After reading a few of these threads and trolled LSN, I am beginning to think that I wasted my money on application fees. Eventhough I only have a 3.3/163, I applied to 10 top 25 schools (Duke, GULC, GW, Emory, Vanderbilt, Columbia, etc). I am a mexican-american/female/veteran with two tours in Iraq.
Are these "soft factors" enough to get me a big envelope?
