Fall 2025 Applicants

Incoming rant:

 

I'm officially done with Classics and academia. Got a phone call last night from a program director after receiving a rejection from their school. They told me I was absolutely perfect for their program and that they had been looking forward to supervising me given the similarity in research interests. I was rejected not because I'm not qualified or a good fit for the program but because of the current political situation in the USA. As they are a public institution coupled with the fact that I'm an international student, they have no way of guaranteeing funding for the entirety of the program or if they will even have the ability to fund the students they currently have in the program. Three years of trying to get into a PhD program has ended with this.
