Was it anything to do with taking your qualifying exams naked?

Actually, galactic_hedgehog, I was thinking of submitting some tasteful nudes in lieu of the written portion of my comprehensive exam. I've only slept with two of the three members of my committee so far, and I thought some dirty pictures might help me pull off the hat trick.
Actually, no, it was a really boring "Advisor A or Advisor B?" type question. I just decided after the fact that I had included too much detail. I will ask one really generic question about my situation: is it okay to ask my former MA advisors, at a previous institution, for advice about choosing between two PhD advisors at my current institution?

Depends. Did you sleep with your MA advisors? To be serious, why not? They should know you and should be able to give you advice, especially if they know the potential PhD advisors. |
