Next year?
I am still trying to figure out whether or not to reapply next year. I know my shortcomings this time around probably had a lot to do with my low work experience and relatively thin post-college hobbies. I’m currently studying for some professional certifications and a foreign language, plus making music again, so on an absolute scale I may look a little more competitive next year.
That said, prevailing wisdom puts 4-5 years work experience as “even”, e.g. the point at which your WE does not negatively impact you. I think 7 years or more is kind of too much for some schools. It’s a very delicate process.
Also, I know my essays can be a lot better and now that I’m a little more knowledgeable about the whole process, I can probably say something that admissions people will like.
There are still a lot of unknowns. I’d like to move to California, but I’m looking at signing a lease on a place in Brooklyn this weekend. I’d like to explore a different kind of job, but what I do right now is really good for me professionally, and whether or not I like it, the voice in the back of my head is saying “it’s only one more year”.
My course of action would be really obvious if, all of a sudden, I got an amazing job offer out of California. Oh well.
