Brief Profile:
A lot of schools and top heavy, I know.
Advice for future applicants: Apply early and get your secondaries done early. My biggest regret was doing very little between submitting my primary and receiving secondaries. I thought they would slowly trickle in and I could do them slowly. Instead, I got 30 secondaries to do within the first 2 weeks of August. Then, it was just overwhelming. Decided not to do a few and a lot of them were turned in more than 2 weeks after I received them, which is not optimal.
