havemybloodchild Posted January 27, 2019 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. samiamslp, bibliophile222, Elliott E. and 1 other 2 2

elx Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 "Who do you think you are?" is my favourite quote from the ones above - but look at this gem: mayu101 1
Ternwild Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Ooooo. Now that rejection has got to burn. They really liked your application. Took one conversation with you for the grad committee to be like:
purrfectpals Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Me: "Rice I love you, I need you, take me now!" *begins to passionately undress* Rice: "thank u, next" This is my mood right now. pepperpop and samiamslp 2
Katie B Posted February 2, 2019 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

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?
