Got an email from GSD few weeks ago. Applied right after graduation without working experience and I guess that maybe the reason. It's really sad since GSD is my top choice, but I tried my best. Congrats who got in.

Got an e-mail last week, and then received an unofficial acceptance from POI over the phone today. I had a 3.6/4.0 at a well known school, good GREs, and only 3 months of scientific research experience. For those of you applying in the future: don't freak out if your record isn't perfect! Instead, kill the personal essay, develop solid relationships (-> LORs), and most importantly, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
