and have a beer or two on me

You are right.....endnote is great!! But my problem is that I had an extensive endnote library already before this new version which has this "paper adding " feature came out.....and linking all those pdfs now is really a pain....

I recommend just putting all the pdfs in one folder with a common nomenclature format...its simple and it actually works!!

I am so glad all you guys think you are frauds!!!!!! I am not alone!! And I might even be normal!!!!! But on a little more serious note....my advisor and ppl all around me have a really high opinion about me....which makes me always kinda scared that one day they will realise, hey, he is not that smart....know what i mean?? I guess one time or the other we all think we are frauds and dont really belong here. And of course the more you learn, the more you realise how little you know....or of course, maybe my advisor is right and I am smart....naah, who am i kidding!!!

Hi CompSci......I got my first three papers rejected (btw, is that a record??)...some for reasons not entirely academic, but that's a story best left for another day....i have been going through what you do everyday for sometime now....and being an international student makes it just harder....taking breaks is not an option...and dont ask me way, but I know I am not gonna visit a GP......i know exactly what you are going through and sympathise with you....cant give you any solutions but just wanted you to know you are not alone....cheer up....it cant get worse tha this!!!!....or can it?
