Hi all,
I don’t mean to be redundant as I’m sure there has been a ridiculous amount of similar posts so I apologize in advance but could use some help. I have no preference to in-state/out-of-state and plan to apply VERY broad. I just need some help crossing out the schools that will more than likely disregard my application due to being an out of state resident, low stats, or anything else . Also, I’m not naïve and understand there are multiple weaknesses in my application, constructive criticism and any way to improve upon these weaknesses within the next month or so is appreciated.
