Paxton, Thanks again for your feedback. I appreciate your candor with respect to Thunderbird. I have heard the same feedback from another source as well, so I am definitely taking pause and I do intend to conduct more research in the next year before making a final decision on applying there.

Helen, Thank you SO MUCH for the links you passed along! Both of the articles were extremely helpful!

Helen, Thanks so much for your feedback. A couple of followups (if you don't mind): (1) What sorts of schools are you referencing by "the next tier"? Is this those outside the top 10, top 25, etc.? (2) Do you have any suggestions for how I might go about searching for non-school specific s...
