Summary of Application Experience
People say you never know how this application process is going to turn out, but in my case, it worked out exactly as I expected. Definitely no surprises here. Wouldn't have done much differently-- I would still apply to all the reaches, but would have just gone with two state schools and the Harvard and Yale types. Hindsight and all that... Glad it's over, but all in all, it went really well. Good luck to you.
