woolferine Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yes, loathing yourself and planning on 0/10 suicide is surely the way to get into your top-choices! I dunno; if I were you guys, I'd ask woolferine, hazelbite, and Mr. Grimwig about their board habits. Haha my only secrets are 1) lurking this board lyke whoa and 2) drinking a lot of low quality booze while lurking (although be careful the time of day you do this because a DGS might call you when chugging said booze alone on a weekday evening. Um, not that this happened to me or anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Espressos Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Dibs on making next season's 0% Confidence of Acceptance thread. Judging by TripWillis' success it seems like a winning maneuver. Just kidding, we all know Two Espressoes is 2013's TripWillis. Yes, loathing yourself and planning on 0/10 suicide is surely the way to get into your top-choices! I dunno; if I were you guys, I'd ask woolferine, hazelbite, and Mr. Grimwig about their board habits. Also, it seems like not having an avatar and having less than 15 posts is a good way to get into an Ivy. Just an observation. I agree about Two Espressos' chances of success next year -- kid is gonna tear it up. He/she is like a junior and has expertise and interest in a million areas. Woah, that's really high praise! And I probably don't deserve it, either. But thanks a lot, rawera and TripWillis! I didn't think anyone on these boards even knew me, haha. I do hope to "tear it up" next fall though. I'm ready to kick some ass. Edited February 25, 2012 by Two Espressos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Espressos Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Why can't they have a show like that for humanities PhDs? That would be really cool, but it's such a specific niche, so I doubt anything like that would ever happen. I would totally watch it though.

ekant Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I don't know if anyone watches The Big Bang Theory, but with every (rejection) email I just imagine Sheldon popping up and saying BAZINGA This. Yes. One of my favorite shows on TV. It bums me out a little bit, though, because most of them have PhDs and I want one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripWillis Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 I was refreshing the results board just now and realized something: I am not waiting on any more English programs to report, so my refreshing is just compulsive behavior at this point. Yale Am Studies is the last one, and then I'm all done... what a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawera Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Sorry guys and ladies, but big bang theory is not a good show. Sorry. Instead: The IT Crowd. Similar niche. It had to be said, though, for taste. surefire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aged P Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Boston University has now rejected me twice via email, and I've been assured I'll receive a rejection via postal mail as well. I never loved you anyway, BU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainy_day Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well today's good news (waitlist at UMinnesota, a school I'd love to attend) has now been tempered with a Columbia rejection (finally) and Cornell acceptances that don't include me. Cash prizes should be awarded to anyone who survives this process without going mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxious_aspirant Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Cash prizes should be awarded to anyone who survives this process without going mad. Has anyone else on here been crippled by self-doubt and feelings of academic inadequacy in the past? Because this process is just about the worst thing you could prescribe for said people. I started teaching high school 3 years ago and (this is going to sound worse than I intend it), I started to understand that I might be an intelligent person. Thank you, grad schools, for ensuring that that illusion crumbles. Hmph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anxious_aspirant Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Or, conversely, unstated reaction to said schools: "Why...why don't you love me...?" *sniff* Like they're emotionally distant parents causing serious psychological damage. Too much? Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsoitgoes161 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've been repeating, "Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms" in my head quite a bit recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
