  1. thanks, jenste! that's exactly what my dilemma is. my family tells me I would be dumb not to choose the more well-known school and that's what kind of got me reconsidering my initial choice because I do take what my parents have to say into high consideration. but then I have to remember that they never went to grad school, so this is new territory for all of us. i think i will stick with my first choice and go to the higher-ranked school because that is where I wanted to go from the beginning!
  2. i have a bit of a dilemma here that I'm trying to figure out. I got accepted into my first choice master's program, which is at a fairly unknown school to people outside of my state, but the program is ranked #2 in the US for my subject area. however, I also got accepted to a very well-known university throughout the US, but their program is not even ranked at all. I really want to go to my first choice, but I'm starting to consider if I might have better job opportunities graduating from a popular university solely based on the fact that it's well-known and prestigious. how do these things work??
  3. i guess that could be it. it's just hard not to repeat myself in both the personal statement and the supplemental questions.
  4. one of the schools i'm applying to requires both a personal statement and for us to answer some questions, but the questions ask very similar things to what i put in my personal statement--like, what my research interests are, professional goals, why i want to enter that field, my experiences, etc. so what would i even put in my personal statement?! i don't want it to be redundant, but i'm so lost as to what could possibly go into the personal statement.....
  5. I work with children/teens who have developmental/intellectual disabilities (through an actual company) and I have been working with one particular girl for over a year now. I have become very close with her and her entire family. Would it be appropriate for me to ask the parents for a LOR since they are essentially my "employers"? Or would this be too inappropriate and be a death sentence for my applications? I just feel like they know me and my work ethic better than the actual company, since I never have to interact much with the company. I should add that I am applying to Master's programs in counseling
  6. One of my LOR writers agreed to write me a LOR when I initially asked a few weeks ago, and when I sent her all the information she asked for in order to write the letters, she never responded. I sent a follow-up email last week to see if she got my previous email, and I still have not gotten a response. What should I do?? Should I call her at the end of the week to see if she received all my emails? Or should I assume that she is no longer going to write me a LOR?
  7. for some reason, i guess i got overzealous and emailed LOR writers before I even had anything prepared to send to them. of course my recommenders asked for a statement of interests. i'm furiously trying to get everything together to send to them (its been a few days since they agreed to write my LORs and i have yet to respond), but my SOP is taking the longest. i would like to respond to them by tomorrow. should i make a quick and very rough draft of my SOP to send to them and apologize for how rough it is, or should i basically confess that i dont have anything ready to give to them yet? which would look best? i dont want this to affect my letters
