Hi @mintchocol8e! Thanks for starting this! I love having some community as we all get through this.
I'm applying to Stanford GSE, though for a master's degree, specifically the POLS program. I'm still working on my SOP for the different programs I am applying to. All of my LOR writers are locked up though, which is a relief. I'm hoping to get my materials submitted to the different programs by Christmas to give myself a little buffer just in case.
Crossing my fingers for you, me, and all of us applying this year!
