Application done.
I've got a bit of a gripe about Texas' online application... After noticing a weird formatting error that popped up when I pasted my Topic 2 essay, I got kinda paranoid about Topic 1 which I had already submitted. Without any obvious way to check it after the fact, I called the help desk to see what could be done. They stated that once you copy and paste an essay into the field and submit it, that's it! Nobody can change or delete it or anything! I actually created a whole new application from scratch as a result and triple checked the formatting for each essay. Ugghhh.
Add to my frustration the fact that recommenders aren't alerted until
after the recommendation has been submitted. One of my evaluators is swamped for the next two weeks which will inevitably delay my app's review (he had plenty of time in October, however...). Meh.
That aside. I'm lovin' McCombs... fingers crossed.
