This is what happens to slackers.

My stomach is all knotty. I only require one letter of recommendation from my former Brown Professor, but I need it before February 25th. Which gives him around 11 days to compose something. Most professors want at least a month's notice when writing letters. I want to get into this program, or at least have a fighting chance with my application, and it all boils down to this man. Oh boy. I wonder what he'll say?

ETA - I've caught wind of a BSN/MS program at U. of Illinois at Chicago that seems extremely reasonable pricewise. That's the rec form I'm trying to get Wincze to do for me. U. of Illinois is the only school so far that's asked for three letters, which is such a trip. They also require the GREs, which is BAD because I took it on February 8 and cancelled the scores; since the GREs have a "one test per calendar month" policy, the next time I can take it is the very day my stuff has to be postmarked out to the school - March 1st. Since I also have an Anatomy test that afternoon and the only time available for me to take the test is 6PM, everything's going to be real close, if you get my drift. Anatomy Class starts at 4:10 and ends at 5:25, I'm supposed to get to the testing center by 5:30. All I can hope is that I can blaze through the test in 50 minutes and then get downtown in time.

While freaking out about U. of Illinois' GRE requirement I also found out that PACE needs my GRE score as well. Boy oh boy. Craziness.

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you; I needed a letter of recommendation from somebody in under twenty-four hours (the person who originally said they'd write it got busy and couldn't) and they managed to come through, so ... hopefully your Brown professor will manage to understand the urgency. Good luck!

Thanks. He has his own practice and everything, so I don't know how willing he's going to be to drop it all for the hour or so it'll take to scribble something meaningful about a student who was a pain in the ass while he was helping her write her thesis. *sigh*

Thanks for the luck. Imma gonna need it.
