I just recently interviewed and did not get accepted initially. I’m waiting to hear about waitlist. I say this to tell you that you should apply to several schools.

Your experience and credentials are certainly competitive. GPA is low but I see that you have taken some grad classes to make up for that. It’s a PITA but apply to several schools. My stats are competitive, I had my heart set on one school, I applied, interviewed and thought I was getting in. But I didn’t.

I certainly think you are competitive. If you apply to 5 schools, I bet you get in. As long as you can interview well. Best of luck.

Thanks for the feedback Defibin’! I actually intend to apply to 7 schools. So may the odds be in my favor I guess!
