Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 So the bummer of the week - I heard from a grad school today and they don't want me. For those who don't know, I'm trying to get my PhD in psychology. . .. . and second bummer, i just took a quiz to see if I have PTSD - I scored 86% on the quiz. Uhhhhh uh oh. I do have a plan B if I don't get into grad school at all. I'm wait listed at one school and waiting to hear from a third program. I'm going to get a second masters in psych from an online program and then apply again. Here's hoping, still a chance. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm sorry. I'd love to get my Ph.D. in Psych, thats what my BA is in currently. The program that I'm applying for will afford me the ability to take more schooling, even paid for by them. I have a back up plan if I don't get in of course, I'm applying to a social work program, but I'd really prefer the psych route. There are no good online programs here that I can find. Keep hangin on, the program that is right for you is around the corner! > > So the bummer of the week - I heard from a grad school today and they don't > want me.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thank you so much - I'm so ready for something new, but I think there's something I have to do first. No idea what. > > > I'm sorry. > > I'd love to get my Ph.D. in Psych, thats what my BA is in currently. > > The program that I'm applying for will afford me the ability to take more > schooling, even paid for by them.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Dear Girlscout, Don't despair and don't give up. If it is truly what you want to do and what you believe is your calling in life, it will happen. It took me 13 years to get into medical school. There were times when I thought it would never happen and my life was so miserable in so many other ways too that I often thought about ending it all (literally) - nothing seemed to be going my way. I am happy to report that with little more than my own determination and persistence, I have made it. Things are not rosy and perfect, but I am lightyears ahead of where I was even 5 years ago. You will get there too. Never stop believing in yourself and never give up on yourself, even when everyone else does.
