Yeah that is exactly what he/she is doing.....typical response from this forum. I've been a lurker for 2 years and finally made an account. Ignore the albeit non-sugar coated advice about changing your application for the better because it made you realize that there may be somebody out there who knew what they wanted and did all thhey could to make it so they got there. I for one, along with the others apparently, think it is decent advice.
I was told that too...but only 1 accept to my home school makes me think otherwise! I've got 6 rejections sitting in my inbox all from equally-ranked schools to my home school, which is admittedly not high on the list. But I can't afford to get my hopes up too high since I'm on the fence about whether grad school is for me.
