Hi y'all!
I am new to this, but needed to chat with someone and the hubby is bored with my endless chatter about grad programs!Last week I went to Austin and meet with a research team and professor for the program I applied for. The next day I set up an appointment to met with the director of the program. So... We met today! I am excited but nervous at the same time. She said I would be a wonderful fit, but she was concerned with my analytical writing score. She asked if there was anything I wanted to say about it. To that, I told her some about my experience with writing, my enormous text anxiety, and how I don't feel it is not reflective of what the professional writing experience is really like. I asked what I could do to overcompensate for this and she said I was doing it by showing my interest and scheduling to meet with faculty. Texas Special Ed does not have an interview process, she explained that all the committee
members rank the applicants and then they meet and basically barter for people!
So I asked if she would be my mentor and advisor if I get in and she said absolutely.
said they were meeting Monday to make decisions... And she can give me an idea later in the week. Anyone have any clue how much pull the head of the department has? She seemed to like me so, I am hoping she can override anyone who questions the score. I have my fingers, toes, hair, eyes, and
anything else crossed for luck!
Please excuse spelling... Darn autocorrect!
