So I talked to Doctor K on the way to the airport and told her that I might try to do the doctorate with my masters department—I almost certainly would get in. The good news is that it is a faster degree and I could probably do the research that interests me, The bad news is that it is not funded at all (as far as I can tell) and it is less clinical and more managerial. Anyway, it would be worth having a sit-down with my old advisor and seeing if it’s the right thing.

Then again, Doctor K suggest volunteering for a prof in the program akin to the one I was not accepted to.

I think I am looking at Fall 2008 now, but I’m not sure.
