whew! Talk about control. Why not stop worrying about the whole thing. Obviously, powers and minds greater than yours have set well oiled wheels in motion that will decide all without your input.

If you are worried about fairness, don’t.

Life has many little tricks to play on you as you move along the conveyor belt. Many of them are going to be unfair and some will cost money, self-esteem and before you know it, its

time to retire!

The one thing I wish I would have changed is to give up trying to control everything. It won’t make you any friends to be in control all the time and it is at best a very tiring process that convolutes the thinking, confounds the bowels, and has an ill effect on the humours.

You are a well lettered and educated person, and I bet you never got anything based on other than merit. Settle back,

relax, enjoy the ride. Life is your oyster right now. Concentrate on that since you have pinned down the rest of it.

Good luck and may every professor have enough insight to bless you with A’s

Depending on the school, the form of the letter might be different, but usually there is a line “How long and how well do you know the applicant?” He’ll have to honestly say :45 minutes. So you wouldn’t be “unfairly advanaged”.

It really counts if the person knows you well, and it doesn’t count so much if he barely knows you. Your school teacher’s letter might have more weight on this than this famous person’s letter.

Another thing that you have to write well is your Personal Statement (or whatever they call it) and show yourself as ambitious but not arrogant, curious but not annoying, sociable but not a trouble maker.

while you’re already attempting to determine a thank you to activity the MBA equipment, I recommend this is rather useful to re-examine the completed technique, for the reason that somewhat some the factor of that application technique is to illustrate which you would be able to unquestionably do the degree. you will probable get caught, for the reason that letters of rec are puzzling for nook-cutters to faux, and the tries are regularly pathetically glaring. in the event that they call on the internship, don’t be shocked in case you get caught whether the guy lies for you. Admissions human beings have seen all of it until eventually now. of course, they would not call in any respect and you may get by way of. yet then you definately might could ask your self a) whether you belonged there b) if this technique became crappy–a sturdy one might do its homework. you may no longer in basic terms like the solutions. concepts are regularly the main severe area of the applying in any graduate field. They anticipate (perchance wrongly to that end) which you have the essential skills needed or you does no longer prepare. they try to demonstrate screen out psychos, cheaters, and slackers. Who you’re is a lot greater substantial than what you’re able to do.

Unless you are going to Harvard, Yale, or someplace like Rensselaer, a recommendation from an alumni probably wouldn’t mean anything. Your recommendation would actually carry more weight if you got a really good one from an ordinary teacher that knew you very well. What you are probably going to get here is a pre-drafted form letter with your name filled in.

Though on second thought, if you mean this “well-known individual” is one of those guys that has donated 10 million dollars to get his name put on a building, sounds like a good idea to me!!!!!

Take the opportunity. There will be plenty of chances for you to prove yourself thru hard work. I don’t know what you want to study, but a good part of success in any field is networking. Who you know, including your family, can be the difference between getting the job next week or getting it next year. They will still make you work your butt off once you’re accepted.

would this be tacky yes,, get in college your grade matter
