Hiya, Glad to hear someone else is considering FSU. I'd be interested to hear an answer to this question as well.

Hi guys! Same boat with UW - I already have an acceptance with a program I like, fully funded. But I've always been attracted to Washington's program. Hmmmm. Let's hope we hear back soon!

I'm at that weird part where submissions will be going on for the next two weeks or so, and I can't think or talk about anything else. Simultaneously trying to wrap up a full-time semester and TA duties is really not working. My first deadline is Duke, Dec. 8th. Little heads up: I just looked at Michigan's page, and they give you a deadline and then tell you to submit two to three weeks prior to that deadline. WHAT? I didn't put the two to three weeks prior date on my spreadsheet!!! Good luck to you all! Remember to take a break now and then, even if it's just ten minutes not looking at a screen while on public transport.

I had some rough times in undergrad and included two or three sentences explaining the low GPA in my SoP, quickly moving on to the successful points in my academic career. And yes - as midnight streetlight points out - a great GRE score (verbal) will help.
