hollanding got a reaction from ColorlessGreen in MARCH IS IT!!!!
One of my schools included this in their "we have all of your materials email":
Thanks for being such a competent applicant and having everything ready for review. I really appreciate it. I wish you all the best for a successful outcome!
Nice to know that even if I get rejected, I was a competent applicant. I might print that out and put it on my fridge because it actually makes me smile.

hollanding reacted to mei in Thoughts and Advice for Applicants with lower GPA/GRE stats..
I have a similar profile in terms of GPA/GRE stats...what kind of programs have you applied to, if you don't mind me asking? I've applied to about 8 schools, but my top choices are Yale MA in IR, Chicago's MA in IR, Columbia SIPA's MIA, and USC MA in Public Diplomacy. From peering into older threads, I did see some encouraging posts from people with lower GPA/GRE stats who were successful in getting into the top schools through LOR, SOP, and solid working experience...but, I'm still pretty intimidated/terrified and still have nightmares of getting 8 rejection letters!
