i finished my essay but i only half of it fits on the space! what should i do?

Anonymous said...

riiki i told u.... u ahve to take stuff out even if u think u need it!!! luv ya!

if it doesn't fit, don't write it in that space.
type or write it on a separate paper and attach it to your application.

many do that even if it does fit.

unles they changed the rules and tell you hat you HAVE to keep it to that space.

of course, you don't want to leave it THAT long. nobody wants to read a megillah.

i just went to take my passport pics...and i looked gross...oh well, i guess were not supposed to look pretty, right? and why do they need pics of us anyway?

Anonymous said...

well, it depends on the sem.

some use the pics to give to the teachers so that they can recognize you.

some just file them.

others give them out for shidduchim. jk. :)

What if I already wrote it on that space and it doesn't fit. Should i attach a second paper on top and just write on top that its the secoind page?

sounds like a good idea.

when do the apps have to be finished?

Anonymous said...

Depends on which sem. Anywhere from this week until the first of December.

About reference letters: do you have to send them in with your application or does your teacher send it for you?

Anonymous said...

many teachers send them in for you.
if not, they give it to you in a sealed envelope.

but make sure she's actually sending them. many teachers didn't my year.

and your references don't have to be from a teacher.

how do we reminde a teacher to send a letter w/o sounding rude?

Anonymous said...

not sure about that.
if you can talk to your principal, maybe ask her/him to find out if all the letters were sent out. say that you heard that in one school a few years ago, only one teacher sent in letters.

but you have to be really respectful about it.

as i said previously, if you can get someone other than a teacher to write a letter for you, then go for it. the same teachers are usually bogged down year after year, and it does take time to write these letters.

but what if she said that she'll send it directly to them sem? how do you make sure w/o being disrespectfull...its like implying that she probably forgot... can i just ask a diff teach even tho i already asked her? what if she does end up sending it? then ill have 3.. 2 from teachers who gave it to me to send and 1 from her directly to the sem...is that a problem? so, if not, maybe ill just ask another teacher who i know gives it directly to the student.

most sems understand either way. at the interview, they may ask you why you didn't get a reference letter (they asked me at mine why i was the only one in the whole grade to have one)
as long as you took care of it on your side, then it's ok.
