I've checked this thread out over the last several months. It's been a good read, even after reading the same posts over and over...
Just found out I was accepted for Fall for EE. Here are a few details. I know it was helpful to see a few of the other poster's profiles:
GRE V: 162, Q: 159, AW: 4.5
Undergrad (Music): 3.5
Grad (Music Ed.): 3.95
It seems I received the congratulations email because the grad office was trying to track down my FAFSA (I thought I had sent it). They mentioned 3/29 as a drop-dead date to be considered for financial aid.
