Hello!
Sorry I’ve been MIA, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks. Since I last wrote, I took the GRE, then got caught up with Halloween and election festivities- my last hurrahs before going into the final stretch of applications!
As for the GRE, I did alright. I got the score I expected, not wanted. I think it’s a decent result, but there’s that nagging voice telling me I can do better. I may retake it, but I keep deliberating. The one horrifying thing about this blog is that in addition to sharing my triumphs, I will also be sharing my defeats and setbacks. So for anyone out there who feels at times insecure about their applications, believe me, you’re not the only one!
I’m going to have to follow my initial convictions when I first set out to apply. I knew I always wanted to make a difference in the arts, and I plan to finish what I set out.
Since I have late-Nov./early-Dec. deadlines, I am going to forge ahead. Requesting transcripts are on my mental to-do list, and I’ve been contacting people for letters of recommendation. Time to finish up that personal statement. One step at a time…
And on this day of remembrance, a special thank you to all (past and present) for your dedicated service and commitment in the armed forces. Many thanks!
Hey Devi,
I’m one of the other idealist bloggers…just wanted to say Congrats on taking the GRE! I felt the same way after finishing my exam, too- I got exactly what I expected, but still felt like I could have done better. Though I still am not sure I would do better enough to warrant retake it, and then there’s always the risk of doing worse! In any case, congrats on being done- that in and of itself is worth celebrating : )
