Application Updates

Well, it has been a while since I have updated this thing.  Again.  Anyhow, busy school semester has finally come to an end.  I have survived and can finally move forward with my life.  Part of that moving forward is switching my focus back to school applications.  Due to the busyness of school, I haven't been able to focus on grad school applications and will thus miss the deadlines for some of the schools I had planned on applying to...mainly UC Berkeley, MIT, and Georgia Tech.  I have readjusted my list of schools to the following:


1. University of Washington (M. Arch)
Deadline: January 15
Status: Complete!
Chances: Slim

2. University of Oregon (M. Arch)
Deadline: January 2
Status: Complete!
Chances: Slim


3. Rice University (M. Arch)
Deadline: December 31
Status: Complete!
Chances: Slim


4. University of Michigan (M. Arch)
Deadline: January 15
Status: Complete!
Chances: Slim


5. Illinois Institute of Technology (M. Arch)
Deadline: January 15
Status: Complete!
Chances: Slim


I have secured two professors to write me letters of recommendations and am still debating on who to ask for my third.  One professor will only write recommendation letters to three schools, so if I do ask for his, I'll have to pick three schools for him to send it to.  Anyhow, here's to hoping for the best.


As for job searches, I have selected a few firms around Seattle and Portland that I would like to visit and get a feel for over the break.  Ideally, I would be able to land a job with one of them after I graduate, so it would be nice to kind of get my foot in the door and present myself to them beforehand.
