Summary of Application Experience
applying senior year of undergrad was sort of a hoax and i didn't expect to get into any schools as my original plan was to take a year off after graduation and apply to a wide range of US and canadian schools in the next app cycle. miraculously, got into both schools (one immediately, and one off waitlist), so decided to matriculate at U of Toronto this fall (2002).
