Finally finished grad school applications!

1.4.21

After nearly a year of researching programs, studying for the GREs, meticulously preparing my statements of purpose, and making about 10 different versions of my academic CV, I have finally finished applying to graduate programs for the Fall 2021 semester!

As somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to my writing, I definitely did not expect this process to be so arduous, and I’m glad it’s over. That being said, I really couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and friends, and in true sociological fashion, I am reflecting on my own cultural capital and socioeconomic privilege. This experience taught me a lot, and I am more inspired than ever to work to break down the barriers in higher ed.

Hopefully I’ll have some good news to report in a few months, but until then, keep calm and stay humble.
