This is my first year applying for PhD programs. I did better on the GRE than when I applied to my master's program. I was more focused on the applications. I actually felt as if during the 5 years since I graduated with my master's degree I had matured a lot and become more focused. If I don't get in this year, I'll have another year to grow and present a better application for 2011. Also, I'm taking a vacation overseas, I'm going to read anything I want, and I'll be able to save money. It's not all bad...

I'm actually relieved to see this thread. I'm in exactly this situation, and I never expected it. I know that the schools will take the letters late, but this professor is writing the most important one. She's also been incredibly supportive both on the the phone and by e-mail about my application and agreed in July to write them. December 15th was the deadline for a program I'm really interested in attending. That deadline has now sailed right on past. I don't want to send any more e-mails, because I was starting to feel like a really chipper stalker. So now I'm scrambling for a replacement for my remaining apps. and hoping that she at least sends the LOR, even late, to the other program. Yuck. Good luck to everyone waiting on letters!

Is there anyone else applying for a nursing PhD? And am I looking in the correct place?
