Essay: 22 of the 24 on-air staff at KYW Newsradio are Temple grads. Pretty much launches off with that funfact and goes off with how I want to be part of that and how Temple can help get me there, blah, blah, blah...</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, this makes me feel somewhat better.</p>
<p>I used my week to update my recomendations letters. I plan on using the same one I used last year, which is from a Federal Judge who is also a professor at Temple. The Assistant Chair of the BTMM department also wrote me a very nice letter. I also will be making a phone call in about an hour to the Assistant Dean regarding a request for a letter. I didn’t ask them out of the blue - I’m fortunate enough that I work with both the Asst. Chair and the Asst. Dean!</p>
<p>Initially, I would think this would help me, but would it seem to “over the top”?</p>
