So I am really starting to freak out reading some of the stats on here. Everyone is so impressive, it's making me feel like I have no chance at getting in anywhere. I definitely started all of my experiences/observations way too late and got a super low GRE score. Can someone be honest and give me their opinion on if they think I have a chance. I also feel like I am applying super late, which isn't helping my odds.
