At any rate, wanted to create a space for aspiring members of the class of 2015 to share wisdom and experience. And, of course, to rant as often as needed.
Good luck y'all!

Still waiting. I applied pretty late in the cycle, though. Mind if I ask for your stats? Any news? I'm trying to stay hopeful!

I was held. But I don't have another source for a LOR and I don't consider my current employment as significant enough to push my already full one page resume to a 1.5 page resume. So a LOCI would seem a little strange (pretty much - "I WANT TO GO TO YOUR SCHOOL"). I have read that a letter like this would be entirely unnecessary.Aqua wrote:aw, were u rejected? if not, it's not too late!!!FryBreadPower wrote:Making me feel bad for not submitting any of the above.boosk wrote:are you held or still waiting on a response?
