wintergirl Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 So I spent the entire weekend in the library working on two things: program research (to find POIs, none of whom I've contacted...yet) and my SOP which is killing me. I know y'all can relate! Today I saw my advisor, who is also writing LORs and chairing my MA thesis committee. I told her that I hope to get her and my other LORs an info packet tomorrow. Surprise surprise! She says she doesn't want to write my LORs until after I've defended my thesis proposal. Which I hadn't even started writing yet. :| Fast forward one major freak out and here I am, writing my thesis proposal in one window and my SOP in another. Ack. Bottom line: my thesis chair is (fairly, helpfully) "blackmailing" me to get my thesis proposal when my first applications are due Dec. 1st. I want to know who here has really mastered this whole time management and/or time travel thing. Any advice? Applying to PhD programs is a full-time job all by itself!

rawera Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I agree. I'm going to talk to a LOR today and I know she'll ask what I've been doing since I graduated and I'll say, "well I was studying for the gre and now I'm applying to programs..." It will probably make for a stronger LOR if you get the thesis proposal done first, though.
