The letter I wish I got today: http://science-professor.blogspot.co...applicant.html

Have to say I have nothing nice to say about Pacific University today. Everything from their fussy application to the fact they never respond to phone calls or even sent a "thank you for applying, we have received all that we need" email, to the rude man i talked with whom I think runs their grad admissions to the stories of the disrespectful way that they run their interviews... all of which has left me with a bitter taste.

Oh, and the (kinda thoughtless) rejection letter. I'm sure that has nothing to do with it...
Nope, not a thing.

So glad this is almost over. I need a good night's rest and some time and distance to recuperate from all of this. Three rejections in a week and I quite literally want to curl up in a ball and hide.

If I thrived under this kind of stress I would have considered med school.

Hope this was an acceptable rant, I actually do feel a little better from it!

Update:
I had two major exams yesterday and not enough sleep...I reread the rejection letter this morning after a full nights rest and other than the rather dumb line about "hoping [applying to them] was a valuable experience" it was fine. I was being dramatic and inappropriately emotional yesterday. I reread what I wrote as well... whoa. A bit much, sorry.
