Grad School Apps: 2 out of 5 |
I was taking a break from a huge experimental hoopla when the news arrived. My Outlook Express inbox displayed three new e-mails, one of them being an invitation to another school for an interview.
The two school are both in the East Coast, and pretty close to one another.
I was not as ecstatic as I was with the first one, yet was filled with relief. I knew that this school was going to let the applicants know which ones they would like to invite by this time, and was resigned to the fact that I was not going. I guess people have proved me wrong all the time, and sometimes its good to be wrong.
The realization then sank in; I would have to prepare to talk to these professors. Oh no. I'm less than prepared to talk to these guys, because I have been mostly focusing my efforts on the first university. This was my second university of choice. However, I should not put all my eggs in one basket, and treat both of these interviews with equal concern.
I am getting a little anxious about this, and the potential for change. A big part of me is not wanting to go through with this. That part is wanting to stay where its safe and where I know everybody. However, this is my dream. I shouldn't let these doubts and fears get in my way.
By the way, the reason the tally is now 5 is because I applied to another school, and am planning to apply to a few more. We will see how that goes. :D
