Applying to MSPP

The Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology offers a Master of Arts program in Counseling Psychology.

Obviously, I am applying.

While the GRE’s are optional (hence why this is the first school I am actually making an effort for), I do have quite the list of things I need to include in my application:

  • $50.00 Application Fee (non-refundable)

Oh, the joy.

  • Completed application form

Which, of course, I have to fill out online. We will wait on that one.

  • Three (3) letters of recommendation

I just hope it won’t count against me that two of them will be from music teachers at the same school.

  • Curriculum Vitae

This is fancy talk for “kick-ass resume.”

  • Autobiographical Statement

A 3 – 5 page AUTOBIOGRAPHY?!?! Please. Kill me.

  • Statement of Purpose & Goals

Another 3 – 5 pages of self-righteous drivel. While I enjoy writing these sorts of things… I DISDAIN being judged by them.

  • Official transcript(s)

Easy. Got one already… somewhere in here… I think…

  • Change of Career Statement

Unfortunately, I think this might just be applicable to me. We shall see if “Performance Design” can really count as a “career.”

This is going to be a LOT of work. Pray for me.

If your music teacher's letter of recommendation doesn't fly, I bet ghost and I could forge a really good one.

Liz. I love you. But carve out a few hours over the next week and do it. Or else you'll never get it done.

And if I have to sit there with an cattle prod and poke you until you write something, so help me....

I will.

ghost said...

how can you pass up time with a cattle prod? i mean really.

oom oom said...

agreed, cattle prod and several hours. i can't think of a more fun way to spend an evening. heck, i'll throw in the 50 bucks. who needs a rufund when there's that kind of fun?

seriously, agree with suspectred on this one...just do it. what are you waiting for, liz? if this is really in your heart, what you want to do, go for it.

hug.

We could sell tickets to this and pay for your application fee. I mean, two red heads partaking of electrifying torture?

Sounds hot to me.
