Phi Beta Kappa after submitting apps
The recommendations I received from the two PIs I had worked under were probably very strong; doubt the others were remarkable
App was verified on 7/11/2014. I was complete at most schools by the end of July, and all schools by the end of August.
Pretty sure that schools dont care about secondary turnaround time, but it definitely benefits you to submit your apps as early as possible - this will get your app read when you are competing with fewer candidates
This profile obviously will become less relevant as time goes on
