But it's frustrating how many grad students, including myself, have gone through EXACTLY what you are describing. I understand that profs are overburdened -- I feel overburdened just thinking of what life will be like as one -- but just passing us along without providing the tools to improve ourselves is irresponsible. Even more irresponsible is then smacking said student down with a rejection. If you haven't given the proper tools, where do you think we're going to get them from?
