Whew! It was a process, and my last person writing a letter of recommendation didn't submit it for me until the last day (I asked about reminding her on the bucket and people suggested it would be ok to reach out to her, I'm so glad I did, she has had a whirlwind of a summer and had forgotten, but thanked me for the reminder and got it done just in time!).
My program is a special one that is allowing for my last semester of undergrad to double count for my first semester of my Master's and it's very small and this is mostly a formality (I can't imagine I won't be accepted, it's supposedly a "done" deal), so I'm not really worried about it, but it was still such a relief to hit submit!

Congratulations! Regardless of how much of a "done deal" it might be, getting that application submitted is a big moment.

Congrats!! I am trying to get my school to start a JUMP (Joint Undergrad Master Program) like that for Nursing. It's so helpful for not only the students (for ours there's no GRE requirement), but really helps the school with retention numbers
AGain - CONGRATS!!!

That would be so nice! This is the second cohort, so fairly new but I was thrilled to find out about it, it's especially helpful for December graduates, allowing to fill that gap rather than sit out for a full 8 months makes so much sense. |

Congratulations!!
I think it is so great for you to do this!
(I am the one that is terrified of the GRE-but I really have been giving it more thought lately. My youngest son has offered to tutor me in math ((he is in high level AP math classes)) so I am one step closer to getting over myself. LOL)

Congratulations!!
I graduate with my bachelors this December and am on the fence about grad school. Right now I am burned out on homework. I also wonder if it makes sense at my age. I'm not sure I can get a job that pays enough to recoup the costs of a higher degree at the age I'd be when I finally finish it.

Congratulations! As someone who is working on a masters right now I can say, it's a lot of hard work. Good luck! |

I'm not sure I can get a job that pays enough to recoup the costs of a higher degree at the age I'd be when I finally finish it. I hear you! I actually sat down and did some math to determine the benefits, for me it makes the most financial sense and really secures my future...industrial hygiene is a high demand job and not a lot of people getting the degree, and it pays a lot more. Especially with the ability to cut one full semester off the program. (I get to pay as undergrad for that last semester) |

Congratulations! I'm in my third semester of my Master's program right now. It's a 10 course online program and I'm only taking one course a semester so I've got a few years to go yet. I've been working in my field for 25+ years so the course work isn't too hard, but it is time-consuming. I started my MS two other times but it took too much time away from my family. Now that my youngest DD is a senior in high school I feel like I finally can take a little time for me |

Congratulations! I loved grad school - worked my fanny off, but it was completely worth it. I was amazed how proud my kids were of me... I finished my master's at the age of 47, the year after my twins graduated from college |

I'm not sure I can get a job that pays enough to recoup the costs of a higher degree at the age I'd be when I finally finish it. That is a really good thing to think about. DH was going to go back, but after he talked with his boss and did research it turns out the cost of the degree wouldn't help very much in the salary department. I loved grad school and would go back in a heartbeat if I could. |
