strawberrycows Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Ouch University Of Toledo Geography, Spatially Integrated Social Science, PhD (F19) Accepted via Phone on 6 Mar 2019 A 6 Mar 2019 report spam Recieved letter of acceptance. Then recieved a phone call from one of the professors there asking if I would come without funding. After I said no, he proceeds to tell me he read one of my four published articles and literally starts critiquing it and telling me the results dont mean anything and how I am not going to get an assistantship. Totally unprofessional. sh** School, sh** program. TwirlingBlades, Adelaide9216, fortsibut and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havemybloodchild Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) When your English PhD rejection letter has a typo... I'm not sure if I should feel relieved or even more mediocre for not being in the "less than a quarter" of applicants that were spared the "pleaseure" of reading this gem of a rejection letter Edited March 14, 2019 by kendalldinniene samiamslp, fortsibut, Nothingtown and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want to come to Dallas, either. Housing prices, and by extension apartment costs, have increased tremendously in recent years. Not that I care much anymore, since I'll be moving north of the Mason-Dixon line pretty soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mntfr Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Not sure if I should put this on this thread but read this: "On behalf of this university's selection commitee we would like to apologize for the rejection email, that email was sent by mistake due to an error in our system and it was intended for another applicant, as of now the committee has not ruled in your application" So good news for me bad news to the other person, so sorry man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
