MSIOP2015

My top school has already accepted me and I'm waitlisted for another. I have 7 more programs that are still reviewing my application. I have about 2 weeks to make a decision on my top, so should I commit before time's up or stretch it out knowing that that I'm jeopardizing funding? I'm excited I got accepted to my top choice, but man I spent a lot of money exploring and applying to all those other programs. Any advice is appreciated.

Applied to 2 programs this year that didn't have a place to upload CV or letter of intent. I contacted them and they told me I needed to email them with the letter and cv attached. That was odd, but being proactive made sure I wasn't rejected for an incomplete application.

My situation is just at bad (if not worst). I am a senior and have a 3.05 gpa with gre scores of 148/147/3.5 (took it twice, other scores were even more shameful). Been in school for nearly a decade so my gpa won't budge. I also have 2 years of i/o research experience (4 posters, 2 to siop). Knowing that i/o masters is getting increasingly competitive, I recently applied to 10 masters programs: Hofstra Roosevelt New Haven Valdosta CSU San Bernardino Louisiana Tech West Florida Baltimore Houston-Clear Lake Touro College Please provide any input if you have insight on anything about these programs. I would like to know what my chances are of getting into at least one program? Thanks.
