This Friday at noon, we’ll be having an essay proof-reading session in CSE 403. Bring a few copies of your essays if you get a chance; or, if they’re not done, bring whatever you have, and let fellow students offer help on getting finished.
Or, if nothing else, come and proofread!
Last year’s applicants found this session helpful, so don’t miss it. Remember, essays are due to NSF next Wednesday.
* WHERE: CSE 403
* WHEN: Fri 10/31, 12:00pm – 1:30pm
* BRING: Your NSF essays or parts thereof
* COSTUME REQUIRED: No
We’re unlikely to score leftover Indian this time, so feel free to bring food if that’s your lunchtime.
