Ok, now onto what is going on right now. I am currently a week away from finding out if I got into Exercise and Sport Science. I'm so anxious to hear from them. If I do not get into the major, I am switching to Psychology. Honestly, it's a very easy major. I pretty much have all of it completed with the exception of the classes directly related to the major, and those will take me only two semesters to complete. So, in theory, I can graduate a semester early (I can handle that). So with that semester between classes, I'll just work full time to start saving up money. Grad school is expensive so every penny counts with this.
Today, the graduate school on campus had a workshop for those interested. Wanting to go into grad school, I was interested in getting some of the basic information of applying and financial aid. Near the end, there was a panel of graduate students. One of the things that they mentioned is to try and contact people in the department that you're planning on applying to and try to establish a relationship with them. That way, when it gets to the point of them looking at my application, they will remember me and hopefully accept me. If I got anything from that workshop, it was that.
