So i emailed the Penn director and he said my application was on hold, i'm in some middle ground between accepted and waitlisted. I haven't gotten an official waitlist email and he said to sit tight until I hear from him again. Should I be at all optimistic about this?
I am also neuro-psych, but there are plenty of women who take care of themselves. Sounds like a tired argument to me. You take care of yourself and thats never going to play out poorly for you so why worry about it. Either way, I would take qualified and intelligent over "dressed up all pretty"
