Interview

So just three weeks after turning in my application to the Ph.D. program, I had my interview. It was intense! Jered helped me prepare last night and I am really glad that I took the interview seriously and prepared for it as much as we did. Everyone in the clinic has been telling me not to worry about the application process and that I have a great shot at getting in...but there is something about that that is unsettling to me. It's one thing to have confidence in someone, but another to assume that you are "in." I'm just not comfortable doing that, especially not with something that is this important to me.
I thought the interview went fairly well. I was really nervous which I think influenced the organization of my answers. In my head I had everything planned out and ready to say, but my nerves did get the best of me and I felt like I was babbling on a few times. At this point it doesn't make much sense mulling over how I thought it went. This part of the application process is over and it is now out of my hands. I did the best I could, and if my work so far has made a positive impression on them, then I think that I could very well make it into the program. Gosh I hope so. I want this really badly.
Wish me luck! I'll keep you posted!
