Totally valid if you know go after it in the end all someone ever has is a leap of faith, I graduated from my undergrad in May ‘19 awarded a Fulbright went and came back (due to financial reasons) and in October back began to apply to graduate school.

msw2020hi! Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 another question!! for those of you who are applying to washU, did you select being considered for merit-based scholarship? I got nervous about the required video interview component but can't tell if it's better to just go for it regardless! also, i don't know if they are generous with the need-based scholarship too. thoughts?

MSWSTRESS Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I am officially offically going to BC this Fall!!! I just submitted my deposit and my response form!! And I am so looking forward to meeting everyone who will be attending BC in the Fall too ! I am the first in my family to have went to college let alone get a master's and then the only one in my friend group currently pursuing a master's. This forum has helped me sooo much with my anxiety about this whole process lol it felt good to know other people were going through the same things as me when no one near me was and you are all sooo amazing !! I wish I found this forum earlier when I first started going through the application process, but I am glad I found it when I did ,everyone here is going to do such amazing things in this world and congratulations to everyone who has heard back from their schools and made their decisions and the absolute best of luck to everyone that is still waiting to hear back, you got this !!! simonsays, Kofowle10, Mswstudent101 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
