bgk Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Hi All, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in contributing to a 'blog' writing about your admissions experiences? I envisage you'd write a few (~5) posts between now and April 15th along the following lines - Personal Intro/Bio (can be semi-anonymous if you wish), Academic Interests - Reaction to a rejection - Recation to admission - Decision process for accepting the school - Summary of your admission experiences And of course you'd be welcome to write more. I'd setup a (wordpress) blog for you. Let me know in this thread if you have questions, and send a PM if you're interested! Cheers
jprmacdonald Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I'd be up for it - it's sort of a lonely process and I wish I had some sort of guideline as to what other people's GRE/GPAS were, how much undergrad research they had, etc etc.
ridgey Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Fantastic idea! Would you want posts at/by specific dates, or just when inspiration struck?
weeble Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I'd be willing! I just hope I get an acceptance to react to...
studyordie Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I just hope I get an acceptance to react to... That was my first thought when I saw this
Dreams Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 That was my first thought when I saw this It is all part of the mystery I guess. Not all stories have a happy ending, though I would not wish the bad ending on anyone here.
bgk Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 OK, all who've messaged me or replied here expressing an interest, I'm writing messages to you now!
rising_star Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 You just love creating new projects for yourself, don't you, bgk?
bgk Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 You just love creating new projects for yourself, don't you, bgk? Yep, and never finishing the ones I start. I'm especially bad around breaks when I think "hey it's break and i've finished my finals", let's start something. But we'll see how this goes. :-)
UnlikelyGrad Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I'm already blogging (see link in signature) since I found scant amounts of helpful advice for non-traditional applicants. I've been figuring things out as I went along and thought I should record the process for posterity.
duncandam Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I want to share some experience too, can you put me in the blog?
