Decisions and Celebrations
Twenty six years ago, I applied to a college by completing a paper application-and waited three weeks for my decision to come in the mail. *Note-rolling admissions and I waited until the rush was over*
Twenty years ago, I applied to a second college by completing a paper application-and waited two weeks for my decision to come in the mail. *Again, rolling admissions and the application was done in June, when college admissions departments aren't too busy*
A year ago, I applied to a university by completing an application online and waited six weeks for the letter to arrive. This time, it gave me information for getting online and continuing my enrollment process in that manner.
Four weeks ago, I applied to graduate school by completing an application online. It was almost too easy, because I applied to the school I currently attend. Today, I got my answer:
I have been Admitted to the Instructional Technology Master's program, class of 2012!
Now I've got seven months to figure out how to pay for it all, but I'm sure the packet will give me information on that front. But I'll bet the mailman likes the fact that we don't stalk him for those fat envelopes anymore!
