count me in for RD. i contacted my recommenders (former manager and former VP) yesterday, and asked them if they could do my CBS LORs by jan 5th (or 6th? whatever that deadline is). they both obliged, which was great of them with the holidays coming up and such.
time to crank out those essays.. i think i pretty much have #1 and #3 done, so i'm gonna dedicate some time this week to #2 (ha ha.. you know what i mean). i also wanna set up a visit, although i'm guessing i'm too late for this year. i'll shoot for early january for a class visit / tour.
thanks to everyone who's been posting resources and info on this thread so far (with special thanks to eminent... also thanks for the kind words on the "other" thread, haha

)
