They must be doing something right!

It is a long long time since I had to write my own graduate school admission essay but it feels like yesterday – I remember just how much time and effort I put into it and how much I agonized over every sentence. I am glad that I don’t have to write another one of them for myself any time in the foreseeable future but I do often get asked for tips and suggestions on how to write a good one by my nieces and nephews.

Frankly I tell them to use the Internet to help them these days because it’s so long since I did mine I can’t imagine the advice I offer is still relevant or really useful.

So far 3 of the 4 that have tried have got into the graduate school they wanted so they must be doing something right
