i really do actually want your opinion
poll:
should i apply to all the grad schools i planed to this year, despite the fact that my recomendatons will be weak, and i have little work experience.
or
should i take a year off, get a job in the feild, gaining both work experience and a good recomendaion.
or
should i only apply to the schools that are relativly easy to get into and call it a day.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm pretty worried. My grades are solid, ive got research, feildwork and the fact that work in a hospital behind me. I applied for an internship for the spring. I have decent GRE scores... but should i wait a year or two? Get some really good experience to back me up before applying. I want to have my doctorate and be practicing by the age of 30... thats 8 years after i graduate... and a program will take me any where between 4 and 6 years to complete.
OR
should i say fuck it... and apply for a anthropology PhD and dissapear into another counrty for a few years at a time?
hahaha.
ga. Psych GREs in like 24 days... and i pretty much have to re-teach myself everything i learned in college... there are a lot of names and theories that i dont know/dont remember/never learned. And i really have to review behavioral stats. Thats a big one.
but my tummy is growling and i need to eat something.
