I submitted my application to
Norwich University late last week. It was a pretty involved process. Items required included the following:
Application and $50.00 fee
Admissions essay
Current resume
Three letters of recommendation
My undergrad transcripts
As I stated in a previous post, the problem I was running in to was that the deadline for applications at Norwich and the final day of classes at
Kaplan happened to be the same day.
The good folks at Norwich gave me a small extension since this was the case, and after busting my hump to get all of my work done in plenty of time, it looks like Kaplan will send my transcripts to Norwich sometime this week.
Now that the final grades are in for my last three classes, I will share those with you:
Advanced Career Development Strategies: 98.7%
Web Marketing and E-Commerce: 96.2%
Bachelors Capstone in Management: 95.2%
That should do some good to my otherwise high 3.56 GPA.
In an effort to get everything done, I worked for 3 and a half days with about 6 hours sleep. I made myself sick doing so. I came down with a bad viral infection. But what I got accomplished was pretty amazing. I am still trying to get back in the groove of work and life. That illness really set me back mentally and physically.
I got a 56-page report done, a couple of 16-page reports done, an 8-page report done, and some other miscellaneous duties that were required of me in order to finish all of my classes. One of the most taxing was the chore of setting up a true e-commerce site with the capability for the instructor to go in, see products, and buy them. It took several hours of coding to do that. I got it done, though!
In the mean time, I plan on doing some much-needed catching up on reading. For my birthday, I received the following books:
Basic Economics: A Citizens Guide to the EconomyBy Thomas Sowell
More Sex Is Safer Sex: The Unconventional Wisdom of EconomicsBy Steven E. Landsburg
Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don’tBy John Lott Jr.
The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first CenturyBy Thomas Friedman
Until I hear something, I am just kicking back and relaxing, and trying to get my mind and body back in the game.
