    You're trying to express an opinion about a lack of diversity in the field. As someone who I assume is licensed and practicing, why don't you just tell us your feelings about it without insulting a whole group of prospective/incoming students? I'm sure you have a broader perspective if you've been in the field for so long. What kind of a response did you want from calling us a bunch of "lilywhite bishes"?

    I'm sorry I'm so white! I'm going to call up my school right now and tell them that I'm deferring because I need some time to examine my privilege.

    I wish.

    Seriously, though. This is a weird forum for it, but you have our attention. Are you going to do anything with it, or are you going to keep making off-base assumptions?

    Contact Marjorie Nicholas. She has a list of students who have volunteered to talk to prospectives.

    I'd ask if you can send in an updated CV that reflects your newly accepted article.

    Waiting sucks, end of story. I won't stroke your ego about your scores though.

    Oh, no!

    Did CSDCAS just screw up and send them an incomplete package? Yikes!

    What a horrible, horrible system.

    Don't read too much into short, clipped emails from professors. As someone who has been in academia for a good long while, this is normal. They get a bazillion emails and they just want to get through them, and they don't worry about being wordy to make you feel better. You're lucky if they sign the email with more than a lowercase initial. The professor that I work for rarely sends out emails that are complete sentences. The average character length is probably about 20.

    On Friday (1/29) I was on the phone with CSDCAS and they told me they were working on applications submitted in the first week of January.
