[Where did you end up?-Fall 2017]

Boston University! PhD. I got my MA at Tufts so I'll just be hoppin' across the river. So excited, a dream come true.

Has anyone else been watching our nation devolve into a fascist state for the last few hours with the crippling dread that maybe a PhD isn't the best move right now...(amongst other crippling-dreads)?

Yes. I'm at a loss for words.

Not that I intend to drag this conversation into memery, but you all have reminded me of this:

 

 

Also, hi! This is my first post under this account. I was here about three years ago as I was applying for my MA, under the name "ChurchLover" (I'm a big fan of Frederic Church, as I am of William Henry Jackson). Long story short, I can't access that account anymore so I made this one. I'm just as anxious as all of you. I, too, look to be hearing from a school or two sometime this week, and every time I visit this forum it feels like I'm adding fuel to the anxiety-fire. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for myself and everyone else! This is a fickle, nerve-wracking process but at least we're in it together. 

 

For anyone curious, I earned my MA at Tufts last spring and I'm more than willing to answer any questions about my experience via personal message. I don't know if I'll be much help but I'll put it out there anyway haha. 

 

Good luck everyone, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
