You'll get in, cuz why not? The real question is what are you going to do with that PhD. Community college teaching? High school teaching? It will be very hard to get a university-level teaching position with your degree. But I'm sure you've already thought about that.

I think this means that you'll get in everywhere. But what do I know, all I have is a PhDD in dream interpretation clairvoyance.

Being cynical for its own sake is not cool -- yet it seems to be the default position for lots of people doling out advice to would-be grad students. The kind of advice they often give is worse than useless and irrelevant, it's depressing and detrimental. The real questions you have to ask yourself before going to grad school have nothing to do with being a massively wealthy heir to a fairy kingdom. Please. Plenty of real people succeed in grad school. Get your head out of your own ass, Baudrillardist, it's not a hat.

I bet you'll get in everywhere. Your stats are nearly perfect.

Admit: UCI, UCR, UCD, Waitlist: Stanford, Rejection: UCB, USC

yes!

You will get into Wisconsin, Brandeis and Buffalo, get waitlisted at Vanderbilt, get rejected from Harvard, Rutgers, Berkeley, Brown, and Cornell. UPenn will never get back to you.

Sure thing, let's go into business.

I guess you could go into... Media studies?

We all know you're a girl, stop denying the obvious

Oh god, celebrity memoirs? Seriously? That isn't literature!

Look at this heartwarming sentimental scene. I think there's love here tonight on grad cafe. And I think I brought it here. Which makes me Eros, the god of love.

Suicide studies? Go on

Je ne regrette rien

I know, because the clairvoyance.

I want my work to be it's own theory.

So you guys are going to do free online classes while you're doing real classes in school? That shit cray

I think you'll get into 6, including 2 ivies, and 1 waitlist at an ivy.

I mean like fiction. I guess DFW counts. I can't really bear to read him though.

Am I the only person who really prefers primary texts to theory?

aww he's cute

two espressos: guy

choosing a picture of dorothy parker as your avatar and calling yourself a "girl who wears glasses" kind of makes it seem like you want to be identified as a girl...

Ok so you're a girl who is a lesbian. Amiright amiright?

HEY YOU GUYS: how normal is it for your prof to sign off his email to you by saying "lots of kisses"?
