Summary of Application Experience
Second time through the application process so I learned from my first go 'round. Biggest lesson: turn everything in EARLY and ASAP. There is no benefit in waiting and it gets the intense worrying out of the way. Focus on living and enjoying life during the process because stressing does nothing to move your application along, just makes the time unpleasant. After the first acceptance, everything is a breeze! Good luck to fellow applicants!
