…I think I actually ranked till 5 or seomthing!</li>
</ol>

<p>Lol, I ranked till 3. My 3rd was Agronomy.</p>

<p>I wonder how many people actually used the electronic form.</p>

<p>I thought of doing it, but then I figured it’s rather easier fo rme to use paper. </p>

<p>haha…I had to look up wat “agronomy” means…I knew it’s to deal w/ agriculture…but not sure what exactly is the case w/ this.</p>

<p>It’s a pretty broad field, focused on applications rather than theory. It involves bioengineering crops, studying soil and water quality, and the usage of pesticides/fertilizers, among others. </p>

<p>Well, now comes the 1-2 month wait.</p>

<p>if it rank so many you would have to write a lot more explaining why you ranked each one the way u did</p>

<p>yea…I guess that’s true…but since my first three r soo related…:smiley: that’s why I just went ahead and explained a bit more…it also helps to show more of me to them…I guess…but anyway, i don’t care of it right now…I got crapload more to apply to…so…yea…I wudn’t be depressed if I can’t get into it.</p>

<p>I just tracked my application, it’s still not delivered even though I sent it on express(1-2 business days) last monday!!! What should I do? Will they not take my application into consideration because it’s passed the deadline?</p>

<p>^ Call USPS stat. It’s their fault, and they should refund your money since express shipping is guaranteed. Also contact Ms. Durham and explain the situation!</p>

<p>yea…they shud refund ur money…but i’m pretty sure ur more concerned that whether ms.durham wud accept it…so, go ahead and show her the tracking number or anything explaining the situation.</p>

<p>Hmm… I never got a confirmation email. Should I be worried?</p>

<p>I didn’t get an email either…</p>

<p>idk…u shud…they sent me an email at my mom’s email address…so, yea…it was kinda wierd.</p>

<p>I think a <em>lot</em> of mail gets lost going there. One of my recommendation letters was even lost, and it was a really good one. Try to always track packages, and in doubt, contact Ms. Durham.</p>

<p>But yeah, if they’ve received it, they should be contacting you unless there’s a huge flux.</p>

<p>Funny thing- I just got the email an hour ago… but it said that my application arrived late. I thought that domestic mail wouldn’t take more than 3 days or so… but apparently it can take a lot longer to arrive there.</p>

<p>Well how do you define 3 days? Do you include the day you sent it? USPS has a pretty nice calculator to predict when a package/mail will arrive where.</p>

<p>I didn’t include the day I sent it… and I’m from the fringes of a big metropolitan area where mail is usually really fast… I assumed I wouldn’t need to worry about it… I think I’m still being taken under consideration though…</p>

<p>Oh, exact same thing happened to me, classof09. I sent it on Wednesday, and I live right here in Texas, so I was surprised.</p>

<p>Thanks Marimare and Innovative.</p>

<p>Yes. I am getting a refund, which is good, because I am applying from Canada, so the postage for express mail is $15. :S</p>

<p>I got that confirmation letter saying although it’s received, it’s not on time. I emailed Ms.Durham back about my situation…hopefully she’ll understand.</p>

<p>good luck everyone!</p>

<p>^ Hehe, I paid $16 to mail one rec letter…and I’m in the U.S. ><em>></em>> Actually, I didn’t. My dad did. He was heavily persuaded by the attendants. Lol, <3. </p>

<p>You should give her your tracking number to be more persuasive ^^</p>
