    Summary of Application Experience

    The admissions process has been kind to me overall, but I was disappointed about some of my rejection/waitlists. I believe my biggest fault is a lack of long term commitment and depth of experience in my extra-curriculars. Find something you love to do and devote your time to it rather than being a member of every group.
    Most importantly, wait for the admissions decision before you decide you tanked the interview. More often than not, the results may surprise you.
    Good Luck :)
