And if you have not been accepted, understand that this is a VERY weird time for grad admissions. Lack of acceptance may not be due to YOU, but due to uncontrollable factors at the university. Keep trying in the future.

Circa 2005 we happened upon a NYC park with a table full of phones with staffers saying "pick up a phone and talk someone in Tehran." We had a delightful convo with a teen about school, video games and hanging out w friends.

Ok, also it's a bit different bc the legislature was "in session" but I am having a hard time seeing a difference in intent between this situation and when the TX Dems left Austin to delay redistricting convos. In that case, they were criticized for not doing their jobs.

NSF funding allocations to divisions get adjusted based on numbers of proposals; if we opt out of submitting proposals because of threats of cuts, it can cause future years budgets to divert money out of our divisions.
