  1. Umm...we're not talking girlfriend/boyfriend here...we're talking SPOUSE as in "wife/husband"...My husband and I deliberated over this situation recently and came to the conclusion that whatever decision we made, it would be the best for our marriage and help our careers. In any case, this can only be decided by the two of you and I trust that in the end, you'll both agree to what's right for you as a partnership. Best wishes!
  2. Dear Friends...I heard from school...I got in with funding. I'm in shock. Best wishes to all...
  3. Thanks for both of your responses. I completely agree with the advice you've given. I've often wondered if perhaps my LOR's weren't the best they could be(although I was a graduate research assistant to two of the professors and have extremely good relationships with both of them so this is pretty slim). In terms of my professional experience, it was directly in the field to which I have applied. I held senior executive positions that included research and data and I worked directly with major universities in the San Francisco Bay Area on many of these projects. Basically my SOP spoke to this but I did recently complete my masters (as a way to demonstrate that I could successfully complete graduate level work after 10 years out of undergrad). I've often wondered if programs get a little leery by 'older' students...and by leery I mean, confused by, not sure of, etc. etc...thoughts?
  4. Okay...so after rushing to send my final transcript to my last PhD program (I've been rejected by 6 programs...not sure why...10 years working experience, 4.0 gpa, MPH, solid GRE, etc., etc.), I've developed a nice relationship with the the program coordinator who keeps informing me that the committee hasn't made a decision yet...WHY NOT?!!? It's weird because after receiving a nice flow of steady rejections, I pretty much was coming to terms with the fact that a PhD was not in my near future. However, the past two weeks have been pretty hard and I'm trying to move on...but it's difficult... any advice? p.s. they've already sent out their rejections and acceptances in late February...
  5. Okay...I called UCLA's PhD program in health services two days ago and was informed my application was still in review. I called this morning and was asked to submit my final transcript ASAP. What does this mean? And why do I personally know the names of the transcript/registrar staff where I received my masters? I can't take much more! Lots of Love! :oops:
