Hello Everyone,
Been participating here for awhile. A lot of good advice and helpful guidance. I will be seeking and contributing under this username.
I have a grant to apply to 25ish schools, so would like to have a list around there. Please help me trim my list to get rid of schools not worth applying to (due to no chance or whatever). I don't think I am competitive for MSTP, so I am leaning towards non-MSTP programs.
All comments appreciated!
