Concerns: the whole thing freaks me out! right now im worried that my GRE scores won't arrive at the first schools on time (I took it yesterday and my first apps are due on Dec. 15) I'm also worried about not having enough people look over my SOP and I haven't had anyone edit my writing sample (undergraduate senior thesis)
Questions: Have you guys talked with/met your POIs? Does the future financial situation worry you? I am not wealthy, nor do I plan on being wealthy, but I would like to have children someday! I'm only 23 but already worried about when I'm going to be able to fit in starting a family....
