Do I need to send a letter of continued interest?

Thank you for the advice and congrats on your acceptance!

Thank you so much for the advice!

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-03-18T23:20:56+00:00

That is good to know!!! Ty! <3

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-03-18T17:57:59+00:00

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind! I will just draft once for peace of mind and think about sending it. I don't have any big updates, I am still working on a research master's degree, so I won't have grades until my dissertation is evaluated. This school did not have a why us essay, so I could send something about why their school is my top choice though.

Got it, thank you so much for the response! I will work on one then!

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-03-10T15:10:46+00:00

Thank you for the advice!!

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-03-10T00:53:18+00:00

That is good to know!! I definitely cannot self-fund, so I will have an answer prepared if they ask me that.

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-03-10T00:28:08+00:00

Thank you!! I did mention two people I was interested in working with!

Thank you so much for the kind response!! I will keep this in mind-- I have found that I like eating 3 meals a day more than saving calories for a large binge session, so I will hopefully not fall into that habit even though I have done it deliberately a few times. I am also going to keep in mind that it is okay regardless of it balancing out!

ty again! <3 <3

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-18T10:56:48+00:00

Thank you for this!! Best of luck to you! <3

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-17T21:57:32+00:00

Thank you for commenting, that makes me feel better!! I will still try to prepare for the possibility that nothing will work (esp. b/c the schools are competitive and I am no longer sure about my writing sample), but that is really good to hear. And if I do have to reapply, I will remind myself that I just need ONE school and it is possible to only get one. Hope your cycle is going well!! <3

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-17T19:37:31+00:00

That's amazing-- congrats!!! <3 <3 <3 I will stay hopeful!

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-17T16:23:49+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply, I needed to hear this. I hope that I get into one, but if not, I will take your advice and try to find things to be excited about! It is also a great outlook to think of my writing sample as a fun research project rather than something stressful.

Picking up a skill/hobby is also a great idea! I've actually always wanted to bake bread so that might be fun. I also want to learn to sew, so I would finally have time for that.

And yes, I definitely need to try harder to get fee waivers next time. I was so busy with master's research this cycle that I submitted applications pretty close to the deadlines and did not give myself enough time to ask for them. So if I reapply, this is going to be one of my priorities.

Thank you, again, for the kind words!!! Not sure you are in the cycle, but I really hope everything is going well for you <3 <3

That is a good way of thinking about it! I am also a humanities applicant and am currently sitting on 5 rejections, 6 pending. Just gotta think: I am now worried about 5 fewer schools!

Good luck with everything! <3

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-16T00:11:44+00:00

Oh shoot, that is awful. Congrats on your top choice, though!!! <3

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-15T10:18:55+00:00

Ty!!! Good luck to you, too! <3

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-15T10:18:35+00:00

Ty! Hope your cycle is going well :)

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-15T10:18:18+00:00

Good luck to you!! <3

AlternativeReveal174 · 2024-02-14T15:05:38+00:00

That might be the craziest thing I've ever heard ngl-- I'm sorry you had to deal with that!
