This is such a relatable thread to let loose. I've been on the runaround with applications and these are all the horrible moments I experienced with application time. 1)Getting letters of recommendations and having professors question whether or not, I want to remain in the field. Uhh Duhh I wouldn't be asking you for a letter if I didn't. 2)The humility of asking for a letter of recommendation when your GPA is not top notch. That cringe and stare down your professors make. 3)The reluctance of having to self-imput everything in CSDCAS. 4)Feeling like an overwhelmed waiter taking orders from graduate schools; 2 recommendations here, 3 recommendations there, different personal statement questions, pre-req completion, which website to apply do..bleh bleh bleh 5)that feeling when the people you graduated with in high school all have their lives already on track and you're stuck still getting a career. "Wow, you have a baby and got a job as a nurse, and you moved out?! Wow, way to go........you make me sick"...loll 6)Writing personal statements, and bothering people with your third revision 7)Finding that "HOOK" for your personal statement... here's a hook "For all that money I spent sending transcripts, taking the GRE, sending GRE scores, CSDCAS application fee, would an extra 1,000 money order soften that "acceptance hand"? 8)the amount of pimples I get from my sweaty anxious palms gliding over my chin and temples 9)Family members joking with me to apply to the University of Phoenix....I laughed at that one.. (is my fear that obvious?) 10)God bless all you hardworking students that have that 4.0 GPA and research experience, I just want to say "WHY ARE YOU SO PERFECT?!"..........you make me sick too...loll jk I love you guys even when you think that your A- in Hearing Sciences will affect your chances in Grad school..lmao Forgive me if I offended anyone, I've been dying to say this to anyone whose in the same boat.
