@GGNewton @YoungThriver I’m not sure exactly what you are asking advice for here… just general admissions stuff?
If I’m going to be honest, I don’t share too much in the public forum. If you want to hear more from me or get specific advice, feel free to PM… that’s what I do with most people.
What I will say, generally, is this. Despite what happens on M10, know much you’ve learned from the process. I don’t know about you, but I feel a connection to those who even take the initiative to apply. If M10 doesn’t go your way, (which statistically, it probably won’t) you need to take what you’ve learned and use it. Otherwise, you’ve simply wasted your time. And one more thing, the process is imperfect, yes, but its pretty damn good. Last year, I didn’t think I’d get in; I knew I would. When I got rejected, I made endless excuses ranging from the school clicking the wrong button to a global conspiracy. Now I know they did me a favor. I was not ready. What I’ve learned from doing this has put me ahead so many of my peers in numerous ways. I don’t think any of this needs to be said to you. But just know, in my eyes at the very least, there’s a certain amount of respect and admiration you are awarded just for wearing the Applicant name tag–don’t forget that.
Again, feel free to reach out at any time. Best of luck to both of you!
