GPA 4.00

GPA is grad. This one hurt a little. The department would have been a great fit, and it was one of only 2 of my top 10 choices that are not ranked in the top 25 programs on PGR, so it was one where I thought I might be more likely to get in. One thing that did make my feel better was that I heard through the grapevines that Northwestern received 350 applications this year, about 100 more than usual. So, I'm trying not to get to worried just yet. 0a/2r/0w/19p
