AbuEllie's wisdom

I hired a consultant to help me because of my terrible GPA. I have no idea if that helped significantly or not; I feel like my results were more or less what I expected they might be coming into the cycle. Fellow veterans, definitely use Service 2 School (I did not, but am now volunteering with them) even if you get/pay for other help. It’s a great resource that will cost you nothing.

Veteran-specific stuff re: scholarships: if you get a scholarship offer from a public school and you are planning on using GI Bill (i.e. you don’t need the money), ask them if they will convert at least some of it to a stipend you can use on top of your GI Bill. I was able to do this at UMN (full tuition offer, changed to a $10,000/yr stipend) and I know other veterans have been able to do so as well. I believe it’s only public schools that do this because your tuition is automatically covered and they don’t need to contribute (Georgetown shot me down), but try anyway.

I think my experience is probably hard to apply to other cases (lots of WE and vet status to counterbalance the GPA), but I would absolutely advise other splitters to shoot your shots and shoot them early. I’m always happy to talk to folks and offer suggestions or advice if I can be helpful.
