So I applied to UCLA, UNC and am currently in the process of applying to Maryland. That 500 word essay is killing me. I had a solid, well written 900 word essay that I have to condense. Eek!
I thought I would lay it all out there for the world to see:
My GRE scores are low: 149/146 and a 3 in the essay portion.
My GPA averages 3.5. (I transferred from community college to one of the worlds leading research institutions )
However, I do have some experience in the field from which I gained working, interning and researching in Greece. I also have excellent recommendations. Wish me luck everyone! I am really going to need it.
