#20: I’m Going To Grad School!
On air March 16th, 2020. Recorded March 16th, 2020.
We’ve made it to the end of the first season! Times are weird, but hey — thanks for sticking around.
I’ve mentioned here and there that I was applying to master’s programs in education this year. The decision to apply was one largely defined by self-doubt and the legitimate fear that — given my unimpressive undergraduate record, basement-level GPA, and track record of being unceremoniously rejected from every post-grad fellowship I had applied to during my senior spring — I would be spending over $1,000 on application and testing fees just to be turned down from every school I applied to.
I applied to eight programs. I was accepted to all eight programs.
I’ll be attending an Ivy League school next fall.
This is what happened.
