Hello all, when I tell you I am so glad I did not discover this website until this Monday, I have been obsessively checking this forum like all day every day since. I was a regular person casually wondering if I'd get an email back before this. Now I check my email two times an hour. I am a college and career counselor, and today my seniors waiting for their undergrad acceptances were telling me I was stressing them out!
But, you all seem very lovely so it's worth it. I am not on Facebook so I don't know how valuable any of this information is, but I applied to a truly absurd number of schools because I work for Americorps and I wanted to take advantage of the ones that were free. The one I saw people asking about is University of Mississippi; they reached out to me on Monday to tell me they were missing my third recommender and to please send it as soon as possible.
I very sincerely apologize for being the one guy holding that entire response time hostage, lol. I've been waitlisted at UTK, Miami University, and ASU. I hope any of that is helpful to someone! Also-
I went to BU for undergrad, and I just wanted to say your post made me smile so hard! It was taking cw classes taught by BU MFA students that really made me decide that I loved writing too much to pick a reasonable major. Every professor I had was amazing, taught me different things, and was just so fun to take a workshop with. Several of my recommenders are on the decision team this year, and if they thought you were good you must be amazing! Have so much fun with Leslie Epstein, man once told me I was talented but he was dismayed at the way I was using it lol. BU's program is great and Boston is a fantastic city. When you teach EN305 know you're inspiring the next wave of applicants.
