Harvard application continues apace. I’ve contacted the three people I was hoping would write recommendation letters for me, and all three have agreed. That’s a load off my mind.
The recommendation letters are one of the few parts of this process that aren’t directly under my control. Having them taken care of brings it all into my basket now. I suppose that one of my letter writers could drop the ball, and that would be unfortunate, but all of them are people I trust and respect. I don’t expect any problems, and if something unforeseeable occurs to cause problems, there isn’t one of them who’s ill-equipped to deal with it. I’ve made the best choices I could, and now it’s time to trust them.
Meanwhile, I have my own knitting to see to. Updating my resume to reflect my current job is one task, and finishing up the four essays Harvard asks for is the other. Working on those tonight.
After I’ve put the finishing touches on the writing, the only piece remaining is going to be the GMAT. That needs some preparation. It’s a multiple-choice test (primarily; there are essays), which means it’s susceptible to good test-taking strategies. Beyond that, however, I need to be ready for the math and verbal questions. It’s been a few years since I was taking academic tests, so studying is in order.
