Read Eaton

Six months before I applied to TTU, when it was still an unattainable dream to me, I checked out the site and followed the advice to read Dr. Angela Eaton's article, Applying to Grad School in Technical Communication.

Then, over the summer as I applied and revised, I read it again.  And again.  And again.  And I reviewed it multiple times as I revised my application.  I cannot say that I followed all of the steps exactly, for this summer was a blur of training, writing, and traveling, but I tried hard.  The end result: I got in.

If you are considering applying to any graduate program in comp, rhet, or tc, do yourself a favor and read the article.  Really.  I am sure it is a major reasons as to why I got in.
