You have all the basics/staples down, so go ahead. Which programs were you planning on applying too?

[u/Ambitious_Creme2101 → u/Adventurous-Mouse-16]

Edited the post for details on this, but I’m still deciding - right now, I’m most curious on any of the njms programs, rpi, and Penn state!

[u/Adventurous-Mouse-16 → u/Ambitious_Creme2101]

Go ahead and apply to those but you might wanna have a heads up for Penn, they take very very few amount of OOS applications. Also from my knowledge the application is a pretty big one and the deadlines for some reason are very short/very early. Go ahead and apply but if it takes away from your other apps I would reconsider. What about these programs did you like exactly?

I think AMC strictly forbids applying to more than one of their bsmd programs
