Hey guys why don't we all edit our posts and add info about our current and future IV's and rejection so that others can see the kind of things that programs are looking for and also others can now where to apply with more probabilities according to their credentials.... I edited my post hope others join, I think the whole purpose of sharing our credentials is to help each other out and also help ourselves (in case we don't match...HOPEFULLY NOT THE CASE!!  and also help others for next year.
Good luck everyone!!! I wish everybody a great october!! My birthday month so hope I get a lot of presents from above!!!

Finally coming around to posting here. Although I have to say, it is slightly intimidating after reading everyone else's brilliant performance.
