Just want to wish you all the best! I'm having a pretty crap Christmas as my GRE is next week, 29 Dec. Merry Christmas!

Hi humdrum, I'm in somewhat a similar position as you. I did very poorly in undergrad, for the same reasons as you. I'm not applying to PhD programs, but Masters first given my performance back in university. Taking my GREs at the end of Dec and really banking of these plus my essays and Recommendations which should be favourable. Another different between us is that I'm applying for a Comms. degree. Your approach seems sound. I'm curious who your recommenders are? I have my ex-bosses writing these for me and managed to get 1 prof to vouch for me despite my dismal performance. All the best.

Hi All, Anyone applied to BU under the priority admission notification? I just submitted my application with the placeholders for my essays - how do you submit your real essays before the Feb 1 deadline? Cheers & good luck to all! Diana

Anyone here applying for a Masters in Communication/Media? Also, my UG and jobs don't necessarily tie in to my interests at grad school - anyone in the same 'predicament'?

If you still want to! goop84@Yahoo.com

Hi Gracie 915, Like you, I am applying to Communication/Media Studies. My applications are due in Feb and so I haven't yet written my complete SOP. Do you want to have a further discussion on our apps (assuming you're still in the process of). If so, e-mail me at goop84@yahoo.com. I'd love to share tidbits and perhaps gain some insight from you - vice versa too, I hope! D

I'm at a full time job. Like the previous poster, I've not missed a step at work. I think in a weird way, when you have less time, you just get more productive! Thankfully my job also allows me to be anywhere so a lot of time I'm in my PJs answering e-mails and working on those flashcards! Taking my GRE on 29 Dec.
