I only have 1 more application for the 15th . . . and then 9 for January. I'm hoping to get them all done in December, though. Right! -

Thanks! I got my requests from Interfolio for the letters and it says they are for "University at Buffalo Psychology Graduate Admissions." Ahhh! I did the English application, I swear... -
The Curse Of Winter Break

Seriously. I want to rematch them NOW but it looks like they're not on netflix instant anymore. This is a travesty. When is Netflix just gonna have everything already? -
The Curse Of Winter Break
asleepawake replied to DontHate's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Oh, gosh, I want to like How I Met Your Mother so much. Jason Segel? Alyson Hannigan? Neil Patrick Harris? YES PLEASE. But it is just so terrible, especially when it comes to gender. It has had its moments, but what a letdown, right? Anyway, I mentioned Homeland in my SOP, at least for schools that seem open to some pop culture. Hello, humanized white terrorist, I want to write about you. -

Buffalo seems to work okay for me, but now I'm panicking, because WHAT IF IT DIDN'T? -
The Curse Of Winter Break
asleepawake replied to DontHate's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Buffy is great, and it was such a huge part of my adolescence, but I do think there a lot of better shows that also deserve academic attention. Either that or I'm getting too lazy to read anymore so I just want to do pop culture studies foreverz. I think Veronica Mars was a better show than Buffy (Sorry!) as far as feminist-ish young adult series go (if you ignore season 3, which unfortunately, you cannot). So, um, if you haven't, this is the winter break you should watch Veronica Mars. Seriously, though, television is such a great medium, even though it airs a lot of garbage, it also airs stuff like Homeland and Louie. Oh, and, I've been watching Nashville, and it's kind of great, so you should watch it if you have a Nielsen box so it doesn't get cancelled. -

I did Chicago the other day and I'm doing Vanderbilt now. JUST WHO DO I THINK I AM? Seriously. -
Could Anyone Speak to My Chances?
asleepawake replied to jmcgee's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Yeah, the consensus is we don't have a flipping clue what your chances are, or our own. We just have to wait it out. As for how competitive any of those programs are, Petersons.com (http://www.petersons.com/graduate-schools.aspx) has some numbers worth looking at, but they're likely old and usually include both PhD and MA applications. I'm curious though, how do you like Wayne State? I think I'm applying for their PhD, but the website is a bit barren. -
What Do You Guys Think Of CUNY?
asleepawake replied to DontHate's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Someone in the other thread said they had their transcripts and GRE scores mailed directly and it was all received (last year). I wonder if it's worth trying to do this last-minute tomorrow... -

asleepawake replied to DontHate's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Blah! This was the main reason I'm not applying--funding, or lack thereof. I would consider changing my mind, but it looks like I don't have time since they want hard copies of everything. -
Chances at Comp Lit Programs?

I think it said that was okay, at least in the job section. Adding information to those lists was super weird, and I hate not being able to view my documents after I upload. I want to actually SEE that I'm not uploading why I'd love to go to Vanderbilt to Boulder.
