hopefulJ2010 reacted to woolfie in Hope for Penn State English
Email saying most decisions will not be final until early April. Maybe you already knew this but I didn't! I was getting worried seeing some acceptances on here. So there's still hope, guys.

hopefulJ2010 reacted to DeWinter in Professors who pull you down
I'm wondering if anyone else has come across that professor (who barely knows you) who tries to tell the students in the department to not apply to top 75 programs and tries to de-motivate them, rather than motivating them. I mean, I know average GRE scores don't automatically disqualify you from getting in but I feel that despite some weaknesses of the student, professors should motivate students and tell them that it's worth a shot applying to schools.
What's wrong with applying in the top 30's or 40's or 50's? I was told that these were "top tier" and that I should look at lower level schools. All based on my GRE scores!I'm coming across more and more professors who seem to pull you down, instead of making you feel hopeful. I hated the GRE with a passion and I'm just not good with these kinds of tests. It doesn't mean I'm stupid in any way! Not every professor is like this but I feel that students shouldn't be told that they can't get in anywhere because they have an average GRE score especially after they've applied. It's so demotivating! Anyone else have thoughts, inputs?
