Brief Profile:
Trying this straight out of undergrad. I have kind of an uneven history, but if I get in somewhere then all you people with low-end scores will know to keep hoping. I'd be a friggin sweet clinician, so let's hope this application shines!

Summary of Experience:
The whole process was extremely pleasant with this school. A reasonable application fee, a relaxed (and even fun) interview process and a one week turnaround time for my acceptance. I definitely felt like they were on my side.
Summary of Application Experience
I learned of my acceptance the first week that schools were giving them out, so it wasn't overly stressful at all (I am certainly glad it's over though!) Of course, if I could do it over, I would have had my shit together a bit better after high school, but I certainly have no regrets about the people I've surrounded myself with. My professors, advisers, family, friends and significant other were all absolutely phenomenal throughout the process. My advice to others is to apply very early in the application cycle and to always ask for help (studying, proofing your personal statement, or just a shoulder to cry on) if you need it. Good luck!
