Tam Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I now have all of my applications basically in, at least the parts that seem hard (the actual application forms, SOPs, etc.) I've sent my GRE scores. I still need to fill in my recommenders on the last couple of schools (where to send things), and have transcripts sent. I don't want to send transcripts until grades come out for this semester, which will be about three weeks from now. For some schools, I also need to send transcript copies to the department. Some days I think I'll get into my lower-rated programs for sure, and probably into at least some of my higher-rated ones. Other days I think I'll be lucky to get in anywhere. But I guess, other than finishing this up once grades come out, all I have to do now is wait and see. If I don't get in anywhere (with funding), or I end up not being willing to go to the place(s) I get in, I'll take some graduate courses and try again next year. Whew.
socialcomm Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Sounds like you have a good plan! Keep taking deep breaths!
LateAntique Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I just finished my 6th application. Depending upon what I hear in January, I may complete one more - but it looks like I'm pretty much done!
caputmundi Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 I just finished my 6th application. Depending upon what I hear in January, I may complete one more - but it looks like I'm pretty much done! Does this mean you think you will hear back from some programs as early as January?
modernity Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 So jealous!!! I am smack dab in the middle of mine (I had much later due dates) so I can't wait to be on your side of the fence.
rising_star Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Does this mean you think you will hear back from some programs as early as January? When I applied to MA programs (way back in Fall 2005, to start in Fall 2006), I heard from two program by January 31. One had an application deadline of Jan 1, the other was Jan 15. YMMV of course.
Tam Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 LateAntique, congrats! I'm hoping to deliver stamped, addressed envelopes for LORs to my recommenders later this afternoon. Fortunately, there aren't really too many of them, since most of the LORs can be sent online.
