I submitted the Emory Appliucation earlier today.. Could not meet their recommended deadline (Dec 8 ) for international studdents. My prcrastination and office-workload together share the blame for this.

A couple of regular readers of this blog have dropped me mails asking me for the updates at my end. I agree that I was missing in action for quite some time. The reason for this is that there has been no significant update on the apping or result front for me since my last [...]

Posted this “comment” on a recent post by a fellow-applicant McCoy
After I had finished, I realised that the comment had already acquired the size of a post. So why  not post it on my own blog and compensate for the recent lack of activity. Some R2 applicants and applicants to class of 2012 [...]
