Well, it looks like applications are due on the 15th! Yikes. Suddenly I'm scrambling to make sure I get in everything I need by the deadline. Are the degrees from UI respected internationally? I'm having trouble finding information one way or ... Read More

Thanks for all your help already, by the way. I'm getting a clearer picture by the day of whether or not this may be possible/advisable. Read More

Just so I'm clear... Icelandic is a made-up language, right? It's like the secret national joke. They actually communicate through eye contact or hand gestures, and the language is a big prank they play on foreigners. Yeah? I cracked that ... Read More
