the admissions office has been really kind to me as well; i've been pestering them with my questions since august!
I did my bachelor's degree in biology & environmental science, a pretty standard background for F&ES (i'm guessing).
regarding the SOP- i was told that it's ok if the word limit slightly overflows; as long as it's under 650 words it should be acceptable.
My GREs were similar to mm1234, we're in the same boat :/
is anyone here an international applicant?
