a+b=f and f=9, therefore a=693. Pure logic right there.
Piss on a stick! I’m screwed for grad school. My school of choice, the University of Minnesota (where they offer both a master’s AND a Ph.D in qualitative and quantitative psychology) had a total of 512 people submit applications last year. And guess how many got in? 40. I. Am. So. Screwed.
There are only a few schools in the United States that even offer a Ph.D in QQP, so now the possibilities are further opened for me, meaning I could go to:
-The University of Minnesota
-Ohio State University
-The University of Nebraska-Lincoln
-The University of Kansas
-The University of North Carolina
-The University of Georgia
Wee.
A collage of colleges
Dangit, I’m never going to get off the west coast! And I’m going to be up to my eyeballs in a $200,000 debt (optimistically) by the time I’m 24. At least if I go to the top school in terms of a psychology department.
So I did a little research today (I’ll probably do more later) and came across a list of schools ranked by their psychology Ph.D. programs. Here are the top contenders (at least according to one list):
1. Stanford
2. University of Michigan—Ann Arbor
3. Harvard University
So I went to the Stanford website today and checked out the tuition. I saw the number $11,000 (rounded, of course) and I thought, “oh, that’s not TOO terribly bad.” And then I noticed that they do their thing in QUARTERS, meaning not $22,000 a year but $44,000 a year. Frick. And I don’t think I can get my Ph.D. in a year.
Ah…I’m screwed.
And don’t even ask me about Michigan or Harvard’s tuitions.
