Complete!

Yay, my GSU application is complete! Hopefully the next time I screen cap this, it will show "Accepted".



Goal is to submit WGU app by tomorrow.

Letters are in!

Today they updated receipt of my Letters of Recommendation. At least the 2 that were submitted online. One was mailed. So the only things showing as incomplete are my resume and SOP which were submitted with the application, online. And my transcripts, which were hand delivered last week.

I will be happy when the whole app shows "complete".

And yes, I really need to get a move on the other app. Been slacking on that one.

Checking app status

So I have to talk myself down every time I log into the application status page and see a large red INCOMPLETE next to things like my SOP, resume, transcripts, letters. I know the first 3 are in their hands. I just want proof that they really, really are. Logically I tell myself...they show the money was received. At least the resume and the SOP were received with the $$. Not to mention, it does say "it takes 2 weeks to update our system bla bla bla"

But I still panic.

LOR writer #1 was supposed to mail letter yesterday. Letter writer #2 promised to submit online tonight. Letter writer #3 will be getting her reminder before I head to bed tonight.

I only need 2 for this app, so if one flakes, I'm cool.

I just wish I could get rid of those INCOMPLETEs so I can move onto the next app.

Application Update

I submitted my app for GSU. I nagged all my Letter of Recommendation writers about submitting before the deadline. I don't know how to check it online since I submitted the app, so I will have to just take a deep breath and trust that they follow through.

[note, I'm a bit of a control freak, so needless to say, this part is not setting well with me]

I have my transcripts and the copy of my GRE scores in an envelope, waiting delivery to the admissions office on Tues. Or heck, maybe tomorrow since the kids' school and dance were cancelled and the ice should be off the interstates. I have the admissions office programmed into my GPS and everything. Yay, blogging just gave me my idea for warding off cabin fever with 3 unruly children tomorrow!

So once this app is 100% complete, I will focus my efforts on app #2. Deadline for that one is Feb 5th.

A little fun

Saw this on the Grad Cafe Forums. Had a little fun making a "Wordle" of my Statement of Purpose. Interesting what gets highlighted.

Submitting...

I lost a week or so of productivity dealing with work stuff, kid stuff, holiday stuff and event hostings (ie: house cleanings). Today, my son is back at school, both girls are napping and I can finally hear myself think for 30-60 mins. I will review my resume, SOP and app one more time this afternoon. I will email my LOR writers to remind them of the deadline. I will call the admissions office to ask about submitting my supplemental documents (transcripts) and tonight after bedtime, I will pay the $50 and push the button!

And then lather, rinse, repeat for the other school. But I have until Feb 5th for that one.

Ha, the universe mocks me. As I finish typing this, I hear the 4yo still singing in her room, minutes after my last "all clear" nap check. I guess I can't hear myself think.
