  1. How would you represent being fluent in some aspects of a language but not others on a CV? Let's say Italian is my native language. I can speak and understand it perfectly but haven't any idea how to read or write it. What would be a good way to put this? It may be field dependent too. In History, people generally want the breakdown of individual elements (reading, writing, aural, and speaking) because being able to translate other languages is an advantage in the field. Right now I have "fluent aural and speaking" but would like some more opinions on this.
  2. 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

  6. I'm applying to uOttawa for my PhD in History. I ordered a transcript from my university and had them send it directly to uOttawa. You may want to make sure, though, that your program wants hard copies of the CV and SOP. I simply e-mailed it to them and it was fine, but again your program might have different requirements so your best course of action is to call them as opposed to e-mailing. It took me a while to get in touch with the History Department too, but after calling the main desk and explaining the problem they took me a little more seriously.

  11. Hey everyone, I'm currently doing my MA in History; did my BA in the same. As I'm waiting for my PhD application results, I've been wondering if a decent overall application would nullify an average undergrad GPA. I had an overall GPA of 3.66/4.0 in undergrad. I started my first semester with 2.92 and it went up consistently. My last year was 3.93. So even though it's gone up year-over-year, is that something the grad committee will consider, or will they simply care about the overall 3.66? Everything else about my application is good. Current MA GPA of 3.85, solid statement and recommendations, good writing sample, a conference and a fellowship. What I'm really asking is will they weigh my latter years more than my first couple of years? And how important are undergrad grades in comparison to all of these other items? Guess I'm just a bit worried like most people playing the waiting game. Thanks in advance.
