Application Update

Yesterday I received my TOEFL score: 112 of 120, with the following breakdown: 29 in reading and listening comprehension (each), 24 in speaking and 30 in writing. This score is good enough for Cincinnati and Calgary; it is even good enough for MIT.

As D is doing in her blog, I intend to periodically update on the progress of my application to the two U-of-C's (Cincinnati and Calgary).

Cincinnati:
==========
Application - done.
Transcripts - sent, receipt has not been acknowledged yet.
TOEFL - done. The score will be reported to Cincinnati within the next two or three weeks.
GRE - the test is on March 10. Course underway. Probably not too important.
Letters of recommendation - done online. For some reason their status is not yet updated in the website.
Application deadline - end of January (for international students).

Calgary:
=======
Application - started. Stuck on letter of purpose.
Transcripts - ready to be sent.
TOEFL - done. The score will be reported to Calgary within the next two or three weeks.
GRE - most probably not required at all.
Letters of recommendation - one is agreed; two more people should recommend.
Application deadline - end of March (probably).
