I know this is way too soon! However, I was wondering if there are fellow neurotic future applicants who are biding their time for the 2016-2017 application season?
I will be applying to PhD programs (mostly social/ cultural types of programs). Almost all of the programs will be long-shots. I figure I am at a point in my life (three young kids) that I'm all-in. If it works, it works, and our family is off on an adventure, and if it doesn't, I will stay put and be happy anyway. That's what I'm telling myself! :-)
A bit about me: English major from a state school (3.4, didn't care when I was a freshman and stupid), Master's in Education from an unknown private school (3.9).1 year teaching elementary, 3 years teaching community college, (4 years as a stay at home mom in between), GRE 165/150. I never saw myself applying to any of these amazing schools, but teaching adults really gave me more purpose and opened my eyes. I would have never imagined doing this in my twenties. I think that no matter what happens, I'm glad that I am going for it!
