Hey everyone!
I am not sure if anyone else applied to the University of Maine but they sent out their decisions pretty fast! I assume it might be a little different in the US.
This is my first time applying, so I don't have a lot of hope Seems this is a very challenging process and I really lack the volunteering portion of the application (other than a few months at a school in Montreal that caters to those with special needs in 2011/2012). If I don't get in this year, that is what I will focus on next round!
My SOI focused a lot on my path to get to where I am today. I failed out of college the first time and went back at 28 to try again. This time, however, I did A LOT better!
Wishing you all the best of luck!
