Post here to get your worries off your chest
rrobinson replied to Teaching Faculty Wannabe's topic in Waiting it Out
Concerns: I only applied to one school, a SUNY university because financially, I needed a state school, and they had a fabulous internship program for second year specifically focused on my area of study and field. I applied really early for fall 2019 in in October 2018, but I didn’t realize it wasn’t rolling admission until after the deadline date in late January. Had i known it was a full deadline, i would’ve applied to more programs. I want to think i’m a competitive candidate: 3.58 undergrad GPA, positions and work in my field in college and post-grad, a current management position in my field, a personal statement that demonstrates passion and knowledge of my work, and 4 letters of recommendations from supervisors and professors. The program didn’t require GRE scores which is good because while my writing and verbal were fine, my qualitative was low. Just anxious waiting to hear from ONE school and i don’t want to be overconfident. Excitement: Im passionate about my work and field, and it shows both in my personal statement and the work I do in the field. My supervisors/directors know that and have communicated that to me, much less in a letter of reccomendation. I know i’m right for the field. I’m ready to push forward and create a career for myself that I’m going to love! -
I applied to the full time 2 year track as well, but applied in October 2018. I had everything I needed, but when the job opportunity came around, I waited to apply until after id taken it and worked the experience into my statement of intent. a friend of a friend applied for the advanced track and heard back last week, so I'm really starting to get nervous.

Took a super big risk and only applied to SUNY Albany because i needed a state school and i love the look of their internships in aging program second semester! 3.58 undergrad gpa, internship experience in long term care facilities, a post grad position as an Activities Coordinator in a long term care facility and currently the Activities Manager for a Skilled Nursing Unit! Has anyone heard back from UAlbany, yet?
