Grad School Applications

they take a long time and are a lot of work. I am applying to 7 schools at present (though after seeing that number for the first time I may narrow it down). The app fees range from $30-$125 and in total will be around  $470. My dream schools are NYU and Columbia, and the newton fellowship program, which is not a school but rather a subsidization program of rather high prestige. Both of the aforementioned schools participate in the program and admission guarantees attendance. The good news is that NY needs teachers like you wouldn't believe, and they are more than willing to help pay for you to become one. I am also applying to Long Island university, Suny @ Stony Brook, Cuny Brooklyn, Hofstra, and Manhattanville college. I am not sure which school I am most jazzed about yet, I think that will come after I'm done with the app's and have had time to relax. In the spring I am visitng the city and hopefully all of the schools. That should be pretty rad. Most of these apps are not due till after the first of the year, and I've been working on them since before most of them were even open (i'm applying online). It's alot to keep track of, though. Also, I have yet to find a third recommender. Only a few of the schools require 3 recommendations; most require 2, but I still don't have one. See I can't just ask one of my homies to say they think I'm the smartest broad they've ever met, it's gotta be someone of a bit higher stature. So far I've got my phD math prof who loves me and one of my student's mothers who also loves me. Both are particularly appropriate. But i still do not have a third in mind. Oh well, it'll come to me. thats all for now.
