Slowtwitch Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Good Luck with the race. Steeplechase is grueling. I'd rather do triathlon any day. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Good Luck with the race. Steeplechase is grueling. I'd rather do triathlon any day. If i could swim, I'd totally do one. I'm a good runner/biker, but I'm just not a great swimmer. haha I'd rather sit in a lawn chair with a diet coke. Psht, after most of my runs I do just that, but I drink normal Coke. not diet. #yuk 2 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Race was really fun. I was exhausted though. I worked a meet for 11h in the Boise sun yesterday and that trashed me. The race was okay though. Form and everything was good. I was just really really tired. 10:16 finish time. Not that great but hey, it was my first one ever on tired legs. 5 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 GL man. Thanks, I had a horrible experience while communicating with the BSU director of kinesiology. I sat down with her in January, she told me to apply early and do well on the GRE which she said to schedule in April. I turned in everything in February, the only left was the GRE. Three days before my GRE she emails me saying she's rejecting me from the application process, (this is 2 months before the official application due date). I pretty much had to argue for her to accept my application, because i did exactly what she said I should do. She completely disregarded the fact that I hadn't taken the GRE yet. Trying to say she couldn't accept my application because I haven't take it yet. After that whole scenario she pretty much said "Oh, send me your new scores and I'll forward the application for review." Uh. damn straight you will. Rejecting me before the official review date? WTF. So, I applied to a PTA school as my new plan A. Where I had a much better experience with the department. I'd rather do that to be honest. /rant. sorry. haha 4 Quote Link to comment

I had my share of application problems too - one school I applied at I drove 8 hours to meet a prof and he blew off my meeting. It was only by chance that I caught him at his office, and it was the worst meeting ever. I would never recommend someone go to work with him or in his program because of it. I just submitted a grant for my dissertation work. I sure hope I get it so I can get out of grad school... 2 Quote Link to comment

Wow, You'd think upper level education would be a little bit more respectful of a student or potential student's time and money. But good luck with the grant and dissertation! Quote Link to comment
eitallent Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Good for you! Stand up for yourself. Some times, not always, the admissions process is a glimpse of the school administration overall. It is good to have other options so a new plan A sounds like the right thing to do in this case. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment
k4ndyk1ng Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 2015 cannondale scalpel 29er.... i need want it. even the 2014 model is beautiful. (and the same price... :/ ) look into getting 2014 ex demo bikes they are like 40% off or work in a bike shop like me and get them cheap Quote Link to comment

I tried a specialized stumpjumper, a trek (which i didn't like at all), a cannondale trail 29er, and the scalpel which easily took the cake. 1 Quote Link to comment
