I will only be a Junior next semester (fall 2012) in my undergraduate program. I was looking at this forum and it seems everyone involved with this forum are focused on the top schools and maybe have some fall backs schools. I go to an extremely small school, with very little recognition and I know I don't have the best grades. Therefore i will only be applying to a couple upper level schools as best case scenarios. Will this forum be any help for a guy like me that is focusing on lesser quality programs? I dont care about getting the best degrees and the best jobs. I just want to be able to work in the area that love and hopefully do some significant research if I'm lucky. Also I appreciate any suggestions of schools that can help with funding a lower income student. Im looking at programs like Florida State and the University of Florida because im a resident. Other possible schools that look a little more in my range are University of Kentucky, University of Memphis, University of Tennessee, and other Southern schools just because I would like to stay in the same region of the country as my family. Any Advice would be much appreciated. Ps my main question is will this forum be any help to a guy like me?
