Hard Work is Paying Off!

Hello Members,

Last summer I stayed away from TRF for a few months to study / prepare for the GRE and graduate school application. Good news are starting to come in, and I will soon need to make a final decision. YES, I got accepted into grad school(s)! Now I need to be on TRF as much as possible while I can.

Congratulations Roger! I wish you the best of luck in your studies!

Now you're getting me to think. Had I decided to avoid TRF for a couple of months, I'm sure I would own my own building on Wall Street by now!

thanks everyone. i have yet to make a final decision. university of michigan is the front runner for it's got great faculty members, large alumni / professional network, and most important of all, a very attractive financial aid support package with scholarships and training grants to cover tuition and monthly stipend. unless other schools can top this kind of offer, otherwise, i am mostly likely going to be a wolverine this coming fall. go blue!!!
