I have been depressed all night to the point where I feel I cannot even function. It has been my dream to study at uc berkeley since I was 10, and just when I think I have finally found the perfect opportunity, I somehow mess up. I applied for a summer research position through their diversity program, and spent the past week crafting the best personal statement I could possibly right. However, I started this application way too late, mainly because I was told that you had to be an undergrad and I am graduating this spring. Then I was told to just stay another semester, because this program would be worth it, so I made the decision to go with this. After so much stress over just how exactly I would do this, I needed to just forget that, and just get started on the application, which would be due in a couple days. So that's the most stressful part, I am ok with writing a 2 page personal statement in that short time, but how am I supposed to get TWO letters of recommendation with such short notice?! It would seem almost disrespectful to expect a professor to comply with such a request. But I asked anyway, this program means too much to me. So, I managed to get one letter of recommendation, and found out after calling the program office, that I could still get the other letter sent in after the deadline, but ASAP. So now I am at the post office, ready to send my application express-paid-next-day delivery, when I take a look at the application to make sure everything is there, and see with horror that I also need an OFFICIAL transcript and a copy of the entire application itself. There was no physically possible way for me to produce this, especially since the post office was about to close and it was a friday, and the application is due on monday. So I just mailed my application and personal statement. There is no way I can get help right now, because the office is closed until monday. I pretty much came home, crashed on my floor and cried. I seriously don't even know how to react to this all right now. I am just a sitting duck at this point.
