I am currently fulfilling my academic destiny and applying to PhD programs. My better half and I have both been out of the game for a while, and are applying to different programs at schools together. Two body problem alert! I have already been accepted to school A. I really like it there and they seemed to want me. MBH has not heard from school A yet (later app deadline), but has an interview at school B, boasting a better reputation and warmer weather. Everyone assumes we are moving there already. But just this week we both received interviews to school C- 2 hours from school B, but in the middle of nowheresville. I am not as excited about school C, but MBH has received excellent feedback from faculty there.
The uncertainty is driving me crazy. Part of me wants to tell program A that I'm waiting for MBH's acceptance, and see if they can work some interdepartmental magic on his behalf. Then I can be done with the whole thing and focus on finding housing hundreds of miles away.
I'm already worrying about whose career to put first, and we're just beginning!
