Long lurker first time poster! I’ve been running off nervous energy for weeks now. I’m also a first time applicant and I went for six schools, NAU, University of Washington, Syracuse, UCSD, University of Oregon, and Vanderbilt. (Two Rejections already and another I just know is gonna be rejected. One professor didn’t send their letter to Vanderbilt :Shrug:).
To throw in my own opinion about some authors I included in my SOP were Iain Banks and Erin Morgenstern, I went a bit more modern with little classical influence so we’ll see how that works for me.
I love the super supportive community here with everyone! What’s really brought me out of lurking though was a confusion I have on an email that I got from NAU, I’m confused if I’m getting to stage two or something with them? They say they’re recommending me to the Graduate College, but not that I’ve been officially offered admission yet.
