Notes
For one time, I really thought I could get in because I sent to one of the professors an email that I was really satisfied with. But I never got a reply and then came the rejection letter... Sure, who am I to get admission simply for writing to a professor? It's OK. Ben Bernanke once said:' If your uniform isn't dirty, you haven't been in the game.' Now I guess I'm really in the game. I should be proud of myself and say good luck to all my fellow players :-)
