Its really cool to have all you guys here to help us out. What would you prefer the 08ers do to contact you guys for information? I ask this because I sent some of you PMs and recieved (insightful) replies. However, some of you did not reply to my PMs. I don't want to be pi$$ing people off by flooding their inboxes. So....please enlighten
While I have answered the occasional PMs, I think it would be better to keep things "in the open". I won't be reading any essays or giving some applicant-specific advice, so I prefer to share answers with the rest of the community in the form of general messages. There are several reasons for this, which I include below:
a) The same questions and answers may be useful to more than one person at a time and it would feel unfair to discriminate between the people that PM and the rest.
b) I'm not a professional at this, so by sharing the questions with the community, some arguments or ideas may be countered by others rather than taken as final.
c) As written above, I won't be providing any specific advice, i.e.: I won't commit to reading anyone's essays, so I don't see the need for PMs in my case. Talk to rhyme about essays, if that's what you need.
