Okay,               so               some               of               the               following               is               going               to               sound               very               self-aggrandizing,               but               it's               important               for               you               to               understand               some               of               my               background               to               understand               the               message               of               the               article.

I've               now               completed               two               masters'               degrees               and               have               enough               credits               to               make               another,               but               some               of               those               credits               are               unrelated.

I'm               now               working               on               my               PhD               in               gifted               education.

It's               been               thirteen               years               since               I               completed               my               undergraduate               degree.

I               graduated               as               an               honors               student               with               a               4.0               (out               of               4.0)               GPA,               2nd               in               my               class,               Phi               Beta               Kappa.

As               an               undergraduate,               I               was               president               of               the               English               club,               president               of               Sigma               Tau               Delta               (the               English               honors               society),               editor               of               the               school's               literary               magazine,               and               an               award-winning               student               (I               told               you               it               would               sound               self-aggrandizing-sorry,               but               you'll               see               the               point               in               a               moment).

When               it               was               time               to               apply               for               graduate               school               I               had               more               than               fifty               pages               of               my               novel               ready               to               go,               my               Graduate               Record               Exam               (GRE)               earned               me               honors,               my               recommendations               were               embarrassingly               glowing,               I               had               earned               numerous               scholarships,               and               was               even               an               Elie               Wiesel               Prize               in               Ethics               winner               (there               are               only               about               five               or               six               per               year).

I               applied               to               four               local               (local               to               Maryland)               universities,               including               reach               schools               and               safety               schools.

And-at               first-I               didn't               get               into               graduate               school               at               all.

Not               at               all.

Not               a               single               school.
               So,               what               happened?

I'd               done               everything               I               thought               I               needed               to               do               to               prepare               for               graduate               school.

It's               much               like               preparing               in               the               senior               year               of               high               school               to               enter               undergraduate-taking               exams               (the               GRE               instead               of               the               SAT),               asking               for               recommendations,               ensuring               extracurricular               activities               round               out               the               student,               achieving               honors               and               awards,               maintaining               a               strong               GPA,               and               so               on.

But,               for               graduate               school,               especially               one               involving               a               product               (my               masters'               degrees               are               in               writing),               the               product               itself               must               be               superior.

Apparently,               mine               was               not-at               least,               not               initially.
               After               the               initial               shock               of               not               getting               into               graduate               school,               I               turned               to               my               undergraduate               creative               writing               advisor,               Maribeth               Fischer               (The               Life               you               Longed               For,               The               Language               of               Goodbye)               and               we               worked               diligently               and               quickly               on               my               manuscript.

While               we               thought               it               was               wonderful,               brilliant,               stupendous,               apparently               the               graduate               schools               had               not               thought               the               same.

We               revised               and               revised,               and               then               I               sent               it               off               again               asking               for               a               reconsideration               from               one               college-Johns               Hopkins               University.

Finally,               they               admitted               me.
               There               is               much               to               consider               when               applying               to               graduate               school.

Depending               on               the               type               of               graduate               school               you               plan               to               apply               to,               keep               in               mind               that               some               graduate               programs               only               admit               a               handful               of               students.

My               cohort               at               the               University               of               Miami               was               four-four               of               us               admitted               out               of               more               than               one               hundred               applications.
               If               there               is               a               product,               such               as               chapters,               a               portfolio,               a               presentation,               it               has               to               be               the               best               ever.

Have               others               review               it               and               help               you               with               it.
               Apply               widely.

At               first,               I               wasn't               willing               to               move               to               attend               graduate               school,               so               I               applied               to               only               local               Maryland,               Virginia,               and               Washington               DC               universities,               but               there               can               be               a               bias               against               those               who               live               locally               as               the               university               strives               for               national               and               international               diversity.
               While               reapplying               to               Johns               Hopkins               University,               I               also               sent               out               a               new               round               of               applications-to               twenty               colleges               around               the               country.

The               good               news               is               that               in               the               second               round               of               applications               I               was               accepted               to               eighteen               of               the               twenty               colleges.

It               was               a               huge               pain               to               my               advisors               to               ask               them               to               handle               so               many               recommendation               letters,               and               I               will               forever               be               in               their               debt,               but               it               paid               off.

As               a               result,               I               dually               enrolled               at               the               University               of               Miami               where               I               earned               a               Master               of               Fine               Arts               in               Creative               Writing               and               at               Johns               Hopkins               University               where               I               earned               an               Master               of               Arts               in               Creative               Writing               (how               I               did               both               at               once               is               another               story).
               Now,               don't               feel               this               story               is               about               you               not               getting               into               graduate               school.

Most               graduate               programs               don't               require               a               product               such               as               a               manuscript               or               portfolio,               and               most               are               not               as               exclusive               as               admitting               only               four               members               to               a               cohort               at               a               time.

My               advice               is               to               be               sure               your               overall               application,               which               includes               essays,               recommendations,               grades,               GRE,               activities,               and               so               forth,               is               as               strong               as               YOU               can               make               them.

Graduate               schools               are               filled               with               all               types               of               people               with               a               wide               range               of               abilities               and               backgrounds.
               Apply               widely.

If               you               apply               only               to               your               local               colleges,               there               might               be               a               locality               bias               that               prevents               you               from               entering               those               schools.

Be               prepared               to               move               if               necessary.

I               gave               up               a               condo,               a               car,               and               left               my               extended               family               behind               to               move               with               my               then               wife               from               Maryland               to               Miami.
               I               would               also               apply               in               numbers.

Yes,               it               can               get               expensive               to               apply               to               numerous               colleges,               but               like               all               those               years               studying               in               high               school               for               a               future               payoff,               the               amount               spent               to               get               into               graduate               school               will               payoff               sometime               in               the               future               through               higher               income               and               greater               career               satisfaction.
               Most               importantly,               have               confidence               in               yourself,               don't               let               rejection               letters               stand               in               your               way,               and               plow               ahead.

You               can               do               it.
