Agree!!!

Worries: that I won’t get in anywhere. Or that I will and I’ll do it fine, but it would be for an awful person, as I’ve been around some truly nasty or unhelpful people in my life thus far. I have meh GRE, and while each of my degrees had increasing GPA’s (all above 3.6, the last two above a 3.8) I did have to put notes on each of them because of medical withdrawals and administrative issues. I have some pubs already and two I’m working on right now. Just focusing on the two I’ve heard good things from. And putting my energy towards that. And trying to not worry about the ones that I haven’t heard from. My own father doesn’t believe in me and is mad I’m not applying to his own school. But I’ve already gone there, and there is nothing for me there. Excitement: getting a cut above what I would have had I remained at my previous institution. Moving!!! And the chance for something much better than what I left behind.

Or they historically send their decisions late anyhow, as is the case for some of them. But I suppose I should focus on the things I do have instead of what I don’t. And I do have interview and am getting to know the others.

So some schools told me no right off, and those were schools I didn’t want to go to anyway. There are two in the running: one does provisional acceptance till you get a lab to take you, and the other is interviewing me and I’m just focused on putting my best foot forward. The rest, barring the deadlines that are in this month...I haven’t heard a peep. Do I assume rejection? I mean, UNC Chapel Hill at Gillings I know is hard to get in. But yeah..

I received word that I will be interviewed by the PhD program in behavioral science and health education on Monday at SLU. *eeeee** Okay. What should I be prepared to answer? This is a phone interview, so I’m wondering what else I can do to prepare.

I’m told the bus systems there are awesome. But is it drive-able? Also just, how is living in the area?
