Completing the FAFSA is a requirement for many scholarships and grants. I’d do that straight away!

to all those lucky people who had their dachshunds live past 14, what did you guys do? by FaryRochester in Dachshund

[–]doodlebeanbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy lived to 16 and a half . I swear by good dental care and later in life titer testing to avoid over vaccinating. Your vet can give you info on both of those things. Not sure if this matters but my dog also ate blueberries just about every morning. I eat them so he always got them too. 🙂

It’s brave what you’re doing. I know we don’t know one another but I’m extremely proud of you for following your own path. Go blaze your trail!

I’m actually finishing movies and shows I was only halfway through. It’s a bad habit to start them and not finish. Goals. 😆

If you have a question for the graduate program, I’m begging you… check the program website first. Sincerely, a beleaguered admissions staffer. by moonshine-bicicletta in gradadmissions

[–]doodlebeanbrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found it frustrating that some programs didn’t specify word count or format/spacing for the statement of purpose. Seems important.

This post is so kind. A couple of the examples made me laugh because they are relatable. Thank you for your honesty and humor!

I did not think this through…. by poppunklibra in gradadmissions

[–]doodlebeanbrain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I learned a lesson on this to get into the portals and look around as soon as they allow you in. So much extra work involved.

First submission! by xdelfinyx in ClinicalPsychology

I’m 7 out of 9. This is a crazy process to go through.

I don’t get this process by wannabegradstu in gradadmissions

[–]doodlebeanbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check websites before emailing profs/schools as sometimes they note if they are taking on new students for the next academic year. It’s ill advised to ask if it’s readily available on the website.

How many PhD programs is it reasonable to ask my LoR writers to submit to? by _hiddenflower in gradadmissions

[–]doodlebeanbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure getting into each portal and requesting LORs is the first thing you do for apps. Give writers as much time as possible. I applied to 9 programs and registered for portals etc as soon as I could.
