   Truth, hadn't considered buses. I suppose it depends what time I have to do it - if it's early enough where most humans will still be sleeping, perhaps that makes sense! I'm figuring the commute time will be either a good buffer (I like audiobooks s...

   Ha! That's a doozy.I'll be commuting from the UES, so still a hike since there's not a direct path. Though I think the Q is helping SUBSTANTIALLY since I actually have a bit of a link to the west side train lines now. phew. I think it will be about ...

   I love that message! And in terms of waitlist - our responses and deposit are due March 15th, so hopefully shortly after that there would be some movement.

   There are no interviews. Outstanding classes are fine as long as you have a plan to finish by start time.

    I'm glad at least that they claim we will hear back in early February! I was thinking late Feb. At least that cuts off a couple of weeks.

    As to whether your score is a problem or not, I think that's been covered on this board many times already. As to the logistics of your question: You don't have time this app cycle, you can only retake once a month (some specific number of days in ...

    I would just consider it as you would a job interview and yes, keep in mind what the camera will see. I put on a nice shirt with my jammies on the bottom, so. :) Remember that you're not just trying to show that you can learn stuff. You're also tryin...
