Every time I think about the application process to ongoings, I get a pit in my stomach. Did Hunter, G+T, and 3 privates this past year (for PK), and can't bear the thought that I have to do it all over again, and on a much bigger scale, come September. Any words of encouragement -- about how it all goes fast and then it's done. Right? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Try not to think that far ahead. Wait and see what happens w/ G&T - dc might get in at your #1 choice for all you know. [ Reply | More

Nice thought. But he got a 94 Olsat so hardly an option in D3! I'm very realistic. [ Reply | More

Even if he doesn't get your #1 choice, you may find you're happy with the program he does get. Wait and see and try not to torture yourself unnecessarily thinking about next September. And if you do have to go through it again, at least you've got a lot more experience now, and any privates you reapply to for K will realize how much you like them. [ Reply | More

Just PK. And just to 3. I hear you. The best advice is not to think about it. And I try not to but every time my mind goes there, I get the shivers! [ Reply | More

Goes fast, and then it's done. Like pregnancy and birth. [ Reply | More

I did not feel like it went fast at all, but I think you can prepare and ease some of the pain. I waited until after Labor Day to start thinking about essays and applications and then felt it was a real chore. I couldn't really re-use essays as a few were school specific. But, see if DC can't take ERBs now or mid September, and then, where you can, schedule interviews late in the process (after schools have ERB scores). I felt like schools which had DC's ERB scores (which were very good) before child and parent interview, took DC's application more seriously. Good luck! [ Reply | More

BTDT too and will have to do it again this fall for dc # 2. But I keep telling myself that in8 months it will be over. You're down to the last long push. Also, make yourself NOT talk about it. Start reading the ARTs pages of the times or find some hobby - something that you can occupy your mind with - especially since you know the ropes. I am so sick of talking about this with everyone and decided that i needed to find something more interesting to talk about/think about. Good luck BTW. [ Reply | More
