    Hey! I saw a few people post already, but is anyone else having trouble getting your HarvardKey? After inputting the HUID given in the letter, I get this message: Error!The HarvardKey system is not able to complete your request at this time. Anyone else getting this message? Or rather, has anyone been able to log in and get your HarvardKey? Thanks!

    @memphismocha Yeah, I definitely understand the challenge of having to balance all of that, but I'm sure that, considering your past successes, you're doing a great job even though it may sometimes feel like you want to pull your hair out haha. And thank you! I had a chance to read your post earlier. You sound like an extremely strong candidate who'd certainly make many contributions to the program and beyond. Haha yes, it's definitely been a great experience working and living in China. I've learned much more than I thought I would. And I am! I'm looking into MBA programs as well as Stanford, UPenn, Vanderbilt, UVa, UC Berkeley as well for M.Ed programs. How about you?

    Hey, Memphismocha! Awesome that you're applying, and thanks for your response! The application is coming along fairly all right. I still have the SoP to finish. I keep getting stuck on organizing and crafting it. Might just be best for me to tear the whole thing up and start with a much stronger outline going into the new draft. How about you?? I'm sure you're gonna be great!
