02/10/15 Meeting: THE BASICS

Thank you to everyone that showed up today! I hope you all learned something new. We did go through the topics quite quickly, so I apologize for that. However, in this post, I included all the links and sources we mentioned during the meeting today, so feel free to look through them on your own :)

For the next meeting, we will continue our discussion regarding  personal statements. We want you all to become familiar with the prompts and the directions.

We look forward to seeing you all next week~~

**For those that missed last week's meeting, it's cool! We basically went through the same topics (though a bit more in depth)**
