I have started to research programs and what they offer, but I would love some advice from those who are in school already! Some specific questions I had: How often are there research assistantships available? If you are at Chapel Hill (or maybe Illinois), what was it like to get in? It is my first choice school, but I don't have a 3.5 GPA (their average). I will likely graduate with a 3.25 I have read over and over that job experience is vital, how often do schools have jobs available? Any general advice while I am still an undergraduate that I could be doing to be more competitive? Thanks for any advice in advance... any general advice is great too.
