bgk Posted December 6, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jprmacdonald Posted December 8, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreams Posted December 8, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rising_star Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 You just love creating new projects for yourself, don't you, bgk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgk Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share 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. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnlikelyGrad Posted January 14, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
