Got the notification today... I passed the first 4 challenge exams! woot!
So where I stand: I have 2 more challenge exams ahead of me in 2012. I also have 8 on-campus classes to take, which I won't be able to do until the universities open up more spaces for conversion students.
So I'll work on the final 2 exams I can take, and assess the schools and re-consider my application strategies. No point applying to school who are 'less inclined' to admit conversion students!
In the mean time, I am still hunting for work. Had a few bites but nothing concrete to-date. I knew from the start that this process would take time, so I'm not in any way upset over things.
Anyway, that's where I'm at!
