5 rejections. Let's see how this goes.

LMGDAO This was plain and simply hilarious. I definitely agree with the medically-induced coma. I think it's totally fair and necessary. I too should have applied to devry. Woe is me.

This is so true on so many levels. To think they could drop me out of the pile for such an arbitrary reason as "she's an American with a foreign name; if we're going to choose a person with a foreign name, it's going to be an international student"!

I was feeling down today from worrying because no schools had contacted me yet while other people have heard from schools since early Feb. So I checked my email praying for an answer, and sure enough, something happened: I got my first rejection. And it actually felt good I want my degree very much and I am so ready to do a great job to get it, but I am starting to feel I will get rejected everywhere. I'd rather get all my rejection letters at once and cry a good cry with a bowl (or gallon) of Edy's cookies and cream ice cream (oh, emotional eating--terrible!) than impatiently wait with anxiety burning a hole in my chest... I'm so emo... :?

...I prefer it over any other degree that's out there.

I don't think anyone wants it badly enough to go without funding (not even the independently wealthy)!!

I usually think the really really smart guys in the Sociology dept are gay (or married), which is why I never get that crazy. If they would just show a hint of masculinity (or nonmarriedness), whoo! I think I would have had at least 5 crushes on TAs in one year. That mid-teen kind too. Crushes are fun...but they hurt too. But there was this one Swedish professor who was super old (like 60 and I'm like 21), and I used to call him my husband to friends. Maybe if I get back into my alma mater I can start making moves. LOL!

I think that would be spectacular!

LMAO That IS kinda worse. Oh, for the love of PhD. I want to get a PhD so badly I don't really care that the social sciences job market is terrible with far more PhDs than faculty positions *and* applying to many nonacademic jobs will leave me rejected and dejected due to being 'overqualified'.

I'm wondering the same thing...

Finish the statement. ...I would apply for the spring at a no-name (but not take zero funding! lol don't want it that bad).
