Congrats to everyone!
Although I'm a bit out of place here, seeing as I am actually applying for this coming Fall of 2017, I am getting ready to venture out to Charlottesville, VA in a couple weeks and would love any sort of advice you may have! I am going to meet with the department, learn more about the program, all that good stuff!
Also, I have a lower-than-average GPA. I went to 3 different schools throughout my undergraduate career due to family medical issues, so between all the transfer and lost credits, I graduated from KU with a 2.8 cumulative. It's a very sensitive subject, but I'm not going to get discouraged and give up on my dream that easily!
Anyway, if anyone would care to share their story or any tips for people like myself I would greatly appreciate it!
