Operation: Don’t Get Rejected
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009Two steps forward, one step back.
With Christmas around the corner, and my application deadline creeping up, I am about ready to drown myself in a bowl of eggnog. I’ve really made some headway with my graduate school applications, yet I still have a ton more to get out of the way.
The only question is, if college applications were a game, would I be winning?
Letters of Recommendation:
Got my two top-choice profs to agree to write me a letter. Yey!-+2
Cannot seem to get them to commit to meeting me. Boo! -2

Haven’t started rewrites. -1

TOTAL SCORE: +2
Nah nah nah, Life. I win!
