phonotactless Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 1 minute ago, potsupotsu said: ? tbh the Northwestern rejections strike a really odd tone, because the first paragraph is literally "you are denied entry" and then the second one goes on to be like " this decision is hard to convey because we respect your intellectual ambition and wish you success" signed, another linguistics rejection lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havemybloodchild Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 A 5 Mar 2015 Nice letter, but overall pretty disheartening. GPA is MA, excellent recs, years of teaching experience, publications, national conferences. Maybe it's because I haven't been knighted yet, and my martyrdom is still up in the air.

Katie B Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 This was one of my favorites from my daily perusal of the clinical psych results: Generic mass email. 2 out of 3 rejections so far, gonna throw myself a failure party if I get a 3rd. You guys are invited. Bring pizza. Don't worry dude, I'll get some pizza and liquor. You don't need Northwestern anyway. xChrisx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverse psychology the situation. That'll do it. I notice an acceptance in your signature now. Were you looking at jobs when you posted this on the 25th?
