I'm looking at schools towards the Midwest and East Coast... I'm currently set on Iowa, WashU, James Madison, University of Nebraska, and Louisiana Tech. I think 5 is good but I keep thinking about other places, but anywhere near a VA is good enough for me.

Is there an echo in here? So, who's applying for next fall?

I think the wording is brilliant, but everyone, even a graduate school admissions person, got stuck on it. Thanks for the opinions, I'll think it about some more.

I think legacy is also dependent on how much money the family gives to the school.

Oh, something like "While my transferred coursework did not translate into an impressive overall GPA, I believe I have more to show for my experiences."

Hi there, So I met the department chair of my top choice school recently at a grad school fair. We really hit it off and I think I left a good impression. In our talk, she gave me some advice on writing my statement. Basically, I told her my cumulative GPA isn't so hot at a 3.4 and she told me, "no problem, explain it like this" and proceeded to give me specific wording to use. Problem is, I don't know if a 3.4 warrants this extra scrutiny, especially when my major GPA is 3.8. I did add the sentence to my drafts and everyone I've shown it to has had a negative reaction. What would you do?

I know Texas Tech doesn't require a letter of intent or letters of rec for their AuD program, so might check it out.
