I am considering a highly specialized graduate program where the median age of entry is 42 and eight years of professional experience is required...the only thing you have working against you is panic. Panic is the enemy of all things logical. Take a deep breath, you will be fine!

Hello. I am new to the forum (American) and hold an MPA. I am waiting for admission status on a second graduate program that is more specialized. I am truly stunned by the volume of comments on the main roster that celebrate Acceptance, and then ask for advice on which school, or whether the applicant should even do the program. Not to mention those that ask for more details on the program they have just been accepted to! Ie., paraphrasing, "Received acceptance 3/31, how good is this program?" I realize a "shotgun" approach may be more common in some fields...but, come on! Is anyone else bewildered by this?
