Baby hippos

Thankyou for calling and passing on the info. I guess this means next week ought to be when they let us know.

From what I can see there is no direct correlation between singledom and academia/non-academia. All my (28 and above) friends in the "real world" who are single can attest to that and the grad-cafe community seems to agree. Your post seems to suggest you're unhappy about being single (or at least the idea of still being in a few years time), so I would suggest you prioritise your happiness and put aside some of your time during grad school for dating. People get through grad school with families and children to look after, so if you want to I am sure you can make some space for someone extra in your life.

Thanks - congrats on getting in, it looks like a great course.

I applied and haven't heard anything - I didn't apply to POME though, do either of you know if all PhD offers went out or just the POME ones?

Yeah I am hopeful too - March does seems painfully late but I understand it given how many applications they receive.

Congratulations and good luck. A very impressive turnaround time for them too - which can only bode well for you.

It's good to have some company whilst waiting. They say their decisions go out in early March and the few results on the results page seem to corroborate this. Fingers crossed for us all.

One year a long time ago, there were penguins who didn't wear hats when swimming. This made their mothers livid. "Unacceptable!" Frightened, they screamed, "Bears!" Nobody seemed convinced so instead of going swimming they tried juggling. Their mothers tried everything they thought would teach her a skill. However, she couldn't even make oatmeal without disastrous results. So, the penguins gathered money (obviously) trying to purchase a bear. Towering over them, a grizzly beast danced, devouring all bears with such ferocity that even God enjoyed it. Afterwards, God congratulated the penguins and applauded them. "You did it!" Suddenly, the grizzly beast started dancing vigorously. There was an acromantula nearby. It challenged the preconception that magical mushrooms were magical. Sparkling, the magical mushrooms were spreading throughout town. Nobody with pyromania thought grilled cheese would spontaneously erupt into nine identical squirrels! Nevertheless, the penguins elucidated the benefits of sparkling water from Iceland. Suddenly, Iceland exclaimed, "Enough!!! No more penguins. Kill all of the arcades on Monday because King Arthur suffered from sphenisciphobia." Tragically, everyone forgot lasers cure bug madness, meaning none of them stripped the violet beast of his powerful jaw bones. So while some arms spouted Kool-aid, others chopped nuts. This phenomenon halted commerce. Together twenty-five yellow dragons danced sporadically inebriating all anger gods, while academics drank champagne profusely. Who were they? Snotty undergrads eating free Tetrahydrocannabinol Chlorate. Homicidal kittens emerged from congressional hearings purring rhythmic improvised melodies, infuriating the associate professors who stripped them intermittently of all credentials. The incredulous kittens meowed like dragons farts. Except Bruno, who mewed like tinkling bells. Understandably, one chicken farted. Then, surreptitiously, two giraffes killed the conspicuous dragon. Audaciously, someone belched "RAWR!" Startled, four punks flew down from the Appalachian, a bit wide-eyed, and jumped into a brobdingnagian beam of protons, flipping fingers

Honestly I think in time you will get over it. At undergrad I had the same confusion of being rejected from some places that really stung - not least because on top of your attachment to the school itself and the prospective course/advisors, you also start to imagine living in that city, attending the university etc. So a rejection crushes a whole imaginary world you created in your head and thus it seems like you lost something even though you never really had it. Just try to focus on all the exiting things you can do to prepare for you PhD and avoid comparing wherever possible. It's ok to admit that rejection hurts, but ultimately your friends are right that you have to try to stop yourself from focussing on that and instead focus on the joy of being accepted anywhere at all (especially a top ranked school).

Hi All, I haven't seen anything on the discussion threads about Steinhardt and there seem to be very few posts online from previous years too. Did anyone else on gradcafe apply for a PhD in education there this year?

Oh no, I'm glad they get it all over with early compared to other schools like UPenn who leave us all hanging on even though we know we've been rejected because we weren't interviewed.

Likewise. Congrats to those who were accepted.

I graduated 7 years ago and from looking at the school websites I figured I would be around the average age. It sounds like you will be too.

Yeah what

well it looks like the results are coming in any day now, based on the one SHIPS post on the results page. I'm trying not to feel glum about not getting a call, since someone obviously did, as I know there's still hope given that getting a call is POI dependent. Good luck to all of you who are waiting.

It seems to have disappeared but the posts above it from people asking what discipline are still there. I'm not sure why it's been deleted.

When to tell schools she tricky, but I would generally say as early as possible to give them the chance to search for a good replacement. With the students I tend to tell them later on but apply the rule of never lying, so if they directly ask me if I'm leaving I say yes and why. for my current job they ask us in November if we're renewing our contracts and sign them in January, so just by applying for a PhD I knew I couldn't stay on and had made the decision to leave. This has helped make the process easier and means I can talk to my colleagues openly about the process.

I thought I would have heard too. But I know I have been rejected from 1 (no interview invite) and today I saw on the results that Berkeley accepted someone, so I am guessing they are out now too.
