I had to write three 800-word essays and a statistics evaluation for this grueling 4-hour test. You get three tries, but passed it in one!

Such a huge weight off my shoulders!! I just have Chapters 1,3,4, and 5 of my dissertation left. Getting there!!!!

Can you prescribe Rx now (just asking for a friend)? Congrats!

I don't think a phD in arts allows for rx much less dx.

That is great news!! I know that is a big relief now!

Since you are now "All But Dissertation," I am wondering:

1. Do you have a target date/range yet for defending the dissertation?

2. Are you wanting to pursue a career in higher education? Or something else?

(My apologies if you have answered these questions before.)

Thanks!

Congratulations! I understand the difficulty you went through. I’m a psychology major working towards a PsyD and statistics is a HUGE part of grad school. It’s pretty hard and kept me angry for many months. Statistics do not follow the rules of math. My focal point is clinical and I don’t plan on doing any research. I feel stats is wasted on clinicians. It’s also used as a gate keeper to keep the riffraff out of the harder degrees. I watched 65% of people taking stats fail. It was the hardest A of my career. Close second were some of the physiology and anatomy and capstone chemistry courses for the MD portion. My brain itches just thinking about it!
