Shep, are you me!? I rarely come to this forum, but decided to check it out on a slow Friday at work and your recent posts echo my exact sentiment.
I have always wondered why people applied to multiple LIS programs. I would be surprised if MLIS program acceptance rates were below 90%. MLIS programs are cash-cows for universities; low investment needed and easy ROI.
I do not think I have ever read about anyone NOT getting accepted into an MLIS program, and I feel like I won't because those that have will be too embarrassed to post it online.
