Philly it is!
ok, so i'm posting a little later than the 3/1 deposit date. I was seriously neurotic the day before (when I had to send a fedex out). Looking at all the literature both schools had given me; making phone calls all week; near the end, I even pulled up google maps and "walked" around the areas surrounding both schools.
In the end, I sent my deposit to Penn. After all the analyzing & praying & pacing back n forth; just felt like it. Woohoo!
Since then, my time's been filled up with this internet software company I got a consulting gig with. It's nice cuz it's temporary and pays nicely - definitely a big help w/ the ole credit card bills i've stacked up from this last year of lowpaying job/taking classes/paying for applications.
Ah, my blog is so not interesting. Just little updates, no witty creative writing, no adventures. Just a miracle of God's mercy getting me into a school.
Here's what I put Him up against:
- late application - many people were already accepted into schools when I took my DAT exam
- mediocre test scores - DAT scores were half good, half not so good - for overall okay
But I did have a unique story and experiences so that helped.
In the end, I am incredibly thankful & humbled by this whole experience.
But I hear the hard part isn't getting in, it's getting out! haha
Praising God for this open door...
