  • LOL don't get me wrong...the writing samples for English are WAY important haha, it's just that they won't look at or even consider your application unless you have a strong GPA and GRE scores.  That's really interesting that applying to a Ph.D. pro…
  • Hmm well...I'm an English major...I'm not exactly sure if they're the same process as far as applying or not...but my advice to you (if this is your second round of applications) is to try and apply to different programs within your field and if the…

  • [quote author=epchois_nai_nan link=topic=10616.msg129456#msg129456 date=1296685583] I can send you a copy of the Chicago Demotic dictionary which has many words where the Coptic P corresponds to a 'p' - not a 'b'. And this helps preserve the consist…

  • That's interesting that Coptic has two different "o" sounds...in Modern Greek, both the omega and the omicron are the exact same sound...in Classical Greek, however, the omicron was pronounced like the o in "long" and the omega was pronounced like t…

  • Well...here's the thing...I talked to my FOC about this and what he told me was this: He said that these compliments may lead a person to have pride and so essentially, you need to think of yourself as the lowest person.  I know my faults and my we…
  • I have the same exact problem.
  • I have kind of the same problem...but not really...I'm applying to Graduate school and I'm stressed already lol...there's a very good chance I might have to go out of state and I barely know anybody in other states :'(

  • Ioannes, thank you for your reply...I am not so much worried about whether it will mess up my head or not, for sure if there is anything that I am not sure about I would go straight to my FOC and talk to him about it.  The issue is not that they rea…

  • Thank you Fr. Peter and Remnkemi, I will do more research on this topic since I clearly had the wrong information.  I appreciate your corrections Fr. Peter and I will look more into it.
  • [quote author=epiphania link=topic=10599.msg129328#msg129328 date=1296607781] umm...today assyria is syria. [/quote] Actually...the descendants of the Assyrians are scattered all over the place...mainly, they lived in the place where Iraq is.
