MinaminoTeku Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hooray! I have made my decision and while I am still feeling a bit of the blues in rejecting the other school, I am happy with my decision. ASU, here I come! heyDW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgjoecool27 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Finally got closure. 0/3. Honestly, really frustrated considering I worked my ass off to present at 2 conferences and get a publication in a top journal as a masters student. Maybe academia isn't for me.

I'm sorry to hear that... But I know many highly qualified applicants who went 0/10+ schools their first cycle and got multiple offers the following year. There is are so many factors that go into these decisions that in the end, I feel like sheer luck is the determining factor... Even if a school is really a good fit and they like you, they may already have a lot of students with similar research interests and decided to take students researching other topics this year.. perhaps the professor that was fighting for you wasn't as influential on the ad comm as other students... Or maybe those three schools you applied to had a flood of applicants that happened to have 2 major publications... Who knows.. maybe try again next year with more schools? If you have the ability to be published in a major journal as a MA student, academia does sound like where you should be!! heyDW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyDW Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Dbear is right-- in fact, one of my friends went 0/7 and the next year 9/10. It sucks to do it all over again but if it's what you want, it will be worth it. DBear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
