I'm passing on the CV question (Rashaad)

Rashaad and Richard: Are there any tips you can provide on crafting the best personal statement?

Gabriela and Stephanie: My GPA is not great, are there other things I can do with my application to show I am still equipped and ready for graduate school?

We don't have a lot of time, so I'm just going to ask these two final questions:

After the ApplicationWhat should I expect once I’ve submitted my application, and how long do I have to wait before I hear back from the program?Please explain the admissions process? How do admissions committees decide who gets accepted?
