"I just know that this program is REALLY competitive, and I want to know if I even have a shot!" I think you have a good chance of getting in. Your GPA and GRE will both be a little bit lower than median, but you have a lot of good experience in th...

Hey there! Thanks Jaxnaud: I am collecting emails - I have some from people I already met, and I just sent private messages to a number of folks on this forum. I figure it will be helpful to pool information - about scholarships, financial aide, and ...
