Whatever you do, don't make my mistake and call. Apparently I missed where they had stated no phone calls. Hopefully that doesn't screw me over.
But I learned that they will be sending emails out today. Yay?
I've never had a professor that didn't understand sincere medical issues. If you really run into trouble with your photosensitivity, I'm sure you can get a letter from your school's disability office.
The difference from last year is that the only undergrad internship they are offering this year is the mentoring program. When I emailed them over the summer to ask how I could strengthen my application, they said they didn't take any undergrads last year except in the mentoring program, so I think they changed the overall structure to reflect that.
From what I understand, the acceptable range for the math scores for many humanities programs is fairly low. At least, that's what I'm banking on... :/
I'm extra nervous because I don't know if I can really compete with people from more prestigious schools. I go to a small state school due to circumstance and I am excelling here, but I'm afraid my application won't be considered next to students from NYU and Brown.
Really? No one's heard back at all yet?
I'm hoping there were fewer applicants this year. Last year, I only had to write one essay. This year, there were three plus letters of recommendation at time of application. Maybe that thinned the herd a bit?
