So I called OSU today with some questions about application materials and I'm glad I did because I had some bad information. On the website for the Dept. there is a link to old information. Total suck. So I have it all straightened out now, but I was worried for a minute.
This process is giving me a lot more confidence in my qualifications. I am a good candidate. I'm a good writer as well so I should be confident in the ability of my SOP to show my merits. Peggy and I went over my resume (I'll just call it that) last night and found some things to add. After working on it today, I think it looks pretty strong. I have a consistent history of either working in education or the outdoors. I have my self-employment work. I look like a motivated person. And I don't have any big gaps in employment, even without adding the few crappy jobs. Pretty soon I'll be done with the OSU application and then I won't have a whole lot more to do for the other two besides changing a little of my SOP and doing the online applications. Oh and it turns out that the letters of recommendation for both Montana and Wisconsin are online, which makes things a lot simpler. Here's a shout out to my awesome recommendation writers.
