@bioinformatics:
Well, I think I will keep hanging around till some program gobbles me up completely.
@gforce:
Thanks for the extra force! Hehe.

Maintain a positive outlook. Always. As someone once said, you are not out of the game *till* you are out of the game or well... something like that. You never know when and how a place might suddenly spring up for you. Sometimes the best things in life happen unexpected. I never expected an admit from one of the universites in my list and was pleasantly surprised when I got in. Back in January, a professor from the program actually wrote back telling me that I might want to look at other programs as they were taking in very few students this time. I gave up even expecting anything and one fine day the admit dropped into my inbox! So keep praying for the best. Good Luck!

Thanks for the very flattering remark, though I am afraid I am definitely not "the real man behind the scenes" in any sense.

I do occasionally pull at the curtain strings but it doesn't count for much. :o Thanks again for the encouragement.

Keep me posted on what's going on at your end.
