Subject: Re: getting into PhD programs -Reply
As one who just recently interviewed "across the pond" in England for PhD
programmes, I can tell you that it is a whole lot different over there than
in the US.  One of the first questions asked concerns publishing/presenting
and one is generally looked at disapprovingly if the answer is "er, um,
ah.....well, you see.....blah blah blah."  Luckily, I have been able to
gain enough experience in both arenas being at a smaller school/department
(North Dakota State University).  I have a feeling that the same will be
true at the US schools when I begin looking there as well this fall.

<sidenote: I was accepted into 2 of the 4 that I applied to but really
don't know if I can handle the rain all the time so will continue to search
stateside...wait, what am I saying?  I live in ND!  We have SNOW 10 months
out of the year...  ;)  anyone have any suggestions or insight on criminal
justice/deviance/sexuality/juvenile delinquency programmes?  Thanks!
