Going at your own pace, would probably work better for you and you can still have a (part-time) job on the side to support yourself. | |

| Jul 28, 2014 at 3:11 | comment | added | BobDole | Thanks for the optimistic responses. I do like the idea of a research master's and will also be looking into that. I do much better learning on my own since i'm a full-time web developer right now which is all self-taught. I also really like the idea of taking classes at a target university before being accepted. I never knew that was even possible! | |

I have family members who have been suffering from an anxiety, so I understand the struggle and what you are dealing with. Some Universities are more accommodating than others. Choosing a more accommodating school would be helpful. You can also consider attending couple of classes at your target University to strengthen your application. This would show that you can make it in the new environment. And being forthcoming and honest comes along way. | |

You have to have a certain amount of self-discipline, but you can focus on a project that interests you. | |
