Dear Realist,

Would you please comment a little on the racket that is graduate school? Especially the application process and the ambiguity that most admissions pages put forth. It seems to me that I am a fine candidate for something but after my 0 for 7 route, I am absolutely clueless as to what I did wrong. The only school that I think I even had on the hook was Northwestern and I was rejected (Probably because me letters were not from faculty that could speak to my polisci chops).

One thing that I have concluded is that even with good scores, LORs, etc. there are so few spots that it is a lottery nonetheless.

Lastly, I don't know about my SOP. I feel that it probably was absolute crap looking back. But I really am clueless as to what they would want me to say.

Sincerely,

I think I have to disconnect myself from this. I have a freaking thesis to complete... AHHHH!

Dear thebends,

Thanks for the kind words. I love that album too. Bulletproof... best song.

Sincerely,
Lenin

I would love to have the data on accepted GRE scores for top ten programs...

Remember this line:

"For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."
Matthew XXV: 29.

It will describe your future life more than you can imagine.
