Grad School Decision Time

I began receiving letters back from the schools (7 to be exact) that I applied to for graduate school. I applied to University of Arizona, Arizona State University, University of Colorado- Boulder, University of Utah, University of Washington, Washington University- St. Louis, and Northeastern University.

Last Friday I received letters from Utah and Wash U. Utah accepted me into their program and I have to respond by April 15th (aka tax day). Wash U has placed me on a wait list and will let me know if a position becomes available. Today I heard back from Colorado and they have accepted me into their program. I need to respond by next Friday, March 14th. I also heard from ASU that I have been invited to interview with them. After the interview process they will make their decision.

So all that's left is Arizona, UW, and Northeastern. I already know that I'll hear back from Arizona & UW within the next two weeks, but don't know about NE. I'm getting pretty nervous about having to make a decision between them all, especially since I won't be able to tour some of the campuses. Also, I've been surprised that no one has offered any scholarships since I had a competative GPA & GRE score. Brenna, ask Ryan if he has any advice for me having gone through this before. All additional prayers in our behalf will be welcomed as we have a big decision to make as a family at this time.

I'll continue to keep you all posted on what I hear next.
