Hiking JMT during application cycle


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! 

 

I have a random topic to ask and inquiry about. A little about me, I applied this cycle and was waitlisted to 2 programs and interviewed at a total of 5. I was unfortunately rejected to the other 3... I will be reapplying this coming cycle. My boyfriend and I were planning to hike the John Muir Trail from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney this August. Have any of you done this..? I'm afraid that not having reception I might be gambling with my chances of getting in/interview, etc. Do any of you have an opinion about this or experience in a similar situation. I would be out of service for a minimum of 3 weeks in August. Could I have someone else manage my email account during that time? Would that suffice? I'm at a crossroads because this is something we have dreamed of doing and now I'm a little concerned with timing. 

 

Any advice or knowledge would be appreciated!

I don't know when your hiking fits in with your schools' decision processes. That said, I suggest living your life in the interim.

Give the schools an alternative contact and check in with that person twice a week or so.

And enjoy. It won't be every year that you get a chance to do something on your bucket list.

There is no telling what anyone will think about anything. I wouldn't give them all the details. Just that you will be out of phone contact between x and y and in the interim to contact z, who you will be in touch with every few days. When you get back, call them again and report that you're back.
