I GOT IN!!!

I GOT IN!!!! I just got an e-mail tonight from Jackie Hadley, who is the graduate school secretary for the University of Utah Physics program. The e-mail basically said here is the letter that we are going to be sending you. The letter went on to say, they are admitting me and I get the tuition waiver, and they are going to pay me a stipend as a level 2, which is the highest there is as a TA, and so that will be equivalent to $14,131 for the nine months of school. There is also a possibility of summer money too, but that is limited. This has really been a long time coming for us, and I can't quite get over how excited I am. Every time I think about it the same words keep coming to mind, "I still can't believe..." There are so many amazing benefits that come from this program. The U has an amazing Physics department, I will get paid to go to school and will only need to take out a minimum of student loans, I should be done in 5 years, I will get subsidized insurance, and the list goes on and on. I am so excited to start doing some research with some of the professors there. So when I get the official letter (that I'm pretty sure I will frame), I will take a picture and post it here.
