Left Skew

I'm a bit torn; all the POIs I emailed were welcoming. George Mason and NC State impress me on paper, but we will see. It's funny how much of a numbers game it becomes. The I/O programs have far lower odds than the other programs I'm applying to. Best of luck to everyone!

Same. I bet most December 1st apps will respond early Jan. The mid December and early January by early Feb.

Does Virginia Tech still have an I/O program? (It may be hearsay but I thought they were going to end it in the next few years).
