KLPLANTER Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 People, stop contacting departments. Setting yourself up for the following scenario:Â Committee sitting around reviewing applications and your application comes up. "Oh yeah, that's the prospective student who nervously and impatiently emailed us. How unprofessional. NEXT." brokenwindow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you are not personally offended does not mean that it's not offensive to other women, who you do not speak on behalf of. "No need to make a deal of it" is where you stand. That the term was directed at you, is not really relevant. The word was used. It's offensive. You don't get to hush a conversation just because you personally are not offended.

The DGS promised to get back to me to see if we could figure something out. Vanderbilt is my top choice, so hopefully things work out. Hey there, congrats!  Did the program offer to pay your travel expenses?  I ask because one of the programs I applied to is having an Open House on March 1-3 for admitted students.  I'm working abroad, so I didn't ask about this and they didn't fill me in on whether they reimburse because I said I couldn't attend.  But I was thinking the other day of trying to go, and wondering if I should ask the program whether they'd consider covering what they would cover for a national student (maybe $300?) and I could cover the rest of the plane ticket ... I don't think I'm going to make it as it's coming up really quickly, but I'm wondering about trying this if I happen to get into another one of the programs I applied to.  That way I could fly up and visit for an Open House, and visit the other program, too.  Does that sound like a reasonable thing to ask?  Edited February 9, 2016 by ts1493 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a staunch feminist, I personally find the fact that douches exist far more offensive than the use of the word as a derogatory term. Keep your head up, Shay. ;-) I don't speak on behalf of all women, but I will always speak up in these types of situations. Dude uses slur, I'm saying something. nowayjose, goofylemon and BoomSoon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
