i graduate in december and i have had my heart set on going straight into graduate school starting in january. i worked my butt off, pulled up my gpa, did well on the GRE's and applied early. i only applied to one school because in NC, most grad schools wont start students in January but this one school did. well i received a phone call on friday from an admission's counselor telling me not to worry because i had been pretty much unofficially accepted. it even said so on my online application status. so i get all excited, tell people it looks like i'm moving to Charlotte in January, and how nice its going to be to not have to move back to Raleigh.
well i receive ANOTHER phone call today from the department i applied to telling me they did not accept me. i told her it couldnt be because the admission's counselor pretty much told me not to worry. well the director of the dept (who was one who called me) gets all furious and says that the counselor should have never called me and they're not supposed to say anything.
the director tells me i'm not smart enough to be in their program and maybe i should look somewhere else. i told her my gpa wasn't high because i transferred twice and before anything else could be said, she says, "well if we made exceptions for everyone, we would have to let everyone in." it basically meant to me that i wasn't good enough for her program and never will be.
i worked so hard. i had over a 3.0 culm, a 3.3 within my major and i came with 60 points of their minimum on the GRE.
now it looks like i have to start completely over and figure out where i am going from here. so if you know of anything, i'll even move out of state, that would be fabulous. but anyways, thought i would share
so it looks like no grad school for me
