bgk Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hey Folks, Any of you interested in blogging your admissions journey? Reply here if so! -bgk
ajayghale Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I'd be interested. What are the requirements?
bgk Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 No requirements really. Just that you don't mind sharing the occasional update and leaving them here for posterity.
ajayghale Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Sure thing. How do I go about posting to the blog? Or is it in the the form of a message board post?
vestigialtraits Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I'd like to blog! I feel as if there isn't much about my intended field of study, unfortunately.
gughok Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I'd be interested - what's the sort of content expected?

MarkMc Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Yes. Absolutely. Would be happy to (over) share.
Slagatha Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I've been lurking for a few months, but am keen if you still need people.
Crucial BBQ Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Well, I am still interested. Got an interesting story to tell for sure. SarahMS 1

iogburu Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 I am interested in blogging for Fall 2017 applicants.
DBear Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 If possible I'd be interested in blogging for what's left of the Fall 2017 cycle
fadedfigures Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Is it too late to sign up to be on the blog wagon?
ThousandsHardships Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I'd like to sign up for the 2017 admissions season. Is it too late? I already have a few posts about this on my personal blog, but I only share that blog with a select few people, most of whom are not future grad students, and I'd love to contribute in a more significant way to those who are actually seeking insights about other people's admissions journeys.
Quelq'un Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) I thought that I do not have a good profile to apply to top U.S. Universities, yet I sent emails to professors of interest as this is quiet the dream of my life. Well, the professors replied, one said I have strong qualifications. I applied and spent more than 1500 dollars as some test results did not arrive and I retook a test and reordered reports. Now, I wait for rejections. No one interviewed me, so I expect all to reject me and I did indeed receive a rejection. The problem is that I have turned down a company offer here in Japan to prepare for the GRE, and turned down a PhD offer as I abandoned a scholarship that I had in order to apply. Being Syrian, no successful applications, and no employment would mean going back to my country and losing all the things that I have worked for my whole life. I don't know if the ban affected me. Now I find myself in a limited time to get new opportunities, while my energy is already sucked up with the exhausting unfruitful journey of applications. Edited February 14, 2017 by Quelq'un
