Thanks a lot! I am Latin American and I did both my undergraduate and master's degrees in Latin America (that's why my english is poor). However, my three LORs are from academics with studies in the United States and England. I think that is helping me.

Awesome! Good for you!

Hey guys - trying to put together a thread only for Complit. 

Has anyone heard back from Stanford and Northwestern?

LOL. I just uploaded the post and Princeton writes to me. They call me for an interview on February 4. If someone else is in this position we could cheer each other up and get through the anxiety together haha. Hugs

Congrats! This is awesome!

Qq: Did you do your undergrad in the US?

Does anyone here applied for Complit at Stanford and Northwestern? Have you heard anything from them?

I'm older¹ and looking to change careers, and knew this was a long shot, just because of my relative weaknesses² as an applicant, even before I really understood how selective the programs were. So yes I'm excited (because there's always a chance!) but trying to think of it like I've applied for fellowships -- it would be incredible to win but I'm not really losing anything because it wasn't mine to lose.  Plus I know I'd be in better shape next time if I don't get in anywhere and decide to go through this again.  So that's what my brain's telling me.  The rest of me is looking at the spreadsheet I built based on reporting times averaged over the last five years and ranking programs by expected response. 

 

¹ Presumably older, I don't know. Maybe the rest of you guys are all ancient too.
² Like how I overuse footnotes

I'm 37 and on the same boat, i.e., changing career/area.

Hello, everyone!

Guys, something really annoying happened these days. One of the universities I applied to asks for official transcripts to be sent.

The company that did the translation simply does not respond to my emails! I sent about 6 emails from last week to today, and I was just ignored.

This is a Canadian company called Docsbase. What could I do in a situation like this? Any idea?

Thanks a lot!

Programs in the US usually require original official transcripts (not copy) only at enrollment. If that's not the case, that's a first for me.

Anybody heard back from Columbia (Laic) or Stanford (ILAC/Complit)?
