So a few days ago I HALF filled out a profile on [gradschools.com](http://gradschools.com). As of today i’ve got 3 schools who are sending my loads of info and one of which is trying to get my work number so they can call me! WHOOOOOT! 2100 GRE scores ROCK ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CRorex \* > \*\* > 2100 GRE scores ROCK \*\* Don’t they though? 😃 Seriously - be prepared to work harder than you’ve ever worked at school before - no matter what school you end up at. I ended up at one that I considered a “safety” as an undergrad, and the graduate classes are wearing me out. But it’s sooooooo much fun too. 😃 And it has to get easier (or at least I have to get used to it) after this first semester. ---

I just got back from Carleton’s “Family Reunion,” which confirmed: I don’t know of a single Carl who has worked harder in grad school than they did at Carleton - with the possible exception of med students, and that really only starts in residency. Sure, there are always rough patches, but worse than comps? Worse than falling a week behind, when a course has only nine weeks but covers a semester? You’ll be fine. Really. ---

Niiiiice! I’ll have to check that site out. I’m taking the GRE Thursday to start applying to Ph.D programs. Here’s hoping I can do as well! _crosses fingers_
