Hey all, some of you know that I am awfully ambitious about my academic goals! I have just submitted my application for an ivy league university, so any positive vibes you can send my way would be great, they will be looking at applications after the first of the new year!

Thank you to everyone that had their little parts, either as my personal editor (thank you sexy lexy) or as support! and there is too many to list! flowers

So keep your fingers crossed! biggrin

Definitely good luck my dear....

On the other side.... the professor I'm dating said the quality of work produced by Ivy League students is on par with everyone else..... so just go where your heart leads you. And your wallet. But of course I want you to have everything YOU want.

Happy Holiday!

The program is exactly what I want, doctoral program (they pay me), and there is faculty there that I want to work with.

Yes, I know I will be producing the same work, however they choose to screen harder and the good thing about the school I sent my application into, it is known for networking. How do you think Obama did everything he did :wink:
