the 16th huh? That's this Monday!!!! Scary!

Well the deadline for many schools is approaching. What I'm thinking is that many schools will take a quick look at applications next week, and then won't look at them for another two weeks due to the holiday break. Anyone agrees?

Yeah programs that have a deadline in December won't even start preparing and printing the applications until the deadline. In which case early applications are only useful in that you have enough time to make sure ALL the required materials have been submitted.

That is exactly what I will do tomorrow!!! Good to know people do send these reminders that are already included in the application program.

this whole application process is stressful. Dealing with LOR writers that say they submitted the LOR but I did not receive a confirmation e-mail and the application says it has not been submitted. Can't wait until this is all over!!!

I actually thought MIT wasn't so bad. The application was so simple, the program was simple and effective. Some other programs required more specific stuff.

Thanks for the heads up! Just submitted the MIT application. Done with all your apps?

Three more applications to go (MIT, Upenn, Stony Brook)!!! How's everyone doing in terms of submitting their apps?

Ha! I tried hard not to get hooked to this site but here I am with an account and all. Stressing over the whole grad school application! Glad to know I'm not the only one though.
