    If you haven't checked your app status in TU Portal yet, under the "admission" tab you can click on your application. Scroll down a bit to where it says "status".

    ps: I would assume rejection from Temple at this point...but...it seems that no one else has really heard back either! So I'm holding on to hope

    Has anyone called Temple? I did, no answer.

    Temple's deadline for MA is March 1st...maybe thats why it's taking so long?

    If anyone has any info/contact/correspondance with ANYONE at Temple, please post! I haven't found a real reason to email them yet but if anyone else does, your info will calm my nerves. THANKS!

    Congrats Octavia. I'm glad you posted your your thoughts. I needed to hear that.

    I just went to Temple's grad site and had to do some extra clicking to find Slideroom. Sure enough, there it is. I know I never read anything about submitting items through this program! I just sent in everything (like the PhD site asks). Weird...wonder why I never saw this when applying. Oh well, I guess if they have all my info, it should be ok, right?

    Thats funny you mention feeling numb, I can relate. When I saw the word "Tyler" I was confused, not excited. Why are they emailing me? While waiting the two seconds for the email images to load, I felt a rush of excitement realizing this could be the moment...it died and I quickly neutralized. In short: NUMBNESS is a great way to describe what I feel, too. Good one. I think we subconsciously feel like we passed the threshold of any good news, and plateaued off into"whatever" mode.

    Agreed, that would be no fun at all! Question: Did you die when you refreshed your inbox? I did.

    Has anyone had any correspondence/ heard any news from Tyler or BU? I just got an email from Tyler, an invite to their MFA exhibit. That is all I have heard since applying.

    For the record, oseirus, seeing your icon has become part of my day.

    You're almost there. Try to do your best. It sounds like you need a vacation and some good books. Change up your surroundings!! Just never give up.

    I think you should go and at least try. Opportunities like the ones granted to you don't come everyday. In fact, they are rare. You should at least try. You might love it all over again. If you do choose to go forth, go all in. Bring your "A" game and get ready to "F up the competition". If you have a defeatist attitude and are waiting for reasons to be let down, you will inevitably be let down. Make a mental decision of what you want to do, and put 150% of your energy into it. Give yourself a chance! Good luck.

    Thanks MoleMocha =) I do think my situation must have been that much worse. Good luck

    My advice was my advice based on my experience from the get-go, and my post clearly stated that. We can argue all day and night. The OP is obviously not going to the Dean with their problems. I don't feel I have to disclaim every one of my clauses with "this is purely my advice from my own experience, I hope I'm making that clear!". Only a knucklehead wouldn't weigh their options. I simply was offering one. To offer a conclusion: No, MoleMocha, I don't think that your adviser's actions are normal.

    ktel, Maybe I am not making myself clear. Obviously this person needs to speak explicitly to someone about her problems, whether its the Adviser herself, other students, etc. In my PERSONAL experience none of this worked and I ended up getting screwed after I graduated. The person made my life a living hell and I was afraid to even apply to graduate school. I finally spoke to a different Professor, the new Chair of my dept, and she suggested that I write a letter to the Dean describing my experiences. I have yet to do so, but one main difference between myself and MoleMocha is that I don't work with the lady anymore, so I see the concern with going to the Dean in that particular situation. I was suggesting something that was suggested to ME by a department head. I'm sure there are more ideas to go around. I wouldn't call it tattling. I look at it as standing up for oneself. If this poster's situation was nearly as severe as mine, I would definitely speak to someone who is able to change the situation. Remember, this is academia and it is a professional environment. If someone is acting unprofessionally they need to be addressed. If it is not a severe situation, then deal with it, and quit complaining. PS I am speaking to a personal matter that is very similar to the situation described, so my gut instincts are based on what I experienced. It wasn't just a person who criticized writing. It was someone who made me feel like a pathetic excuse for a student, stalked me, criticized my work and ideas, and told me not to apply to graduate school.

    I don't think that talking to the Dean would be going over anyone's head. In fact, I think it would help you. You could call for a meeting with her involved. I'm not suggesting tattling at all. Well, good luck!

    There is no mail on Monday. I may die.

    This person will come back to haunt you in the future if you don't do something about it now. These are the types of people who don't like to see their students succeed. It is so strange. I can totally relate, this brings back so many horrifying memories of undergrad. In the meantime, I will say this: do your best to stand up for yourself. If she tells you its good, then rips it apart, make sure you say "I am confused because you previously said it was good.". Make this person meet their match. If you don't stand up for yourself they will continue to abuse you. I wish I could go back and do so many things differently! Its hard because you feel like they are in control of something precious to you, and you don't want to rock the boat. TRUST when I say, you have power in this situation. DO something! And furthermore, contact the Dean and COMPLAIN! If you can, get other students to do it with you. You need to be heard or she will be in charge for many years to come. i.e.: Mine was in charge for 20 years. because NO ONE EVER SAID ANYTHING!!! Yea, do something. I have so many thoughts on this! Don't let this lady make you feel like you're not good enough! I feel like we are talking about the same person, eery! She only nit-picks to make you feel less than you are, its a power and control thing. My entire undergrad cohorts in the department individually had the same exact problem with our adviser, and we ALL never said anything until graduation, where we all realized she had been doing this to everyone. The only reason they continue is because no one has challenged them or scared them. Wow, I have so much to say. I am getting so angry! haha!
