Thanks SOV and KP! I declined my spot due to an assistantship position that I was offered in the spring. To answer KP's question, I will be headed off to grad school at NDSU in the fall. I have not given up on my dream, and I am looking forward to the 2014-2015 application cycle. I wish all of you the best in your academic endeavors especially for the Class of 2017! Way to go, guys! 🙂
