Non genius applicants

I received an offer of admission today from UM Ann Arbor’s PIBS program, and I’d like to say for next year’s applicants: non-“genius” applicants DO get in places. No part of my application was absolutely outstanding (3.3 GPA, 1410 GRE, 9 months research experience, graduating from a virtually unknown school in California), but I received interviews at five out of the ten schools I applied to (and we’ll see how I do in acceptances for the other four).

It’s the pot calling the kettle black, but…don’t stress. You DO have a chance.
