Mcnair Scholar.

Post by thirdlibra » Wed Jul 07, 2010 7:18 pm

Im a current Mcnair Scholar at my university, and was wondering if it would even be a good idea to put it in my PS. Its a program aimed for those who would want to pursue a PHD and not a JD, but I have since decided from being in the program that law is what I want to do with my life. Would this make me look indecisive and possibly work against me? Its a pretty prestigous thing to have on your appplication for PHD programs, and I found out SMU Dedman waives the app fee for mcnair applicants interested in the law program. But i'm just a little worried. Thanks...

You should definitely put it on. It won't work against you at all.

As long as you don't end the PS with your mistress shooting you in the head while you sleep on her couch, I think it's fine.


















To early yet??????
