I’ve been there and I totally understand the stress. I found a typo in one of my submitted application documents, after I swear I proofed it 52 times, and it threw me into a fit of apoplexy. The whole process is so stressful and designed to make you doubt and second-guess yourself. What I know of vis/design programs,…

Good on you for applying to grad school! I’ve been deluding myself that taking extra classes that specifically don’t count towards gpa or CV instead of applying is anything other than procrastinating. Here’s hoping you get confirmation they’ve received your updated resume sooner than later.

I had a friend who got into a grad program despite submitting an incomplete writing sample (last two pages of a 25 page sample were omitted). Turns out, committees rarely read the whole thing and this committee was no exception. I doubt any members read past page ten.

If I’m reading right, the problem with the resume you submitted is that you copied the experience/duties from one job to the next, so you’ve got two jobs on there with identical descriptions. Is that right?

A friend of mine interviewed for a job she really wanted and had accidentally printed out her writing sample without the last paragraph (or something similar - maybe it had a typo? Something like that). When she realized, they were so impressed that she fessed up to it and allowed her to resubmit it over email. She…

Hi thesaurus. Im sorry that happened! Im somewhat an old so bear with me, but can you maybe call some one there and explain the situation? Sometimes human contact can get a sympathetic ear. Or is there a way to resubmit with explaination? Either way, mistakes happen and Im sure its happens often to them. Good idea…

I realize no one will reply to this but I am sulking tonight. I submitted an application to my top choice graduate program dec 10 and I realized tonight that I attached the wrong resume. The resume I attached to my application copied and pasted my work experience from one company to the company below. So they are…

When James Gunn publishes a number of creepy pro-pedophilia tweets, anyone who questions him is “Bad faith alt-right trolls”. There’s an obvious weird double standard here.

Give the kids a chance ... they’re just looking for a candidate with a good record on every single issue, along with a documented history of always having had those opinions.

Y’all could fucking vote, for one thing. 

Right, I don’t get people talking about him being too old. There’s a system in place! Pick a 35 year old running mate who’s better than he is on the issues where he’s lacking. Problem solved.

The thing to keep in mind is that the folks in national-government orbit, while definitely capable of some jaw-dropping stupidity (I’m loving watching Mueller eat Trump’s lunch over and over again), are generally not stupid people. Not in the classic “lacking in intellectual capacity” sense, anyway.

That means that…

After months of hyping him for the midterms, now begins Splinter’s political assassination campaign against Beto for the high crime of Not Being Bernie.

The article directly beneath this says Gavin McInnes is available.  

Trump is neither a nationalist, nor a patriot. Trump is a Trumpist. Whatever serves Donald Trump, goes - country be damned. It’s not at all about putting America first, but about putting Trump first. You are of course correct in stating that the man doesn’t now the difference between both terms in any case, or…

Regardless of her actual or claimed ancestor, I can’t believe she took the bait.  You can’t play defense.  You just need to play offense with these assholes.

“It is as though...” Speaking as an academic, FUCK YOU, TYSON. That phrase in particular infuriated me. That familiar ‘logical’ veneer, that familiar smooth drawing of attention to supposedly obvious intellectual superiority.

Can we please be done pretending that Warren's presidential bid has legs? I mean, that's what this is all about, right?

I’m not so sure women are less likely to go into certain high-paying industries. I selected my undergraduate major - economics - based on data showing the qualification yielded one of the highest entry-level salaries. I applied for over 300 jobs with custom cover letters and resumes, attended networking events like…

I view sex workers as actual humans, just in a very precarious and perilous profession that sadly depends on 3rd party carriage of advertisement of services to work better than street walking. I’ve even done sex work myself when I was younger although I never tried to leverage it as a career or saw myself ever rising…
