i applied to PhD programs because i want to eventually be a prof and the programs i like accept apps for phd not ma.

Just wondering if the person who posted acceptance to IU soc a couple of weeks ago is out there anywhere? i'm still anxiously waiting to hear from the program. :?

Good luck saturday! i hope you found something weather-appropriate, but either way i'm sure you'll be great. confidence is key.

yin-bodhi, i wonder, were you ever able to check your status online? i was checking where i think i was supposed to be, and there were 3 headings: new application, submitted application, and processed application. i was checking under processed application. then a couple of weeks ago the processed application heading disappeared...don't know if that's just a technical glitch or bad news or what. i think i prefer IU to ND, but that's just because of the rankings, and because it is closer to family. do you think the rankings will really make a difference when i finally go out job-searching in 5-6 years? money for research sounds nice from ND. thanks!

I don't know, I think it's a good idea to call and check, but i'm too scared. :!:

We have a guy like that at our school! The rumor is that he used to be a professor and he locked another prof in a room and got fired and now is angry. he usually shouts a lot about "coeds" getting raped. which we have had a few rapes over the past few years, but unfortunately that is pretty common everywhere. there are a lot of lawsuits between this guy and our school, and he has to stand on the median in the road, because he isn't allowed on the property. he pushes a shopping cart around and wears a graduation gown. haha. i don't know of any with march deadlines, but some Masters programs. i've been looking into that. but i also really need funding. ick. if you know of any with march deadlines around here (KY, IN, OH, IL), i would love to know. i didn't plan this out too well because i was planning to do social work and i changed my mind in late sept. I am surprised i didn't get into any of those 4 schools. i try to make excuses so i don't feel just awful (like wisconsin and michigan are just too good, and illinois and ohio weren't good matches). it's not working. maybe i got a bad letter or sent the IU statement to Ohio and the Ohio statement to UW. ack. but i really did triple check that kind of thing.
