This is another way of saying that you all are amazing, interesting, accomplished people and I'm *really sorry* that we have to reject so, so many of you. I think that a lot of faculty at a lot of schools feel the same way.

I know this knowledge doesn't do much to mitigate the sting of rejection. But I hope it does a little.

FWIW, 1) I was admitted to *one* of 9+ graduate programs to which I applied. And that's only because, at the time, Columbia took in dozens of unfunded people and watched to see if they could swim. 2) I am, in fact, teaching at a school that rejected me from its PhD program.

Also, 1) You probably don't want to become an academic unless and until we can roll back the neoliberalization of higher education. I'm serious. 2) Keep in mind that a huge number of political scientists wind up outside academia, in jobs that don't require a PhD. </thread>
