Basically. I am not going to get to go to Boston. The paperwork from the Bank takes a week, so that already puts me past the deadline. I need to write a personal statement, and forward it to the very nice lady who will be writing my reference (at least one of them, I still need to find two more suckers to fill in forms). The plan as it stands is to take the next day or so to write statement, waste the week I have to waste chasing up referees, and then bundle the whole lot off, completed and impressive - but none-the-less a week too late. I might get lucky?
