Summary of Application Experience
I didn't even think I would get secondaries, so I was surprised to get three interviews before december. But I haven't heard anything since then. I think I should have applied to different schools. The UC's were basically a waste of money and effort, I would have rather have tried Jefferson, Rush and some other schools in the midwest. Applying early is really important, I was complete in August everywhere but I haven't heard anything from most of the schools and its Feb. It's pretty annoying how they don't even send a letter letting me know what is going on. I should have turned my secondaries in quicker, I sat on some of them for a month.
I think I am going to get a lot of rejection letters in the next few weeks.
I can definitively say that being on the waitlist at top choice school is the worst part of the whole process.
