How are you wording emails asking if profs have room for a research assistant??? I just realized I don't know how professional to make this. My masters is going to be in Cultural Studies, but I'm stuck on how to word? Like a cover letter? A proposal? A litte note asking if there's any room before I go into too much depth? Help!

That's how I feel everyday since January 15th lol

Dropped a Thesis - Who to Tell and How while I wait?
BreathingSister replied to roxyshoe's topic in Waiting it Out
Yeah, I'm in a similar situation in that what is reflected as my major with probably change but I've literally not changed anything about classes I've taken, interests, or GPA. I am not going to tell anyone until I'm admitted (if so), and then if it's a problem I'll deal with it. I wouldn't tell them anything in your situation. -
I am so happy for you, that you were able to come back and make such a glowing return! I wish you the absolute best!! That being said, mine is a chump compared to yours but... I pretty much faked an interest in a field to work with a POI I've been working with for a while and I just learned that program requires interviews. While my POI is a pretty informal person, I am TERRIFIED that I will end up, quite undeservedly, getting an interview and literally have nothing to say to the field. The POI is oddly placed in this program, and this specific program does have a pretty interdisciplinary twist (which is how I was introduced to it), but I will be completely horrified if I get in an interview because 1) I will pretty much know it's the "who you know, not what" thing at play and 2) I'll have to bullshit through a phd interview, which does not sound like a good afternoon. Again, so happy for you, and mine sucks in comparison but I'm losing sleep over it and the whole effing process. Good luck!

Well it's all inclusive whiteness, so everything involved in everything needs to be destroyed. Woo! I'm excited, humans!

lol, imo that can be summed up in two words: white people. In which case, that was EXACTLY what I was thinking and am looking for a sign up sheet.

Literally as I was writing it, I refreshed three times. But I entertained the idea after doing minimal research and finding that, as suspected, Harvard didn't offer a phd in "Rocket Science" lol

What you think the adcoms are saying about your application
BreathingSister replied to DeWinter's topic in Waiting it Out
I didn't! But I suppose I could report a similar experience, those who know me understand. To outsiders, perhaps it's not as hilarious as we think it is hahaha (but obv they're wrong) -
Waiting it out: theatre, performance, cinema PhD want-to-be 2012
BreathingSister replied to Bats's topic in Performing
diermh, I contacted the UCI Drama department today and he said that committee members will contact who they're interested in for interviews by late February, otherwise "official letters" (meaning rejections) will be sent out in late March/early April. Perhaps the two schools are on similar timelines? -

Does anyone else kinda not trust the results board sometimes? I saw an acceptance to Harvard for a PhD in Rocket Science last week, and there's been talk of some rejections posted when none have been issued... And now I'm sitting with the realization that some troll out there could strike troll-gold and mess with all of us by posting false results. I for one am too all kinds of tired for that. **refreshes results page**

BreathingSister replied to unitname's topic in Waiting it Out
Of course! This explains so much haha -
This must be some weird kind of masochistic defense/coping mechanism because I do the same thing like every two days. If I turn down a PhD with funding opp (since I only applied to one PhD), someone have me killed.

Context: for the last ... oh I don't know.... SIX MONTHS, I've not gotten an unwarranted call on my cell phone. Like not even one, wrong number, nothing. Last week University of Western Ontario emailed to say that next [this] week the adcom will begin reviewing applications. This morning, BAM! unwarranted call from a private number. No message. And I just missed it by 2 minutes. Immediately I thought of how stellar I am and that they accepted me in less than three days! Then I came back to earth and that's 99.9% not possible. For those who get calls, are they usually from private numbers and do they usually leave messages?
