1st year grad...Testmagic Alumnus!

Hey...well i guess once u get into grad school its kinda lame to revisit these forums..but hey...im here just to spread a little hope and give out some advise. Im a 1st year PhD student at Hopkins in a biological science...and spent an adequate amount of time on this forum talking with everyone and feeling the ups and downs of acceptances and interviews and Lots and LOTS AND LOTS of waiting....!!! But, just so you know...in the end, the ultimate thing to remember when choosing a program is to make sure u can handle the courses and have more than one faculty member u want to work with.
Other than that, scores are important, GPA is important and above all of this is your letters of recommendation and your interview are the MOST important. Personal statement really means crap.
Any questions feel free to email me at morassa at jhmi dot edu and ill be happy to respond. actually...ill only respond if u are in biological sciences or medicine...i have no clue about engineering or econ. sorry.
peace.

I am really interested about the personal statement.I spent all my day today working on it and I feel my personal statement is the dumbest ever found on this Earth.I really need advice from someone how to write this kind of stuff.
