I feel like I haven't done my homework before sending out my apps. I should have done more research about different schools, programs, funding, etc. But I was so focused on studying for GRE and not flunking it again that I did not spend enough time researching the programs. I think I should have applied to maybe 2 more schools (I only applied to 4). Also, I didn't find this forum until after I submitted most of my stuff. Still, the schools which I selected are top notch and I already got one interview next week, but then again I should have considered "safety" options.
