I thought academia presumed "smart individuals"... Okay, at least "polite individuals"... But this is terrible.
I emailed some of the programs - no response.
I called - they told me to SEND THEM AN EMAIL [some of my puke reaches the bottom of my throat when I hear "send us an email"...] I send THEM an email - no response.
Okay, I get it: I have to wait. Deal. Great. Awesome. Delicious! But! I have paid the ffffqn fee (and I know I sound like a Karen now) - but why can you not just answer with a "very soon" or "on the 5th of March"?
Why does this all have to be such a badly managed process? "A university" means "educated individuals," doesn't it?
Now, what's wrong with all this waiting and ignoring people's emails?
Send us an email, my ass...
