WildeThing Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 Anyone else waiting on Boston College? Expected to hear back by now and dunno if nothing is because there have been no news or because it's such a small cohort that no one accepted is on here.

Not surprised after all the acceptances yesterday. Not too down about it though, actually just relieved to know for sure on something! pdh12 and purrfectpals 2

havemybloodchild Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Just realized on the results page (reporting my rejection) I inverted my verbal and quant scores and I’m just unreasonably embarrassed ? ? ?
dangermouse Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) does anyone here subscribe to the enneagram? (aka my favourite of all 'personality' 'tests') my daily update feels like a pretty strong condemnation of me choosing to spend my time daydreaming about grad school rather than, you know, actually reading or engaging in research: Quote Remember that Fours can spend their time dreaming about their talents and the masterworks they will create instead of developing their real skills. Watch for this tendency in yourself today. do i HAVE any real skills? it seems unlikely. Edited January 30, 2019 by dangermouse some of my text turned emergency red for an ominous reason...

I was looking at this last night with my partner and so confused. I was like, "this English Ph.D person scored in the 99th percentile in quant and written, but like 70th in Verbal. That's weird as fuck." But then I gave it a thought and figured you'd inverted them!

barshmie Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Guys UChicago is closed today because of the polar vortex (feels like is -43 ?)... so I'm thinking none of us are getting congratulatory calls/emails from the Dean today. Frankly, all of this is giving me doubts about moving to Chicago anyway. dntblnk11 1

It's my favorite personality test too. AND I'm also a Four, and have been feeling soooo called out by the EnneaThought of the day recently!
placeinspace Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 @bardie Yep I was thinking the same thing. And I 100% agree- I wouldn't survive that cold, and my poor island pup would be even more miserable than he is on the east coast!

Frankly, all of this is giving me doubts about moving to Chicago anyway. i've been feeling the same ever since my mentor mentioned the polar vortex after i told him about my likely rejection from chicago. im not sure if it's self-consolatory or a genuinely practical concern, but i'll take it as long as it assuages my poor, sensitive heart ?

reluctanthuman Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Northwestern is also closed up until Friday. Farewell thee any application news... jadeisokay and arbie 2
