[</em>] Job/Work Experience: None, unfortunately.
[<em>] Essays (subject and responses): I wrote why I wanted to transfer–family issues that are too depressing to talk about online, lol.
[</em>] Letters of Recommendation: 2. I know I only needed one, but yeah. I know they were both decent, but the one from the prof. in my major was probably better because 1) it’s from my major; and 2) my prof. is so sweet, and I know she put a lot of effort into it.

[<em>] Other schools applied to: Rutgers, Hunter, Fordham, Columbia (<–LOL, AS IF. I’m lucky I got into NYU). Accepted to Rutgers and Hunter, haven’t heard back from Fordham or Columbia.
[</em>] Comments: I’m REALLY surprised I got in, but SOSOSO happy! Now, if only NYU will give me money, HAH. I think my major might’ve helped me with my acceptance. If you’re scratching your head wondering what a Classics major is, it’s basically just a shorter name for Latin and Ancient Greek. I pretty much just study dead languages and really awesome civilization. It’s good fun.
