I am applying to 6 universities so I need to tailor it to the other 5. All of my letters of recommendations are good to go, I am dropping off addressed and stamped envelopes to the ( Read more... )

I also found out that after August 31st I wont get paid money from my job with the psych dept because the grant ran out, I like the job, now I am going to continue to do it for free. The experience is worth more than money. I am going to try to get more grant money starting in January with ( Read more... )
