Something is becoming glaringly apparent to me the more I read. A few years back I applied to the Master's program at the Jesuit School at the GTU in Berkeley. I have felt a draw to a spiritual path and thought this was where I wanted to study. I submitted a complete, qualified application. I had scored above what was required for the DOCTORAL program there on the GRE. I received a letter back from them that although I was a qualified candidate, "I was not what they were looking for" and "they could not meet my needs". At the time I was devastated and cried for days. About a year after that allegations of corruption and homosexual harassment at the school made the news. I felt a little bit better and thought maybe God had a reason for what happened. Looking back now, it appears it was a blessing in disguise. I'm sure there are several posters out there who know more about that situation. I was completely naive at the time but am very grateful now that I wasn't accepted there.
