So.....according to the message board in which I am a part of, one grad school mailed out interview invites two days ago to the most qualified candidates. This means that either today or tomorrow, if I am in the top percentile, I should be receiving my first interview letter. This means that either today or tomorrow I am going to be getting great news or not as great news. Either way I am ok with what transpires...if I don't get into schools this year, it just gives me one more year to prepare myself to be a better PA. Also, by either receiving a letter or not, I'm going to at least have some more clarity about my finances for the next couple of months! (Ie, spending up to $700 for airfare and hotel and car rentals, spending money on an online class that only one school requires, etc...). I do believe that I might pretend to get the boys off the bus today just so that I can stand by the mailbox when the mailman comes :)
