St. Andrews acceptance letter!

Last night I got my acceptance letter for post-graduate study from St Andrews. 

I've known unofficially that I was getting in for a while now, so it's not a big surprise, but it is nice to have the actual piece of paper confirming it.

I'm going to be working on a M.Litt then a Ph.D. in History. I'm going to be doing Early Modern Central Europe - Habsburgs, Prague, Rudolf II around 1600. Especially the development of science with scholars like Kepler and Tycho Brahe in Rudolf's court.

What is really great is that as part of my wife negotiations for her faculty job with the St A's biology department she got them to agree that I can pay home fees rather than international fees. That make a BIG difference, as I'm sure the rest of the American students know well. Be jealous!  And thank you Anne; it's nice to me married to someone so brilliant and who is in demand by universities.

See you all over there in the fall.

David...congrats on your acceptance!    This must be a very exciting time for you and your wife. 

Best wishes!

Congrats! A great opportunity for you. 

Say hi to Prince William for me!  (he goes there, right?)

Say hi to Prince William for me!  (he goes there, right?)

Yes, he goes there. But he is graduating this year so he should be out by the time I get there next fall.

Damn!  Missed my chance.

Yeah, I have a neice who will be VERY unhappy to hear that I've lost my Six Degrees of Separation to the young prince. LOL.

But keeping on topic, congrats David - very impressive!!

Congratulations, David.  Good luck!

Congratulations  Sounds like you will enjoy it immensely and that is what matters.

and I AM one of those jealous Americans since I'll be paying overseas rates this next year 

Congrats, David!  Was just there on Monday.  You'll really like it.
