I love the hours of my new schedule! Not so much how everyone at work treats me because of it–but *read this* I do not care about their $hitty attitudes or their horribleness towards me. I am not at work to make friends or have social hour. Be cool all you want. I got a chilly go home from the doctor really early today. I think it was meant in a mean, stigmatizing way–but boy was I happy to be able to study in my jammies! I wish I didn’t have to go to work at all on Friday. Also, because I didn’t have to work all day, I actually got to go to my department’s session on how to apply to grad school. My school always puts things on Fridays–so I’ve missed them for the last 2 years because of work. Here are some of the things I want to remember:
-What to look for in a program:
**research interests of faculty
**clin praticum opportunities
**size of cohort/class
**lifestyle of location
===costs/scholarships!
-Visit prospective school
**an official visit, w/meeting of department
**meet faculty
**official tour
**talk to students in program to see how they like it
-make myself a notebook of each university I am applying to
–include criteria
–write due dates
–what info to send
–how much in fees
-3 letters of reccommendation
–from faculty
***it’s OK to req these via e-mail
***it is also OK to req a meeting w/that person–to get to know me FOR the letter writing
***give them:
++++CV/resume
=====GPA–whichever is used, just specify how I arrived at that #
=====work experiences
=====honors
=====volunteer/clin experiences
***put this info in a notebook w/table of contents to make it EZest possible for them to find info & write
***also make a checklist of what universities, what format, & dates of when these are due
***for things that I want them to be sure to mention–put a * or highlight or something
–letters from outsiders not weighted highly at all = don’t bother
