ThaMyst (2022-2023)

#s aren't great but hopefully can still get in somewhere & make up for them

Potential soft factors include:
Took several years off from school after UG degree (2004)
Employed while UG
US Military---8 years
Traveled extensively (domestic and international)
Various work experience

Hoping this year works out better than last year...I chose not to apply to "lower" tier schools, because why go to LS if you're not able to do much with the school's degree...

12/03/2008---Ding @ Texas (Quick, and expected long shot, but hey I was born down there so why not...still hurt to receive a painfully short 4 sentence letter, which had to take 30 secs to write... )

12/12/2008---Surprisingly deferred to general pool @ Michigan (Same small envelope as a ding, but Director Zearfoss shockingly gives a stay of execution for the holidays...)

01/12/2009---DIng @ Michigan (...which a month later, she quickly takes back...same small envelope, which is just mean I tell you)

01/12/2009---Ding @ Maryland (Small envelope again...I can't even lie, 2 dings in one day is pretty depressing)

01/17/2009---Ding @ Temple (Another small envelope...I officially dislike all things Philly...sports, schools, even cheesesteaks, they can all kick rocks)

01/20/2009---WL @ SUNY-Buffalo (Small envelope, but thicker than others containing a letter to send back...while not liking not hearing yes, still a most welcome respite to the monotony of nos)

01/24/2009---Ding @ Wisconsin (Small envelope, but more detailed from Dean Hall...prob only got that cause he knows my friend that goes there, but a ding is still a ding)

01/26/2009---WL @ Hofstra (Small envelope, but thick like Buffalo, also containing a letter to send back...where's the love???)

01/26/2009---Ding @ Howard (Apparently the love's not in the standard small envelope they sent me)

01/29/2009---Ding @ Arizona State (Small envelope, so it's looking like warm weather 4 LS, isn't in the cards)

01/31/2009---Ding @ Connecticut (No love from the state I where I went 2 HS is def disappointing)

02/02/2009---Ding @ Rutgers-Newark (Wow, the school's 10 mins from me & showed no home field/court advantage)

03/09/2009---WL @ Penn State (Small envelope, but thick like Hofstra/Buffalo, also containing a letter to send back...wow, waited 5 months just to hear I gotta wait some more)

03/27/2009---WL @ Rutgers-Camden (Small envelope...this one was thin like those other rejections, except it was a letter stating we want you if some other people we want more don't show, lol...wow, the last outstanding school so looking like the summer before I know if I'm going to LS)
