  5. Ugh! Two of my apps are due Dec 1st and 2/3 of my LOR writers still haven't submitted their letters....

      Same deal here. I'll be camping out by their offices today.

      Fortunately both of mine submitted them before I got to campus, but that was my plan too! Good luck!

      Yep, I don't want to be a pest, but I think I will be sending a friendly reminder email in a few minutes.

  6. Trying to cut my 1,200+ word SOP down to 500 for a particular school. Ugh!

      I had to do that. It was awful.

      It was a painful process but once I had done it, I ended up liking a slightly expanded version of my 500-word SOP more than the 1000 word one. It said all the same things, with a lot less fuss.

      It wouldn't have been so bad if they just wanted the purpose part...but they also wanted the personal part so that made it tricky. I don't really like it, but it's as good as it will get.

  7. GRE tomorrow! Feeling good, but would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous.

  8. I've said this every week since early January but I'll say it again. Maybe this week...

  9. Maybe this week...

  12. First interview tomorrow! I'm slightly nervous but mostly excited!
