  1. Anything is possible. 2.54 in undergrad. First generation college student. Went immediately into a master's program. Got straight A's. Spent a few years in the field. Now thriving in the PhD program of my dreams. I remember reading this thread the FIRST time I applied to doctoral programs and did not get in anywhere. Second round I finally got in. Trust. Everything happens for a reason. We stew over gpas, scores, and compare unique experiences insisting that we have some degree of control over the outcome of the admissions process--when in reality we probably have a lot less control than we'd like to admit. Where you are meant to be is where you are meant to be... That said: If you want to make a difference, go and BE THE CHANGE. If you wanna reach for stars, fly out there and BE ONE. If you have a calling, you better pick up that phone!!!
  2. It's gonna be super cold. Check accuweather to gain a sense of what I mean. Layers will help a lottt. Chicago does not mess around.. Google "chicago lake effect" Even late march, while there may be no more snow, everything may still be frozen bc of the windchill... I went to loyola Chicago for my MA and I'm from Cali. If I was going back for a visit, i would be sure to pack my wool pea coat, a full suit, nice blouse, leather gloves, fleece beanie, high quality/dense scarf, and (depending on conditions) leather or snow/slush boots. I hope this helps! And good luck with your vist! I loved Chicago.
