I am a low income, nearly NO income grad applicant. However, I am single with no children. Despite that it still is a struggle applying to schools with all the fees you have to pay, transcripts and app fees. I don't have any money to spare for these things when I have bills to pay and of course, money to pay for the food. I am applying to grad schools to better my life, so I won't have to struggle on a monthly-yearly basis. I always get the concern trolls lecturing me to "quit complaining and apply for scholarships." "Get a job, and pay your own way." It's usually people who have been working for a billion years at the same job they got in a different economy. There are few scholarships for people like me and jobs are scarce in my area; which means that moving to another area where there are jobs is out of the question because I have no savings. I did once, but they were sacrificed for bills and food. I just want to give up on everything some days. I'll stop complaining now, lol. Maybe 2017 will be a better year?.

I was rejected for this program last round, fall 2016. I wish they had told me why, maybe it was because it was my first time applying? My GPA was on the low end but still a B average, 3.0 and it improved after that to a 3.38 after graduation in may 2016. Anyway, I am applying again and if anyone has any experience with this program, I'd appreciate advice. Thanks
