Summary of Application Experience
Long and painful. Started early and got my application in by the 2nd week of June. Initially applied to 30+ schools, blazed through the first 25 of the secondaries then gave up on the rest. My stats aren't amazing, but I think I'll pull out ok. Will update when this whole thing is over.
I applied to all of the schools that I wanted to...didn't want to have any regrets. I applied to too many upper tier schools...surprisingly, I got interviews from a few of them. On the flipside, I feel that I applied to too many backup schools too...whatever. it's over now.
This has been a very humbling experience.
