  1. I've been saying this for years. Glad it's not just me. Even more glad I'm leaving Texas.
  2. I'm so sorry to hear this. I went through something similar the first time I applied--he was going to re-enlist and not go with me. I didn't end up getting in anywhere and he didn't re-enlist, so I avoided the situation but it was extremely hard at the time. It'll work out--if you have to do long distance, it's manageable. Feel free to message me if you want to chat or vent more privately about this.
  3. Has anyone heard from U of Utah post-interview? I saw some people got rejected but I haven't heard anything...?
  4. @Epi_17 I was rejected from the Johns Hopkins mental health program too! I feel your pain. I asked to not be considered for the MHS because I did not want to get another Masters. HOWEVER, one thing that I would mention is that they largely admit to the mental health PhD from the MHS program. So. If your goal is specifically to get your PhD in Mental Health from Hopkins and you can't accomplish your research and career goals elsewhere, then the MHS might be a good idea. Otherwise, I would probably work and apply again.
  5. Oh, that's great news. I hadn't kept up with it and last I heard, the people at my VA were concerned about filling my position when I leave. Glad to hear that was exempted.
  6. Just a note about VA positions-- mine was a great experience, but VA is currently under a hiring freeze except for special positions, so these will be very hard to come by this year.
  7. Start applying for jobs now. These jobs will be competitive, so apply to everything you can. Join listservs, search job boards, and ask people to forward jobs to you as they come across them. Working for a year (or several) is not a bad plan B at all, especially if you find a place where you can publish and get good recommendations. Most impotantly, though, if you want this, don't give up. This is my fifth round of applications, and I finally got in. If this is what you want, use this time to improve yourself and your application. If you aren't sure this is what you want, use this time to figure it out. Hang in there!
  8. @iDance Exercise is great. I lift, I spin, I walk. I don't run. But I do a lot of active stuff. It makes me feel better and is good stress relief. I'm still fat. And so people assume I'm lazy and sit on my ass all day and do nothing but eat. Which is why comments like the one I quoted above piss me the F off.
  9. Seriously? What an awful thing to say.
  10. I would say Harvard's name implicitly carries more weight. Doesn't mean the school is any better, but people tend to be automatically impressed when they hear Harvard. Side note, if you're comfortable, can you PM me your POI at Harvard? I'm assuming rejection at this point but it'd be nice to know for sure.
  11. Waitlisted at Auburn. My POI was super nice but I removed myself from the waitlist.
  12. Can the person who got the Auburn acceptance PM me? Who was your POI/did you go to the regular interview or the alternate? Thanks! Congrats!
  13. I don't know, sorry. I found the same thing when I looked back. I do know, though, that the POI I spoke with before applying said they had reorganized the department and admissions, so it's possible that previous year data isn't reliable anymore.
  14. I emailed the admin a while back and he said interview invites would be extended by Feb 10, and final decisions would be made by mid-March. I haven't heard anything else, so assuming rejection based on no interview.
  15. Anyone want to claim the Boston epi acceptance? Congrats!
  16. There haven't been any posts since last night for any discipline, as far as I can tell.
  17. @GreenEyedTrombonist I'm sorry to hear that all that is going on with your grandfather. I hope they can get his care sorted out soon. Hang in there!
  18. Totally with you on that. And do I want to work with some of these people?
  19. That is probably doable with one car, then. I'm sure she knows this already, but there are quite a few rural areas surrounding Charlottesville. Good luck! It's a cool place. Let me know if you have other specific questions.
  20. I grew up in Charlottesville, so my perspective is a bit different, but my experience is that walking/biking/public transit (busses) is great downtown/near UVA but outside of that area, it is a lot harder. I think one car is doable, but it definitely depends largely on where you live. Where will your spouse be commuting to?
  21. Also, has anyone heard from Auburn post-interview? The DCT mentioned we'd hear by the end of last week, but I didn't hear anything or see anything posted.
  22. Thanks! I'm finally starting to feel better. I finally went to the doctor a few days ago on the prodding of my fiancé. Hopefully the meds will knock it out soon. I hope your should feels better! Yeah, I ended up taking two sick days last week even though I'd been out for so much time already. I just need to rest. I hope this all calms down for you soon. I have to say, it was fun visiting the programs and meeting people, but I was so glad to be home.
  23. Definitely. I was so emotionally and physically exhausted from the interviewing and the traveling. Ultimately, I ended up with bronchitis, so hopefully you are staying well!
  24. This is basically what I did too. It's pretty short, only a couple sentences. I also added that if they had any more questions, to feel free to contact me.
