Another chaos

I went to talk to a student advisor to find out how many credits can transfer from OU...I've been asking them about it since last April but they've been sort of putting that off untill yesterday. They were telling me like..."we'll do this once get all the grades in"..."we'll do this when you get to NY." then, once I got to NY, they told me, "we'll do this during the registration"...and so on. Now, it's almost time to register for the next semester, and one of the student advisors finally told me that only 1 class can transfer toward MA degree, which means that I can't apply for the Ph. D. program untill Spring, 2006. (and couple of other classes can transfer once I'm admitted to the Ph.D. program) So, this is what I was told yesterday, and of course I freaked out. The total of 3 years in MA program? The problem is, I can't take any clinical classes untill I get into the Ph.D. program. For the mean time, I have to keep taking general psychology courses. This is bunch of crap! After this conversation with the student advisor, I talked to Doris and explained to her about the situation. I was furious! I even thought about going back to Ohio after this semester so I won't be too behind in the program at OU. For many different reasons, I don't want to go back to Ohio, but I thought I can't risk something like this happening to me over and over. Who knows what would happen after this! Maybe they'll tell me that I can't get into the Ph.D. program after wasting two years in this program, or something screwy like this.

Then, Doris called me this afternoon to tell me that she talked with our clinical coordinator. He will talk to Student Affairs to see whether they will let me apply for the Ph.D. program this year. I don't know how well that will go but the situation is way better than how it was yesterday. I hope they will let me apply this year...I'm sick of taking classes with 70 other students who all want to get into the Ph.D. program.
