enrolling at Harvard for fall 2010

So the results for my dissertation are out and I am terrified to check them. For one, I’m really afraid I failed. As my supervisor said, failing the dissertation means failing too much. So in a way I want to keep the mystery and the hope that I passed. I guess I just want to be oblivious to the outcome for as much as I can. I know eventually I’ll have to find out but for now I just want to keep the illusion that I possibly passed. In any case, I’m moving on. Whether the results are positive or negative, I’m moving on and I won’t let it stop me from realizing the only dream I’ve ever had of obtaining my PhD. So…….I’ve been requesting application packs and prospectus from several schools. I’m even contemplating applying to Harvard. Hey…what do I have to lose at this point? The application fee? A bit of dignity? Who knows, I may even get in and get a second chance. Quite honestly at this point I could care less if I get in as a minority student. I know plenty of people who’ve used unconventional ways to get into grad school. I’m shooting for fall 2010. I figured it would give me enough time to make me a desirable candidate. Hey. The first time was a bust, the second time was a win, and who knows what the third time will bring. See you in the fall of 2010 Harvard!


Now the only thing I have to decide is how to properly apply to both the PhD and JD programs.
